Banza Pasta
Tammie Ortlieb, Managing Editor
It’s pasta night at Tammie’s! But when quick and nutritious meals are the name of the game, Tammie is opting for Banza Pasta. Chickpea cavatappi, anyone? These fiber- and protein-packed noodles pair well with her fave vegan pasta sauces. It’s as simple as boiling a box of noodles, opening a jar of sauce, and enjoying an easy, comforting meal!

Konscious Foods Sushi Rolls
Allie Mitchell, Social Media Director & Staff Writer
When Allie needs a quick bite, she’s reaching for the Konscious Foods Sushi Rolls. This light, refreshing, and flavorful meal comes frozen, so throwing it into a lunchbox in the morning means it’s perfectly thawed by lunchtime. Find these plant-based rolls in California, Rainbow, Spicy California, and Tuna Avocado Roll varieties.

Pacific Foods Soups
Anja Grommons, Staff Writer
I love keeping Pacific Foods Soups in my pantry for an effortless and customizable meal in a snap! The creamy Garden Tomato Oat Milk Soup pairs unbelievably well with a simple vegan grilled cheese while the Carrot Ginger Oat Milk Soup is easily elevated with nourishing mix-ins. I love adding cooked tofu cubes, leftover grains, chopped veggies, and a drizzle of chili oil to these vegan soup bases.

Best Foods Vegan Mayo
Alejandra Tolley, Staff Writer
For Ale, it can’t get easier than chickpea tuna salad. First, she pulses celery, red onion, and a can of chickpeas in her food processor. Next, she mixes in some Best Foods Vegan Mayo, a spoonful of mustard, salt, and pepper to round out the dish. If you’re planning to recreate this simple meal, try it on a sandwich or tostada for a protein-rich dish!

Fillo’s Walking Tamales
Allison van Tilborgh, Staff Writer
Ok, this one is a serious VegOut staff favorite! When you think of quick meals, tamales might not come to mind, but Fillo’s Walking Tamales are here to change that. These shelf-stable packs are piping hot in 30 seconds and can be the perfect snack between meetings. Allison’s fave flavor is the Bean Salsa Habanero!

Just launched: Laughing in the Face of Chaos by Rudá Iandê
Exhausted from trying to hold it all together?
You show up. You smile. You say the right things. But under the surface, something’s tightening. Maybe you don’t want to “stay positive” anymore. Maybe you’re done pretending everything’s fine.
This book is your permission slip to stop performing. To understand chaos at its root and all of your emotional layers.
In Laughing in the Face of Chaos, Brazilian shaman Rudá Iandê brings over 30 years of deep, one-on-one work helping people untangle from the roles they’ve been stuck in—so they can return to something real. He exposes the quiet pressure to be good, be successful, be spiritual—and shows how freedom often lives on the other side of that pressure.
This isn’t a book about becoming your best self. It’s about becoming your real self.
