    WHAT THE AVO TOAST

    Traveling Veggie Muncher Series Reality Check: When “vegan options” just mean overpriced avocado toast. Let’s talk about one of the dumbest things we somehow turned into a personality trait.

And somehow we all just agreed that paying $16+ for a sad piece of bread with mashed avocado is normal. Half the time: Stale-ass bread Avocado borderline brown Some random “fancy” bullshit on top so they can call it artisan Microgreens. Chili flakes.

    Explosive Gas Warning: A Plant-Based Public Service Announcement

    Explosive Gas Warning This is what happens when you decide food needs to support your life… and then get a little too confident with garlic. Because the shift sounds simple on paper. Eat differently. Feel better. But real life doesn’t happen on paper. It happens on nights when you’ve just gotten back from a road trip, your fridge is nearly empty, your grocery delivery is five hours late, and you start making decisions that feel genius in the moment. Which is exactly how we ended up here. Last night was one of those nights. Five hours.FIVE. HOURS. That’s how long we waited for our Whole Foods delivery after I’d just…
