In a rush, but don't want to be hungry by 10:30? H In a rush, but don't want to be hungry by 10:30? Here's the solution! ✨

🔗 Follow the link in my bio for 3 more breakfast ideas (including easy-to-follow videos) and some cute containers to take them on the go! 😊

I've been experimenting with smoothies for a while I've been experimenting with smoothies for a while and I've finally found the magic formula... 👇

So here it is:
🫘 Half a can of butter beans, drained and rinsed (trust me you can't taste them, but they're oh so good for you)
🫐 Half a cup of frozen berries (doesn't matter what type, but choose organic if you can)
🍌 A ripe banana
🥬 A good handful of leafy greens (spinach, etc.)
🥄 A tablespoon of ground flaxseed
(🥜 Optional: a tablespoon of peanut butter - if you want it creamier or are trying to get more calories in)
🫗 A cup of water (about 250 mL) - feel free to experiment with this last one until you get the consistency you like

I came up with this because I couldn't find a protein powder that I liked and that didn't make the texture go all wrong... 🤢

Also because I believe whole foods are the way to go! 🌱 ... Well about 80% of the time. 😉

I make mine two at a time in my @nutribullet as it comes with two cups - that way tomorrow's breakfast is covered! 💡

If you've read this far, make sure you follow me for more quick plant-based breakfast ideas (coming tomorrow)! And have a lovely day. 😘

Just my 2 cents after 7 years of doing this. 🌱✨😘 Resources 👇

✅ You can find the Daily Dozen app both on Android and iPhone - it's a super easy way of ensuring you're eating nutritious foods, without counting calories or any other faffy way of tracking food (it's all evidence-based, by the team behind @nutrition_facts_org). 📲

✅ The @plantbasedmorningshow is the perfect balance of common-sense vegan living advice and nonsense banter to remind you to not take it all too seriously! 😅

✅ My blog jessicagoodenough.com is the place to go if you're wanting to:
🥗 learn the basics of eating plant-based 
💃 take vegan living beyond the kitchen and get vegan fashion and home recommendations!

How's beating yourself up been working for you? 🤔 Here's an alternative. 👇

Focus on what you already have and who you already are. Because:
1️⃣ It simply feels better than focusing on our shortcomings or how "we're not there yet".
2️⃣ It will help you attract more good things. Just like people who complain all the time keep attracting "bad luck", people who focus on gratitude find more opportunities.
3️⃣ Your glowing gratitude will attract people to you that will help you move towards your best life.

I know I have a tendency to always focus on the next goal and the next and the next... But sometimes you need to slow down (and smell the roses 🌹) to speed up. ✨

Happy Valentines Day from my new hair and me to yo Happy Valentines Day from my new hair and me to you! 😘👇 Quick intro if you're new here:

💃🏼 My name's Jessica and I'm 32 (how do I start this without sounding awkward? 😅)

👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 I have two little boys and I work as a green spaces development officer in Oxford in the UK.

🌱 I've been vegan for more than 7 years now, so I'm using Instagram and my blog (jessicagoodenough.com) to share vegan food, home and fashion tips.

💖 I do my best to be welcoming to people no matter how un-vegan (that's a word? 🤷🏼‍♀️😅) they are, because no one likes an angry vegan. 😉

📝 I'm also into personal development, mindset and all that jazz (well not actually jazz, I'm more into country haha 🤠). 

🤔 I'm a questioner and like researching and planning things (go to @gretchenrubin's website, do her four tendencies quiz and come back here to tell me which one you are!). 🤓

Back to you! Tell me:
A. Where you're based right now (obviously don't share your full address)!
B. The last TV series you loved
C. And/or the last book you couldn't put down
... And then I'll share mine! 😊
