Granola Bars (makes 32!)
*adapted from oh she glows feel good hearty granola bars
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1 banana
- 1 cup nut butter (I do a pb-cashew mix)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 2/3 cup pepitas
- 1/2 cup hemp seeds
- 1/2 cup flour
1. Set oven to 325F. Spread out oats and almonds on a large baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes, turning once.
2. Once the oats are done, set the oven to 350F and line a 9x13 dish with parchment paper.
3. Mash up the banana in a large bowl. Add the but butter, syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt and mix well (microwave the nut butter first if it's very stiff).
4. Add the toasted oats and almonds, along with the remaining nuts and seeds (walnut, pepita, sunflower, hemp) and flour. Mix well.
5. Press the granola into the pan. This should take several minutes to get it as flat and even as you can.
6. Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan, then cut into squares. Store in the fridge.

Me taking notes for my own 30 y.o. lunch 👀
Same!
Same lol
It is very unfortunate, what happened to extremely pale Swayze!
She was such a nice and smart girl, when she was 100% raw vegan.
But then she lost her mind, and now she wastes her life and abuses her children, by feeding them cooked food.
Imagine still eating animal products in 2024!

Please bring back your What I Eats!!! You help give my family inspiration!!
Yes I love thoseee

Right? Got me contemplating the forms

We love baked cauliflower with bagel seasoning or cheese powder (theater popcorn seasoning). We're not a vegan family, but veggies are definitely not skipped in our house.
this is so sweet to me, its amazing that you actually listen to what your kids like while also paying attention to their nutrition. I wish my parents did this for me when I was growing up!

Thank you for telling us how you made the granola bar. Thank you also for sharing your kids’ meals. True inspiration for an adult too! 🙏💛🌷
I'm jealous of these kids' lunches, lol. ❤
So refreshing to see normal simple lunchboxes without animal-shsped everything screaming mom-shame to every mom not willing or able to turn their lunchboxes jnto daily artworks🙈🙈🙈
Love your "lifestyle" type videos like this they are so calming to me for some reason lol
Im using this to help me make lunches for myself!

My 6 year old is very particular about having a fruit container separate so thats what we do. Lunch box has the main lunch, usually a *dairy*, a snack or two, and maybe some fruit or veg, then the fruit container has another fruit or two. Or a fruit salad
In Europe the Alpro Growing Up drink 1-3+ (soy milk) is fortified with iodine. It is one of my favourite soy milks here.
Added sugar tho, 2.5 gr sugar per 100 gr..
@@bearclaire I wouldn’t call 2.5 g of sugar per 100ml a sugary drink - that’s nowhere near soda. Also it depends if you are sugar phobic 🙃

A favourite in our house is chickpea salad sandwiches
I was using a tofu press for like 8 years then it broke and I just pressed the tofu right before I cook it, basically just giving it CPR with another dish and I think it comes out tasting better and the texture is fluffier. You do have to fry it at a higher temperature because the water cools down the oil pretty quick but that makes it even crispier. My tofu press broke like months ago and decided not to bother replacing it.
God its just mind blowing that oldest child is 7. And that tiny baby is now a toddler, and toddler is now just the forgotten middle child 😂
And again, love that you dont cut up the sandwich, i dont know it makes me laugh xx
I know! I remember when Oldest Kid was still bakin' and now they're in elementary school - time really flies! And I feel old as hell! haha
I know right? I remember the pregnancy announcement, I have whiplash 😂

In the UK Tesco Almond milk is fortified with Iodine 😊
Exactly! Same for alpro for children (with a giraffe on the box)
can I have a packed lunch too mommy🤩🤩
😳😏
@@UnnaturalVeganinteresting choice of emojis…
😅😭😳
foul!

Love this kind of video now and then! You guys have great advice for normal people. (As in not Earth Mama or whoever that was who was feeding their kids based on harmonic vibrations or some shite.)
Regarding the morning rush, my stepmom taught me how to make my lunch & that was one of my (casually overseen) chores starting in first grade.
I needed this video! I have an almost 4 year old and I've been running out of ideas lately.
Love. Thank you!
I love when you post videos!!
This was so useful!
Yay for more ideas!
I'm gonna have to try out these baked tofu recipes. Looks good!
I love all of the grocery outlet items! I shop sooo much at grocery outlet, especially for vegan or vegetarian food!
I'm a fully grown adult and this just inspired me to not skip lunch lol

