The thought of eating your oatmeal, toast, or bagel without peanut butter might bring a tear to your eye, but before you consider transferring, consider an alternative:
If there’s no peanut butter in sight, try grabbing an avocado from the salad station and mashing it on your toast or bagel. You’ll get the texture you crave as well as healthy fats and carbs to kick-start your day.

Everything bagel (the best type of bagel) cravings are very real, so you can either make the sacrifice or head over to Food52, an awesome online store for all your foodie needs, and get yourself some Better than Everything Bagel Seasoning Blend.
Sprinkle the seasoning on bagels and avocado toast (or anything else you can imagine) to get the flavor you crave without the eggwash.

Round-the-clock sushi is one thing, but round-the-clock vegan sushi is absolutely dance-worthy.

But then someone tells you that the machine isn’t out of order, you’re just using it wrong. …Oops.

STAY STRONG.
It’s not always easy, but the vegan struggle is worth it…and at least we struggle together.
