Feel Good Food: 5 Easy Recipes to Instantly Raise Your Vibration!

 
 

Hey there Soul Sisters! I’m currently writing this article with so much enthusiasm because I’m sharing one of my favorite things in the world with you: FOOD! In order to channel my best self, I fuel my body with food that is both delicious and filled with nutrients. My diet mainly consists of vegetables, fruits, and carbohydrates (I love bread and pasta). I also use cooking as a way to connect with myself and disconnect from the rest of the world. Being intentional in what I put into my body helps me to maintain my physical and mental wellness goals.  

Living in Spain, I’ve adapted to the five mealtimes of the day, instead of the three meal schedule typical of the United States. These are: 

  • Desayuno: Breakfast 

  • Almuerzo: Mid-morning Snack 

  • La Comida: Lunch 

  • Merienda: Mid-afternoon Snack 

  • La Cena: Dinner

When it comes to manifestation, food can be a powerful source of instantly raising your vibration! By loading your body with high vibrational foods, It’s an easily accessible way to practice self-love and self-care. I definitely keep that in mind when I cook!

Check out five super-satisfying recipes that I make for each mealtime of the day. Easy to make, full of high vibes, and delicious!

 
 

Desayuno: Easy Morning Oatmeal

Oatmeal is absolutely my favorite early morning breakfast food because it’s filling, easy to make, and you can customize it to your liking. Here’s how I usually make mine! 

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rolled oats 

  • 2 cups of plant-based milk (my favorite is soy)

  • 1 banana 

  • Dash of cinnamon 

  • Toppings of choice 

Instructions:

  1. Start with one cup of rolled oats and two cups of your favorite plant-based milk.

  2. Chop or mash one banana.

  3. On the stove, bring the two ingredients to a boil and stir for about 5 minutes. (For those of you in a rush, you can microwave the two together on high for about 1 minute.) 

  4. When your oatmeal has reached your desired consistency, remove from heat. 

  5. Pour into your bowl, add chopped or mashed banana, a dash of cinnamon, and your favorite toppings: I typically add chia seeds, sunflower seeds and a drizzle of honey. 

 
 

Almuerzo: Yogurt Bowl 

You can make this mid-morning snack ahead of time for the next day, or quickly in the morning before you head out to school or work. 

Ingredients:

  • Vanilla greek yogurt, or plant based yogurt of choice 

  • Blueberries 

  • Strawberries 

  • Kiwi 

  • Granola 

  • Honey

  2. Top with slices of banana, strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, and a spoonful of granola.

La Comida: Fresh Vegetable Pasta

  3. Heat skillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic. Sautee 1-2 minutes until golden. 

  4. Add chopped tomato and zucchini to skillet. Add salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Stir, then cover with lid and let cook for 10 minutes.

La Cena: Tomato and Zucchini Soup

  4. Take ½ cup of water to vegetables and 1 vegetable bouillon cube. Stir until the cube completely disintegrates. 

  5. Use an immersion blender or counter blender to blend to desired consistency. 

  6. Serve with a slice of sourdough bread.