I've been using a Nova Scotia Oatcake Recipe for Chewie bars modifying it slightly to make actually chewie bars & kiddo loves them. I do vanilla and sunbutter. They're not the most healthy but sometimes we just need carb pick me up.
Ooh these sound great! Mind sharing specifics on the modifications? We’re a chewy bar texture kinda family!
@@bumper21 I use canola oil instead of butter and bake them 3-4 minutes less so they're still done but not crunchy.
If you let tofu freeze and then thaw it dries out so much better than with a press. It’s insane. I saw it in another TH-cam channel. You can do it right in the container it comes in. Just takes a couple of days of thoughtlessly moving it from to the freezer and then back to the fridge.
I don't love the texture of frozen tofu. I think she might have said something similar
I can see that. I wouldn’t want it every time. I would not be surprised since she can be picky but I only watch her every now and I again so I didn’t see that. @@supernova622
For European viewers: The yumbox looks almost the same and has the same functions. It comes in different sizes and designs. Not dishwasher-safe though.
I totally just sent your video to my friend who is trying to get more protein into her kiddo who doesn’t like meat very much. ❤❤ thank you for your videos.
I’ve seen a lot of videos of lunch for kids from American parents. Almost everyone gives their kid a treat in the lunchbox. Usually chips or candy. It looks so weird to me. Are your kids also eating these treats at home everyday? Usually these things are reserved for the weekends where I’m from.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s completely fine but in Denmark a lot of schools have rules on no sweets etc.
Yes, in America, many (if not most) children get treats everyday, multiple times a day. I am a registered dietitian, and I have lost count of the amount of parents that feed their children sweets for breakfast, sweets for snacks and treats after lunch and dinner and don’t get why they struggle with weight and dental issues. Sad state of affairs!
It's very common. As a teacher, I used to see many kids come to school with multiple sweets and treats in their lunch. I usually don't pack a dessert or packaged snack in my kids lunches...maybe about once a month as a nice surprise.
Lunch has been hard for us, and my son tends to eat almost the same thing daily. He has sensory issues and will not even try sandwiches or wraps. On top of that, they get a very short amount of time to eat! Thankfully he can have nuts in his lunch though, that really does help!
Does he not like bread due to it being soft and not having any crunch? Maybe you could try rye crispbread crackers
The funny thing is that I'm watching this to get ideas for my lunches
I don't have kids, but these are good ideas for my lunches for the office. 😊
about the soy milk. My daughter loves the alpro growing up soy drink which does contain Iodine other then iron, calcium, etc.
Seems like Nora is your favorite vegan chef too ❤
11:35 Thank you for the recipe!
Wow I remember when you were pregnant with your first kid :') years go by so fast
Omg envy apples!! 🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🤤🤤🤤🤤
great video!
Cool.
Kid trying to get two sandwiches 😂 would totally try that too
I would have been SO happy to receive this as a kid.
Quick question, not sure if you discussed this ever but would you let your kid, when they’re of age decide to eat meat or forgo the vegan lifestyle?
How would you have that convo if so?
Adore you always.
Nice
Running out of ideas. This is appreciated.
I wonder what they look like and how they're growing.
How do you keep the food cold in the lunchbox? Or do they have a fridge at school?
Do they have snacks or is that all thet carry to school for the day? Just wondering. On another topic, you should watch Simnett Nutrition lastest video titled High Protein Vegan Foods Tier List (BEST & WORST SOURCES). I learned quinoa and peanut butter are not that interesting sources of protein and now I need to buy vital wheat gluten and try to make some seitan lol
We finally got a Grocery Outlet here in Las Vegas a few months ago. But unfortunately it's too far away from me and I don't drive. It's not not worth dragging my ass on the bus. Which is too bad because I like the Gross Out.
Sara Lee Whole Wheat is the best!
We are huge apple fans here...Try ruby frost sometime. I get them here in MA at BJs
crazy to me what americans call lunch lmao
The Walmart brand of veggie straws is so much better...since they dont taste so strong of veggies 😂
I don't think that other child is eating two sandwiches; they probably have a brisk trading racket going in the lunchroom. These are great sample menus for vegan kids, and I therefore expect a totally fact-free savaging from the Vegan Deterioration channel about this video, LOL! Thanks for posting 🙂
Would love a reaction vid to Simnett Nutrition's last video -- ranking vegan protein sources! He had some really good info!
Does anyone know which “chicken” tenders she used in there?? They look SO good! 😊 I don’t think she mentioned in this video, maybe in another??
Somewhat random video request, but would you consider talking about David Sinclair (scientist) and his approach to diet/health - he is mostly vegan, takes very specific supplements, and follows small eating windows for the supposed anti-aging or longevity benefits.
Just curious, do you give your kids the option to be vegan or no? No judgement! Thanks for sharing, not gonna lie, I'm using this as inspo for my own lunches lol!
Hello. Could you make a video about how to eat more protein without using powders? They are not affordable where I live and I'm struggling to eat more than 60 grams of protein on days where I try to include eggs, beans, nuts, seeds, meat and cheese. (Sorry, I am not vegan, it is not affordable where I live either), but what do you suggest eating to get enough protein? The problem I have is that the foods high in protein are also high in fat which would force me to eat way too many calories.
Seitan is probably your best bet. You can make it yourself using regular wheat flour using the flour washing method (many tutorials on youtube). Macro-wise it's mostly protein with a small amount of carbs and almost no fat.
I have one question, i work in a preshcool that is infants-kinder. KIDS ALWAYS share their lunch and even when they don't share other kids will try to eat the food of others. And i can tell you as a teacher it is hard to stop kids from eating another kids lunch. So how do you feel about the idea that your kid might be eating non vegan food,from possibly eating other kids foods?
(Personaly as a vegetarian) If i had a kid i wouldnt get too upset at what they eat at school but i would definitely enforce and promote a plant based dite (with the occasional egg and dairy).
She's talked about that in another video of hers: She isn't *forcing* her kids to be vegan, but her kids have grown up with the understanding that for non-vegan foods animals have to suffer or die, which is why they with their not-yet-suppressed-by-the-world empathy choose to eat vegan food. Now it's possible that in school they don't ask other students first what their food contains, but there's trust in the kids to just be responsible for their own integrity.
@@insu_na ya I know,I meant more like what her reaction be if her kids do end up eating animal products at school?
I don't think having your kids eat a certain way is "forcing".
@@Kitty4u I don't think there would be much of a reaction, but I'm not her so I can't say for certain. From what she's said before she just tries to instill a good moral compass in her kids and if they decide to go outside of that that's their decision. She's already said she will not be buying any non-vegan food for them, which I think is good, but she's probably not gonna be a helicopter mom about it either.
In short: I'll think she'll be disappointed, but won't scold, tho she may explain again why she doesn't agree with that decision.
As far as I can tell she treats her kids with respect and not as decoration that are her property, and respecting someone making some poor decisions occasionally is just part of that.
It is very unfortunate, what happened to extremely pale Swayze!

