Captain Rico’s Idea Lists

Specific products I personally use — curated baskets for everyday WFPB cooking.

🥘 WFPB Pantry Staples – Dry Beans

Every legume worth keeping in the pantry, dried for stove or pressure cooker. They have a long shelf life and are easy to prepare, just follow the soak overnight instructions then cook them the next day to have the best tasting beans. Preparation and cooking take a little time but well worth it, especially when you eat the quantity of beans I do.

🥣 Captain Rico’s Daily Breakfast Stack

This is the exact cereal combo I eat almost every morning. It’s simple, filling, whole food plant-based, and keeps me going whether I’m out on the bay, editing videos, livestreaming, or working on new recipes. I mix the cereals about 50/50, slice a banana on top and add the milk. Easy Peasy The mix combines sprouted grain cereal, shredded wheat, banana, and unsweetened almond milk for a high-fiber breakfast with great texture and natural sweetness without needing added oils or heavily processed ingredients.

🥪 My favorite PBJ – WFPB style with Chia Smash and Natural PB

I love a good PBJ and always trying to eat a little healthier. This Peanut Butter and Chia spread combo has been my go to for years. The peanut butter is a little work, it requires stirring and that's a tough job sometimes. It does make it worth it knowing that what I'm putting into my body isn't full of any extras. Dave's Killer is the only bread I'll eat and these thin slices are just enough. I use the Chia Smash singles when I'm traveling, there a perfect fit.

🎒 My WFPB snacklebox – nuts and bars for eating on the run

This is WFPB survival kit, lol. Might be salt in the pistachios and edamame so not pure WFPB, but this is what i snack on. I guess my cheats are my cheats. When i first started WFPB, t was a struggle to find snacks i loved and could eat on the go. Now my pantry is stocked with grab and goes. Whether i'm running errands for the day, or traveling across the country, i always have these snacks on hand. Don't leave home without them! I also don't feel guilty when i offer them to anyone whose hungry, knowing i gave them a little WFPB goodness. I love to share my wonderful snack collection.
