Breakfast
2 VEGAN PANCAKES

Ingredients

1½ cups white whole-wheat flour (see Tip)
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1½ cups unsweetened almond milk or other unsweetened nondairy milk
¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions

1 Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk milk, applesauce, oil, sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients and whisk just until combined. Resist overmixing—it will make the pancakes tough.
2 Let the batter sit, without stirring, for 10 to 15 minutes. (As the batter rests, the baking powder forms bubbles that create fluffy pancakes.)
3 Coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Without stirring the batter, measure out pancakes using about ¼ cup batter per pancake and pour into the pan (or onto the griddle). Cook until the edges are dry and you see bubbles on the surface, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 4 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining batter, coating the pan with cooking spray and reducing the heat as needed.
Make-Ahead Tip: The mixture of dry ingredients can be stored airtight for up to 1 month; the batter can be refrigerated for up to 1 day; cooked pancakes can be frozen airtight, in a single layer, for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
Tip: White whole-wheat flour, made from a special variety of white wheat, is light in color and flavor but has the same nutritional properties as regular whole-wheat flour.
1/4 cup blackberries
1 Tbsp. peanut butter
Mix peanut butter with 1 tsp. warm water (or more, as needed, to thin out the peanut butter). Drizzle over pancakes.
A.M. Snack
1 medium orange

Lunch
4 cups serving Green Salad w/Edamame & Beets

1 tablespoon plus 1½ teaspoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions

1 Arrange greens, edamame and beet on a large plate. Whisk vinegar, cilantro, oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle over the salad and enjoy.
To make ahead: Refrigerate salad and dressing separately for up to 2 days; whisk dressing before drizzling over the salad.
