Overnight oatmeal is a fantastic time-saver, and this recipe is one of our favorites. The creamy base is thickened with a combination of mashed banana, chia seeds, and almond milk. The relatively simple concoction is then ready for whatever toppings you have on-hand: more banana, other fruit, homemade vegan granola, toasted nuts or seeds, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

We all have those mornings where breakfast is the last thing on our minds — the kids are sick, your inbox seems to have quadrupled in size overnight, and you can’t find a pair of clean underwear to save your life. It’s on those mornings that having vegan raw cranberry coconut bars on hand can be an absolute lifesaver. These bars are rich in protein thanks to the almonds and cashews with just the right dose of carbs from the dates, cranberries, and coconut flakes to give you that jolt of energy you need first thing in the morning — especially when it’s one of those mornings.
