    I like this really easy cucumber and radish salad on the go.

    1 cucumber thinly sliced
    4-5 radishes thinly sliced
    1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
    1/2 cup shredded carrot
    2 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar
    Optional: 1/2 tbsp sesame seeds

    I just toss it together, let it marinate in the fridge for about 30 minutes, and then eat!

    I use apple cider vinegar in all my salads. I'm addicted to it! Apple cider vinegar, some olive oil, a little bit of sea salt and a little bit of lime juice and it takes away the bitterness from Spinach. Spinach is one of the healthiest veggies with a very high chlorophyll content so I eat tons of it.

    I just came up with a new amazing recipe last night. It's a little more then 5 ingredients but it's still super simple and delicious! It's SUPER filling and has only 1g of fat.

    1 can low sodium chickpeas (or you can soak your own if you're into that)
    Handful of cilantro
    1 clove garlic
    Juice of 1/2 lemon
    1/2 cucumber chopped
    1/4 cup green onions
    1/4 cup gold corn kernels
    6 leaves of romaine lettuce

    1.) Throw the chickpeas, garlic, cilantro, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. I threw in some onion powder and cumin as well for added flavor, it's totally optional though.
    2.) The chickpea mixture should be just a tiny bit chunky, but mostly smooth. Stir in the cucumber, green onion, and corn until you have a thick paste.
    3.) Use a spoon and put a generous dollop onto each lettuce leaf. Wrap and enjoy!

    maybe just think of a bowl.
    a portion of rice, quinoa, barley or whatever you like.
    a portion of tofu/ soy product, beans/legumes/ veggies sausage/burger.
    a portion of salad.
    a portion of cooked root vegetables.
    a serve of sauce/ dressing.

    if you plan ahead for the following few days by making a tray of roasted root veg, a pot of grain & have the other things on hand th meals should be a breeze.

    chia seed "oatmeal" is my favourite right now... mash a banana in a bowl, add two tablespoons of chia seeds and 1/2 cup of almond milk (and a pinch of cinnamon and some raisins if you like) and leave it overnight! In the morning you have a protein packed raw vegan "oatmeal"! good luck!
