Homemade Almond Milk


Charissa from Colourful Palate writes us, "One of the biggest switches I have done is swapping out dairy/cow's milk for homemade milk. That alone is not only healthier, but it has decreased my calories a great deal. Here is the link to a post I did about How to Make Almond Milk."

Rice and Beans Plate


"My name is Sarah and I am a gluten-free vegan. I have two blogs: VaVaVegan, which is my daily blog, and This Is What I Eat, which is a photo journal of delicious vegan food that I eat and make for others. Recently I've been really focusing on living a whole foods-based lifestyle, enjoying clean, nutritious foods that fuel me for whatever activities I'm doing (which include running, training with my trainer and even just working long days on my feet). I want to show people that vegan food is not only delicious, but can provide a well-balanced and nutrition-packed diet.

"The photo I wanted to submit is a Rice and Beans plate I've been enjoying regularly lately. It is 1/2 cup cooked rice, 1/2 cup cooked kidney beans, a handful of spinach, a handful of steamed broccoli topped with a half of an avocado. It looks beautiful and tastes as good as it looks!"

Butternut Squash Lasagna


Butternut Squash Lasagna -- a healthy "lasagna" made from layers of butternut squash! This dish was inspired by a recipe my sister-in-law sent me from her local newspaper. I made it nutritarian and vegan by leaving out the oil, salt, and cheese.

Tofu and Sprouted Mung Meatballs

Meirav writes, "I was challenged to make something vegan other than edamame (that's what my friend thought vegans eat...) for a party, so I made these baked Tofu and Sprouted Mung Meatballs from tofu, sprouted mung beans and steamed carrots and peas. They turned out spicy and lovely, filling and healthy!"
