Vegan Food in a Flash!

“In and out of the kitchen in no time,” is music to our ears! Stephanie is serious as she puts that sweet potato in the microwave while she prepares the rest of the dishes. Make sure to check the ingredients of your almond butter to make sure it is simply almond butter and salt. No need for any other ingredients. Also make sure there sure there is absolutely no milk in your chocolate chips. “Dairy is Scary” after all!

Stephanie started her plant-based journey seven years ago. Stephanie was inspired by Alicia Silverstone and her book “The Kind Diet.” She was able to gently transition to a compassionate lifestyle with this guidance. Stephanie came up with name Vegan, What? because when she told people she was going vegan, they would say “What?”  The Dope Meal Planner Stephanie incorporates, helps people transition and discover the joys of a vegan diet by trying veganized meals that mirror the nonvegan meals they love.

Wow these three creations were made in a flash! That’s what we’re talking about! Simone Reyes hops in to taste test and says it is so good and filling. She says it makes for a perfect breakfast to get your day off the right start! If you don’t want to wait overnight for your oats, Jane thinks they are pretty good a few minutes later.
