I love putting pesto on everything from a bagel, to eggs, to pasta, pizza, etc. And since I am dairy free I needed a vegan recipe. This is amazing and it stays fresh in fridge for a couple of days.

Recently I've never been hungry for breakfast when I wake up. I'm pretty sure it's because it's been so hot outside. But because breakfast is so important, I've been trying to get myself to eat something every morning. Something really tasty and refreshing that I've been making is a vegan strawberry banana smoothie. It's just one sliced banana, a cup of frozen strawberries and half a cup of almond or soy milk. It's also a really pretty shade of pink!

There is a really great site called Obe Fitness that has a ton of classes you can take, both live and on demand. They have a variety of yoga classes as well as strength training, hiit classes, pilates, dance, ect. Each class is about a half hour long, and they also have 10 minute express classes that are great for if you just need something quick. You do have to pay but you can first get a free month to see how you like it.

A great meal that I like to make that is both easy and very delicious is Cesar Salad!  You can easily buy a pack of Romain lettuce and croutons  from Shoprite and all you have to do with that bundle is to put the two ingredients in a bowl and mix. The package already comes with a nice Cesar dressing   as well with Parmesan cheese. Now all that is left to do is pour the dressing and cheese  onto your salad and you are done!

Egg and ham on a bagel. Its a nice filling brunch meal that will help you get through the day. Its a great source of protein and I recommend eating after a nice morning workout.

I would suggest to lower the brightness on your phone fully before going to sleep. I know at night is probably when people are on their phones the most, so if you are going to be on your phone (which you should try to stay off of at least thirty minutes before falling asleep) then make sure you have either your brightness down or turn on “night shift” around 10 (you can find this in your settings under display and brightness).

# data[].attributes.body
My family and I eat a lot of Brazilian-style black beans and brown rice because not only is it delicious, but its filled with protein and the beans are very high in fiber. Though the black beans take hours (sometimes a whole day) to make, we always have lots of leftovers and one batch will last us a few days. We also often eat the beans with farinha, which is ground aipim (I'm pretty sure it's the same thing as yucca, only Brazilian) meant to soak up the liquid from the beans to give it more substance.

running is good exercise to stay fit, however going longer distance will have greater effects on the day and could lead to injury, so don't go over your limits,.   Biking can be very light and relaxed or it can be long road rides or trial and even down hill adventures and any of these can be dangerous so stay safe and wear a helmet

Especially during quarantine I know that for my family and I, it has been hard to get enough sleep and not sleep in.

If you have access to nearby trails, hiking is a great way to take your mind off of stressful topics and relax.

I would really suggest getting a journal and writing anything at the end of the day, right before you go to bed. You can literally talk about anything, as long as it’s on your mind or bothering you a little bit. It calms you down and getting your thoughts down on paper prevents them from bouncing around in your mind for hours and preventing you from sleeeping.

When I need to prepare a meal for my family I either make some sort of piadina (I don't know what it's called in english..) or pasta. the great thing about pasta is that you can put any combination of things in it (as long as it's good). Yesterday, for example, I made a variant of carbonara pasta for my brother with broccoli cream (I just put broccoli and milk in the food processor) and a bit of cheddar cheese because we didn't have ricotta. It was pretty good!
