Bars for Days!
At home having ready-to-go healthy snacks is essential. I never know if I need to grab something for a movie, a hike, in between meals, running errands or even road trips!

NEW Temple Turmeric Flavors
/
We can sit around all day and debate why or why not honey is vegan or why I prefer coconut nectar over agave OR we all can just hold hands and dive into Temple Turmerics NEW FLAVORS!
Read MoreSpringtime Guacamole
/
Unless you're allergic, I don't understand those who don't love avocado (sorry). It's perfect!
Read MoreSunfood Sun Wrap
/
There are days when cashew cream slathered on bread sounds mighty delicious and then there are days (more often than not) where something fresh and green makes my body swoon.
In this recipe, I’m bringing together a refreshing, nutritious, DEFREAKNLIOUS green salad and a gluten-free, NON-GMO, low calorie, Sunfood Coconut Wrap that'll leave you swooning for days.
Aside from the surprising amount of flavor this wrap packs, it’s perfectly filling–leaving you pleasantly satisfied versus couch ridden.
NEW Two Moms in the Raw Products
/
Two Moms in the Raw are at it again, but this time they have altered their ingredients…FOR THE BETTER! Taking a page from the progressive book, they have taken out agave and replaced it with coconut nectar.
Coconut nectar is still processed, but it is far less processed than agave. Agave may rank low on the glycemic index making it a suitable option for diabetics, but it ranks very high in fructose content. So high in fact that it is on par with high fructose corn syrup, which is a really big no no.
Veestro Meal Delivery
/
I’ve thought about trying a meal delivery service plenty of times—I’ve always been curious, but I’ve never taken the time to seek out which delivery service would fit my dietary needs and wants.
My thoughts on the subject have always been that it seems like a great way for one to stay on track, to facility productivity and to introduce variety into ones diet. At the moment all the reasons above pertained to my current situation, which made the timing perfect to sample Veestro-a plant-based, non-gmo meal delivery service.
Koekies Cookies
/
I was informed by my lovely friend Ask Leah Renee that a NEW must-try, Klean-Slate approved cookie was making its way through the clutter and shinning superior above the rest; I knew this Cookie Monster had to try them.
Read MoreRaw Energy Balls with Re-Purposed Almond Pulp
/
These tasty bites are a perfect snack, pick me up, pre or post-workout booster and a sweet tooth craver nixer. Fancy terminology right there.
Lately, I’ve been adding more and more superfoods to my pantry instead of just running out and grabbing quick snacks all over town. I’m doing this for cost efficiency and for quality control.
Read MoreHomemade Vanilla Almond Milk
/
There is nothing quite like having fresh, raw almond milk. The pure essence of nutty, nutritious raw almonds with absolutely no additives and no processing is utterly divine.
Read MorePacific Superfood Snacks Kale Chips Review
/
Do you know Klean-Slate? I mean, do you reallly know Klean-Slate? Cause if you do, you may know my slight obsession with kale chips. Lately, my horizons have been expanding into brussels, cabbage, broccoli and pretty much anything else you can dehydrate and make into a chip. But, my heart will always lie with the pioneering kale.
Read MoreThe Springs Meetup
/
The lovely Laura (A Sunshine Mission) hosted a vegan bloggers meetup at Downtown LA’s The Springs Restaurant this past weekend and I was huymbly invited to a 7-course, chefs tasting menu on a Saturday night with a live band!
I had to think really hard about this one…YES, definitely yes!

Hot Roasted Maca Latte
/
If you are looking for a great caffeine substitute that still packs an energy punch, try adding some maca. Maca comes in a powder form and has a malty flavor. I use it in smoothies, desserts and hot drinks like the one above.
Read MoreSalad Stuffed Acorn Squash

Last night I decided to create a simple, yet very nutritious dish. I roasted an acorn squash and stuffed it with a light, refreshing salad.
Read MoreSummer Sushi Party Cooking Class with Spork Foods
/
I may have grown up in a house where my dad was a chef (definitely not a vegan one) and I do feel very naive for saying this, but I didn’t realize how much fun and engaging a cooking class could be! It’s only taken me…oh…almost 30 years!
Read MoreNot all Veggie Patties are Created Equal
/
All veggie burgers are not created equal! There are some fantastic brands out there (like Hilary’s Eat Well) that take the time to research and create higher-quality frozen veggie patties then some of the most popular brands out there, like MorningStar and Boca. I remember years ago when I first tested the veggie patty waters and I became a big MorningStar fan. It’s almost a right of vegetarian/vegan passage.

For a vegan summer potluck I was attending, I had envisioned Gluten-Free Mediterranean Greece-d Up Wraps as my contribution.
Read MoreNo Need to Derail the Momentum because it’s 4th of July Weekend
/
Who ever said, “ You can’t have your cake and eat it too” was one somber individual who never grasped the concept of a harmonious balance.
Read MoreWhy Do I Steam?
/
I work a regular 9-5 job and normally workout afterwards, so my extra time gets sucked up pretty fast during the week. One of my goals this year is to break out from my routine and spend some more weekday time in the kitchen.
