My first meal ended up being sour stalk soup with bean sprouts, some bell peppers, and green onions alongside a plate of more sour roots and vegan soy chicken legs with fried onions. Eh, this wasn’t my favorite meal. I did like the soy chicken, but it was really dense and almost fatty-tasting. The broth … More Day 5 in Vietnam: Herbal Medicine Clinic
Why hello there! Want to dissect my brain? Of course you don’t. That would be utterly disgusting and I would die. Let’s not do that. Jokes aside, I’m currently caffeine-high from my daily dose of chocolate in the form of chocolate Teddy Grahams, which I’ll get into later in this post, but for now, let’s … More Quick Update: Physique, Diet, and Fitness
While I adore my spicy eggplant and tofu satay, curry has always been my number one go-to order at any Thai restaurant. Until NOW. Oh Pad Thai–it just screams comfort food. Spicy, sweet, sticky, tangy, and savory comfort food. Before my health journey, I loved to inhale Pad Thai without any utensils! Unfortunately, Pad Thai is most … More Eggplant Pad Thai (healthy + vegan..with a Paleo option!)

BOY OHHHHHHHHH BOY. What. A. Day. I can already say that I probably ate the same amount of fat this day that I usually consume within a week’s span at college. See, that’s the benefit of living in college–you’re forced to stick to the healthy basic staples, you walk everywhere, you live on a budget, … More Vegan Street Fair 2017
Cocoa flakes and cinnamon crisps don’t usually compliment protein and fiber. Or do they??? Starting around the earlier portion of my fitness journey, I began developing these attachments to certain foods that I just could not stop eating. Put me in front of a table with whole grain cereal, whole grain bread, grapes, granola, hummus, … More Enlightened Broad Bean Crisps Review: Cocoa Dusted + Sweet Cinnamon
PERFECT for Pancake Sunday… Throwing it back long ago, I had the toughest time trying to find a vegan pancake recipe that wouldn’t fall apart and was high in protein. I would normally come across these lovely recipes that yielded 6-8 teeny tiny pancakes. Um, I don’t know about you, but I preferred to have … More Dorm-Friendly Vegan and Gluten Free Protein Pancakes
Not a single day has passed by with the vision of myself as a junk food vegan prior to my dietary changes. Until now. Me, the most headstrong, discipline and will-powered individual that I personally know, one who lost more than thirty pounds, survived a juice cleanse and exercises 99% of the year, became a … More Confessions of a (temporarily) Junk Food Vegan
Hi hi! Can you believe that the new year has commenced ALREADY?! I swear, if there is a concept that Alice in Wonderland wrote the most accurately, it’s Time. Otherwise, when you think that time just can’t get any slower, it quickly grows impatient and vanishes right before our eyes. For a lot of people, … More New Year’s Updates: Diet, Exercise, Blog + Lifestyle
