Today is a great day for debut book releases! In addition to our own Travel Anywhere (And Avoid Being a Tourist) , today sees the launch of Well + Good: 100 Healthy Recipes + Expert Advice for Better Living by our friends Melisse Gelula and Alexia Brue, entrepreneurs and co-founders of the essential health and wellness site Well + Good. The book is a collection recipes written by industry experts, and we especially loved this travel-friendly meal from Amanda Freeman, the fitness entrepreneur behind SLT and Stretch*d. The sweet and savory oats work as breakfast on an early flight or a healthy, energy-filled snack anytime. It can easily be made ahead to take on a plane, road trip, or any on-the-go adventure.
