Tropical Mango Banana Acai Bowl

Relevance: 4%      Posted on: May 8, 2013

I have another delicious acai bowl recipe for you with mango and banana. This one is similar to my Acai Banana Berry Bowl Recipe , but it's perfect for summer with this tropical twist. Basically you can top your acai bowl with anything you want, but I know some of you have never had one before and are unsure how to make them at home. Acai is usually sold in a frozen puree for use in smoothies, acai bowls and frozen desserts. You can also buy acai juice, powder and supplements, but I stick with the puree because it's delicious and…

I know this is a topic some of you have been waiting for me to cover for a long time. And I have to say I'm sorry for not doing it sooner! I have pretty much all the kitchen gadgets I need (and then some!) by this point so it's definitely time I share this with you. I've made two parts, one for kitchen appliances and one for gadgets and list them in order of most used and loved. And yes I do love some of my kitchen appliances because they make my job SO much easier. And who doesn't…

Relevance: 4%      Posted on: July 18, 2013

I previously sent out an article on my Top 12 Must Have Small Kitchen Appliances and I promised to do a part 2 but focus on kitchen gadgets/tools you use without electricity. I've ordered these by most to least used for convenience for you and included my top picks from my kitchen for my most frequent recipes. I will probably make a list for my raw food appliances and gadgets later on too as that's got some other essential tools for those that predominantly eat salads and non cooked foods. So are you ready to see my list? Yes? Read on!…

How To Make Your Own Raw Almond Milk in a Vitamix

Relevance: 4%      Posted on: September 14, 2014

Almond milk is something that many people use nowadays, whether they are vegan or have dairy allergies. Sure you can buy some (non raw) almond milk at the store for your smoothies or cooking, but there's likely going to be sugar, preservatives and other additives and synthetic stuff in it as well. While it is convenient to use pre made almond milk, it's not a good idea to base your whole diet on processed packaged foods. It's very easy to make at home, and most cost effective if you enjoy using almond pulp in recipes like raw bars, cookies, crackers,…

Relevance: 4%      Posted on: April 26, 2012

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've enjoyed your week so far. I know I have. I'm still in Kauai for a few more days and have been doing some kayaking, hiking, and snorkelling and taking lots of photos. If you're curious to see what it's like on Kauai (the oldest Hawaiian island) check out my Kauai Travel Pics post. It's the end of their rainy season here so we've been getting a little bit of rain but nothing like what they get in the winter time. It's about 82-84 F (27-29 C) a day here so it's quite nice! We've…

Relevance: 4%      Posted on: July 2, 2012

Eating a whole foods plant based diet doesn't have to be hard or time consuming.  It can be very cheap, quick and satisfying, but you need to be able to design a meal that will at least give you enough calories and be enjoyable to eat to succeed in the long term. Dr. John McDougall has come out with a new book in 2012 called The Starch Solution: Eat the Foods You Love, Regain Your Health, and Lose the Weight for Good! and he talks about why starch is the best food to base a healthy plant based diet on.

Eating Plant-Based, Vegan and Vegetarian in Miami, Florida

Relevance: 3%      Posted on: June 16, 2013

Eating Plant-Based, Vegan and Vegetarian in Miami and Southern Florida by Veronica Grace Back In April 2010 I spent 10 lovely days in Miami, Florida. What a treat it was to have a little mini vacation from my “tropical paradise” I was living in at the time in Costa Rica. I have to say it was a little shocking though to go from a tropical third world town to a subtropical first world mega city! Suddenly certain frustrations like poor internet reception, poor road quality, lack of sidewalks and pedestrian crossings were a thing of the past. For my first…

Eating Plant-Based, Vegan and Vegetarian in Banff, Canada

Relevance: 3%      Posted on: June 14, 2013

Eating Plant-Based, Vegan and Vegetarian in Banff, Canada by Veronica Grace (originally written in 2010 for an old blog) The mountain town of Banff, Canada is one of my all-time favorite places to visit (and get a delicious vegan meal). The Rocky Mountains surround you from every side, the smell of crisp mountain air and the abundance of the glacier lakes and rivers give rich green landscapes as far as the eye can see. Growing up in nearby Calgary, my family and I would often take trips to Banff during the winter and summer for things like camping, Christmas shopping,…
