When it comes to smoothies SIMPLE is always better

When it comes to smoothies SIMPLE is always better. Leea has been helping me make a smoothie for snack time almost every day. This week we had fresh farmer’s market strawberries and homemade coconut milk that we made with our @almondcow so we added it to a blender with ice and our favorite vanilla superfood smoothie mix (linked up in our “smoothie” story highlights.) The fancy name in our home for this delicious smoothie is “the pink one.” 💗 Shocker I know. Our favorite part is that it has four ingredients but over 15 varieties of dehydrated plant food including spirulina, quinoa, and mushroom! I’ll just be over here celebrating this major #momwin 🙌🏼 #raisedonplants #ropfamily

We loved our vacation to Rosemary Beach, Florida!

We loved our vacation to Rosemary Beach, Florida! If you know us you know that we of course packed a ton pre-prepped plant based food. We had banana bread and blueberry muffins for breakfast every day, delicious beach picnics with pesto pasta salad, and asian noodle night planned out so we didn’t have to even think about it. But that didn’t stop us from having lunch at Cowgirl Kitchen on the cobblestone sidewalk of beautiful Rosemary. Whenever you are out to eat and you can’t find a plant based main course that works for you and your family here’s my go to trick. Ask for the house salad and then add whatever else you can to it from other parts of the menu. Look for whole grains, beans, nuts, veggie burgers, roasted veggies, avocado, etc. Example: I ordered the house salad and added chickpeas and avocado to bulk it up a bit. Also please for the love of God ditch the kids menu once and for all! The side menu will be your best friend. You can build an entire meal out of sides or even just ask them for a veggie plate. Don’t be afraid to ask them to steam veggies or cook them in olive oil instead of butter. 9/10 times they will happily accommodate. You can also make plain baked potato delicious with a little bit of olive oil and salt. Happy healthy eating while you’re on vacation! #raisedonplants #raisedrude #leearae #leearaeone

EAT LOCAL and this is as local as it gets. 🌱 Tower gardening is our family’s favorite solution to taking control of our food supply. Did you know that aeroponic gardening conserves 98% of the water of traditional gardening while growing 30% more yield 3 times as fast? And it’s still the ONLY thing we’ve ever been able to successfully grow as busy parents thanks to the fact that it waters itself and requires very little maintenance. (RIP 100+ Trader Joe’s basil plants) Our only pest/critter control problem is our daughter who eats “bites” off her “tow tow” all day long. Feel free to reach out to our family if you’re thinking about starting a garden of any kind and let us help you learn from our past mistakes. And no matter what let this be your daily reminder to eat more plants! #raisedonplants #urbangardening #ropfamily

Moms of toddlers! Do you feel like you’re just a

Moms of toddlers! Do you feel like you’re just a servant to your snacking toddler all day long? As Leea gets more and more active I’m finding she needs more and more fuel to keep from having a breakdown. (Me too actually 🤔😂) Anyways... it has really helped us to form a schedule so it eliminates the constant eating (and cleaning) all day long even though sometimes it still feels like that. Here’s what our almost 2 year old’s schedule looks like... - 8:30 am Wake up + nurse.
9 am Breakfast
PLAYTIME
10:30 am Snack while we walk around the neighborhood as a family (to keep her in the stroller longer lol)
PLAYTIME
12:00 pm Lunch
1:00 pm Nurse before naptime
NAP
3:00 pm Afternoon snack when she wakes up
PLAYTIME
5:30 pm Dinner
PLAYTIME
7:00 pm Nurse before Bedtime - It’s NEVER perfect but we try our best to at least follow the same flow every day. We also make sure she stays hydrated with water and listen to her when she asks for more food or a snack. We never force feed her anything but instead make mealtime fun and interactive as a ploy to make sure she eats enough. It’s amazing to see how toddlers can form their own healthy instinctual eating pattern to some extent if you give them the space to do so. Because we stay on top of her feeding schedule we rarely have “hangry” breakdowns which leaves more time for FUN. Every child is different so mamas please share what has worked for you so we can all get ideas from each other! #raisedonplants #ropfamily #leearae #leearaeone

Instead of our normal weekly email we decided to send out an important message from our hearts to the hearts of our #ropfamily. Please read our email for more information on how our family is using our platform to inspire change both inside and outside our home. We have also made a donation in honor of our Raised on Plants community to @blackmamasmatter, an important organization fighting for all black mamas and babies to have the standard of care and support that they deserve. We love you! 🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏻 #raisedonplants

Toddlers think veggies are WAY more fun with somet

Toddlers think veggies are WAY more fun with something to dip them in. I always serve Leea’s lunch or dinner with a sauce or “sprinkles” on the side. In this case, it’s a trio of lemon herb tahini, hummus, and nutritional yeast sprinkles. It’s our way of adding lots of different flavors to her palette while also making meal team more interesting and interactive.
Other ideas for sauces + sprinkles are...
Plant-based pesto
Marinara sauce
Cashew cheese sauce
Sesame peanut sauce
Seaweed flakes with sesame seeds
Plant-based ranch dressing
Maple tahini bbq sauce

The Rude kitchen is churning out some pretty delicious plant power bowls right now thanks to our Tower Garden showing off in all of it’s springtime glory. We are now officially “lettuce snobs” because nothing beats the taste of bug + chemical free, homegrown, freshly cut butter crunch lettuce right into your bowl. Our challenge to you this week is to make your plate or bowl look like the rainbow with as many fruits and veggies as you can sneak in and then tag us in a pic on your story! (Also #ropfamily make sure check your email for a new monthly “Chicken-less nugget bites” recipe that dropped into your inbox on Friday! 🙌🏼] #raisedonplants #plantbased #plantbasedfamily
