Lets face it: this summer, most of us will be sulking around the house, eating junky foods. Don't worry. We all do it. But, if you're in the mood for yummy, healthy foods and smoothies, than this article is the one for you! NOTE TO READER: all of these recipies are relatively easy, and also Vegan (due to the fact that I am a vegan myself) Although a vast majority of these will be Vegan recipies, I will try to include as many normal recipies as possible. Most of these recipies I found on the internet or have created myself.

First things First: A healthy breakfast

What you need:

1) a mixing bowl

2) 2 ripe bananas

3) 1 cup of regular (or your prefered flavor of) oatmeal

4) Extra Flavoring (Cinnamon, sugar, ect.)

5) Pam

6) Cooking Pan/ Tray

Steps:

Mix your two ripe bananas and a cup (or more) of oatmeal in your mixing bowl. * Once nice and mixed, simply take small, bitesized chunks of your mixture, and lay it onto your tray after having been sprayed with Pam. * Let cook for 10-15 minutes until nice and warm and chewy, then enjoy!

Review: This recipie is so amazing, it hurts! It is healthy and so delicious I could eat it nearly every morning. This is great with a cup of orange juice.

Review:

This can take some time in the morning, so if you typically run late, I'd suggest making this the night before. But if you're like me this summer and have no where to be, then you can make this whenever you want. It is definitely worth the effort.

-Peanut Butter Protein Shake (Not Vegan)

The Protein Powder is not optional, and is an important part of this recipe. Mix PB (desired amount, prob. 2 scoops) 2 tablespoons of protein powder, and a cup-3 cups of milk. Blend until smooth and shakey.
