The thing I miss most from when I used to eat animal products is caesar salad. I know, random. I've tried to make it a million times (stay posted for final recipe!) and the one thing always missing is parmesan. I've tried the ground veg parmesan but it's just not the same. I miss that shaved or shredded parmesan that I would load by the handfuls onto my salad while also spooning handfuls directly into my mouth. So really, I just miss parmesan. However, there's no way I'd harm an animal for it. But now Follow Your Heart has saved the day as they always do. Introducing the life changing....

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to eat this out of the tub until it's gone.

That's it! Enjoy!

​PS - This clever sign got me to jump out of the car, take the picture, and stock up on Thin Mints. She's one smart cookie. See what I did there? 

Can't stop. Won't stop. Someone please take them away from me! But not really, I'll hurt you. All hail Trader Joe-San.

Stay tuned for me making these myself next. Andrea Joe-San style.

I'm going to make this really easy on you and save you a ton of time in the grocery aisle. Garden of Life makes the best protein powder. Raw, vegan, blah blah but most important - it has the most amount of protein per calorie. I get the vanilla and put it in as much as I can. Smoothies, oatmeal, pudding, anything that can use a kick of protein! I just cut your grocery visit time by twenty minutes - you're welcome. http://www.gardenoflife.com/Products-for-Life/Foundational-Nutrition/RAW-Protein.aspx

Every once in a while ice cream for dinner is a healthy choice. And by every once in a while I mean at least once a week. My fave? Trader Joe's Cherry Chocolate Chip. I challenge you to make it last more than two servings...