6:20 so partner is now husband 👀
She’s said that before 😊
Woo for Seinfeld reruns!
Not sure if I missed it, or you didnt speak about it, but how did you come to the decision to homeschool just for kinder? We have been considering it but run into so many people who are "all or nothing" so cool to find someone else lol!
I believe they asked the kid and the kid wanted to try public school for first grade.
may have been due to covid, since that was 3ish years ago :(
Will you link the bento box?
Looks like there are two kinds.
This was great. Can you do for yourself and your partner, please.
Damn this beats my chalky protein cookie lunches...
You normally refer to "Partner" but this is the first video where you once referred to "Husband" earlier in the video but "Partner" for the rest of the video. None of my business but I'm curious so I'm just going to ask. Are you married?
She has a video about her partner’s proposal and refers to him as her husband in the info page of the channel, so yes.
Thanks I missed that. The trouble with having too many YT subscriptions now, I miss so much pertinent info @@veganforthem76
Have you considered putting the chocolate chips ON the peanut butter sandwiches? That’s what we did in my family and I still love and prefer it that way to this day
please post granola recipe
It's in the description on the video now 😁
I live next to Portland ( basically the vegan capital) and I can’t for the life of me find vegan marshmallows, what store sells them?
I've found them at new seasons and natural grocers
Ohh no! Your one of those! "My 20 month old" 😂😂😂 Cant stand parents that say "oh my son is 36 months old" Like NO MAM your son is THREE YEARS OLD! 😂😂😂 ❤❤❤
What do you think about vegan KETO?
She has a playlist on her channel about vegan keto and when she tried it
I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME ABOUT THE HIPPEAS!!! They changed something… I can’t eat them anymore. They are not as good. They are greasy and sour now. 😢
I just got inspired for my own lunch. And im in my 30s
instead of putting a fork in the boxes, how about a toothpick? A single tooth pick should fit and would be good for picking out a few pieces of fruit.
It would work, but it would be better to use a mini bamboo fork to reduce risk of choking. A 7-year old is smart enough to know how to use utensils, but I remember still doing a lot of stupid things in the first grade 😂
🎉❤
Little surprised you pack pb&j. I work in childcare, infants-kinder, peanuts are not allowed!! Only sunbutter. (I think almonds are okay at this center but previous centers I worked at no nuts at all!)
peanuts are generally not allowed because of them being a choking hazard, but nut butters don't have the whole nuts, they are blended, and if it's because of alergy concerns, new studies show alergens should be introduced before the age of one, in Holland for example they advised my sister in law to introduce peanut butter in like the first days when the child is given solids😅 but I've seen recomandations vary between countries even here in Europe, sometimes can be confusing
In Australia we not allowed to pack any nuts in any school for kids lunch
Which state or territory are you in? I just looked up Queensland policy and schools can't ban any food from being brought to school. They can however make an unenforceable request to parents not to pack whatever foods.
@@annoyedaussie3942 QLD
@@MoistVegan well you seem to have been misled by your child's school. I am going to think about it a bit and provide some ideas of how you can improve the situation. A paranoid selective omnivore objections policy is ridiculous.
When you say we do you mean at the tuckshop or from home?
It is very unfortunate, what happened to extremely pale Swayze!

