When I was in Chicago I haaaaad to stop at @stansdonutschicago for a cinnamon sugar #vegan donut! 🍩 It was fantastically fluffy. • Besides walking around & the product development competition (see last post), I went to a food show. The show was 3 days long & I spent like 10 hours there just walking through looking at and eating products. 🤩Sooooo many samples, so I didn’t eat “real” meals Tuesday & Wednesday. Just popcorn, hummuses, tacos, nut butters, iced coffees, smoothie mixes, brownies, cake pops, vegan yogurt, kombuchas, chocolates, & who knows wtf else. Just couldn’t stop eating!! 😳 some of the products I tried are on my Instagram story profile under “IFT Chicago.” Still one of the best things I ate was this donut heh.

Chicago’s #vegan food scene is FANTASTIC 🤩🤩🤩 I would love to go back (when I have infinity money lol) & just EAT my way through the city... so many of you recommended restaurants that I wasn’t able to eat at due to distance/ timing/ price etc. BUT I did go to @nativefoodscafe & get this peanut butter banana bread mousse parfait thingy aka creamy bites of heaven. 😍 ➡️ Like look at that topping! • I spent most of my time in Chicago at the IFT food technology conference- the real reason I was in the city. 🏙 The food science collegiate product development competition I was part of with my school was 2 days long. We got 3rd of 25 teams with our product! Should I post it on here? 💫✨

My potlucked plate at a farm party this past Saturday evening! 💚 * Green salad with oil & vinegar dressing + shredded carrots + cucumbers + radish slices * Roasted carrot hummus from “Chloe Flavor” by @chefchloe (our dish to pass) * Fresh fruit including Michigan cherries (!!!!) * Balsamic watermelon basil skewers • All #vegan all #fresh all #colorful 🍒🥗🥒🍉 I got back from Chicago Wednesday night, then worked Thursday on... got out early enough Saturday to go to a “farm party” at a family friend’s backyard with my family! Everyone brought a dish to pass & socialized outside (in the unfortunately overcast weather). I thoroughly enjoyed my green feast. I’ll recap Chicago in tomorrow’s post! 🤗

Day 1 in Chicago is done! What a great day, food-wise. 🙌🙌 I stopped at @goddessbaker for an açaí bowl for breakfast (topped with coconut, granola, & berries). The place was so trendy inside, and prices definitely reflected it. 💸 I’d love to go back though as there were so many coffee & matcha drinks I wanted to try! 🍵 • Then I walked to my hotel (2.5 mi) bc I didn’t want to deal with the bus. 😂😂 After we got settled, I walked around more. I stumbled upon little branch cafe & got a soy chai latte. It was okay, but I wouldn’t go back there (not my fave vibe). ☕️ • Then I walked to Trader Joe’s & @stansdonutschicago for kombucha & a #vegan cinnamon sugar donut. It was so thick & fluffy! What a healthy lunch (NOT). 😛😅 • I had time to wander later, so I shopped around & went to @nativefoodscafe for dinner (I MUST go there when I’m in chi). I wanted to try everything on the menu but decided on the tamale waffle with jackfruit pulled pork. It came heaped with cilantro, pineapple, avocado, & cumin cream. It was incredible. I ate it all (see last picture), then ate a peanut butter mousse for dessert. 🥜 I walked it off after with a stroll to grant park then along the lakefront... aka the accidentally too scenic (& long) route back to my hotel. I ended up walking 17.51 miles today in total. #goals ? Thanks for keeping up with my day on my story, hopefully I wasn’t too annoying! 🤪

Hi friends! I’m on the train to Chicago as I post this. I can’t wait for the next few days ahead, here in this big city! Thanks so much for the recommendations on where to eat. I appreciate it! 💗💗 I’ll be at Hyatt McCormick place for the majority of the trip, so lmk if you have any more restaurant/ coffee shop/ store/ activity suggestions. ☕️ • Here’s dinner from a few nights ago, which I ate while watching the sunset. 😍 @keepinitkind sloppy joes (chickpeas, onion, tomato, etc) + carrots & hummus on a bed of greens. The perfect healthy post-work meal!

How the heck is it the weekend and almost July already!? For those in the USA- any fun 4th of July week plans? 🇺🇸 • Lately I’ve been obsessed with this tofu curry dish. Just press tofu, cut it up, and put it in the oven for like 20 min. Then sauté some cauliflower rice and veggies (shortcut: use @traderjoes cauliflower rice blend found in the frozen food section) with curry sauce of your choice. Add in the tofu & serve for a simple and spicy meal! 🤪