Idk man, I can't stand other peanut butters other than the simple, natural ones, idk if it's my country that has shitty ones but the sugary ones I tried went in the trash... the creamyness of the natural peanut butter is just 🔝 for my taste buds and with sugar from jams or honey are just from another world 😵💫 love how your kiddo's lunches look. wish i could make thise healthier choices for myself like that, cuz it seems in my head "healthy" is only reserved for my kids and i can deal with what scraps i get lol 😅
My 13 year old has hated apples for years and loved bananas….recently she hates bananas and loves apples. I’m always confused…..
Sharing is dangerous because your child probably doesn't know whether his or her friend has any food allergies or not.
Look up where orchids get their name
Must be nice to not have a nut allergy 😢
Peanut butter? In my kid school peanuts are banned
I'm on your 7yo's side when it comes to clementines/oranges , lol I never cared much for them
they/them? one kid is plural?
Did you forget the disclaimer about you not being a nutritionist this time? 😂
I'm sorry, but these might not be healthy for a kid that's growing up. I think they should get the appropriate nutrients that they need from natural meats. But eitherway as someone who has GERD problems I will try these delicious meal ideas hehe~
God bless you and your family sending loves ^^
i think all nutrients and amino acids are in vegan foods
Hopefully the kid tries some real cheese from their friends
Why are all these meals lookin so boring 😂
did you give your children a choice to be vegan or not? if not, then that's child abuse
No it’s not 🩵
I love ❤️ you But I hope 1 day you go carnivore. If not for your health do it for the environment. 9:17
You should show your kid ! Is he in good health ? Tall or small ? Good teeth or not ? pale or not ? Are they growing normally ? etc. B12 supplements for kids it is not normal ! There are deficiencies !
You’re a creep.
That's literally none of your business. Height and complexion are mostly genetics so I'm not sure why you're even bringing that up. Most parents are supplementing their kids anyways, vegan or not.
Imagine demanding a stranger parade their child on the Internet for public scrutiny
B12 supplements for vegans are perfectly normal. She doesn't need to share her children at all but she did say they get regular doctor check-ups and are just regular healthy kids. I remember her recently posting about their dental appointments and again - no major issues.
@@JudyCZ Doc Graham too doesn't show his daughter, I think that it is a mistake for a coach. Because this would prove his ideaes are good. If the child is not healthy or just an average child, it is the proof that the diet is not good. Not curiosity just logic. Ellen Fisher shows her children. It is a good point.
Do you believe in God? The creator God. Well, he made clean and unclean animals for us to eat. You’re not suppose to feel bad for the cow. You’re suppose to eat the cow. It’s literally food for us.
interesting... which animals are considered unclean, according to your religion? and what makes them so?
I feel bad for the cow because I know from evidence and experience that cows feel emotions. The exactly same reason I feel bad for other humans that suffer.
A god, that said we shouldn't feel bad for a cow, would either be cruel, test your morality, or does not exist.
Read the book Dominion by Matthew Scully for a Christian perspective on animal rights
@tomikamurry659 did you not read the Nekronomikon? *You* are cattle raised to be eaten by me and the Old Ones.
that's a very delusional and narcissistic mindset.
