I'm a big vitamin/supplement taker (D3, B12, Iron, Pre+probiotics, St. John's Wort, Ashwagandha, etc.) and have learned through years of trial and error amongst other tests that my body just needs these things regardless of my diet. But I will say this- I eliminated meat, eggs, and dairy cold tofu (see what I did there? 🤣) and the change in my energy levels, digestion, and even mood were almost immediate. Depression? Gone. Anxiety + Panic disorder? Outta here. Thyroid dysfunction, hormone imbalance, PMDD? Glad to see 'em go. It was like the vitamins I was already taking were finally given the chance to do what they were meant to do. After a solid month or 2 of living this vegan life, I now know without a doubt that this is the lifestyle that's right for me. ❤Today I took my supplements as always, but I also got a big whopping dose of Vitamin D from the sun as well. (Yeah, also not the sun avoiding type. The sunspots all over my face give that away. 😅) I swam with my girls and laughed my head off with them, and when we wrapped ourselves up in our towels to dry off (with some natural pineapple coconut popsicles cause #yesplease) I got a little teary eyed. A couple months ago I was in a pit-- sad, exhausted, desperate, and scared I'd never feel good again... but here I am now. Thank you, God. Just thank you. ❤

Me: I'm gonna make a steak. You want one? Husband:

Me: I'm gonna make a steak. You want one?Husband: A steak or a "steak"?? 😐🙄🤣 Dude went vegan when I did, and he's 100% down with it. But I think he'd prefer if I just called things what they are. So fine...Would you like some cast ironed-cauliflower? 😂😉

If you're not playing with your food, you're doing

If you're not playing with your food, you're doing it wrong. 😉(Inspired by my girls who both said, "Is that a rainbow?" while I was hacking away at our watermelon snack... now it is! I'm sure I could have made this prettier and cut it more smoothly, but get real. If it takes longer than 5 minutes to create, the pic ain't happening. I'd rather eat. 🤣)#plantbasednutrition #playwithyourfood #veganmama #watermeloncarving #watermelonlove 🍉

"...if you have good thoughts they will shine out

"...if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely." -Roald Dahl, The TwitsIt may not always be easy or come naturally, but controlling our thought lives is one of those necessary steps when it comes to being mentally well. My mama always said, "Good in, good out" and although it was likely said to keep me from watching trash and talking like it, too (cause... moms 🤣) she wasn't wrong. Take note of what you're consuming. If you're bombarded with negative chatter, how can you either tune it out or change the dialogue? What about the words you say to yourself? There are a lot of good thinks to think... choose wisely.😉

Yo. Heard it was #nationalicecreamday and ain't no

Yo. Heard it was #nationalicecreamday and ain't no way I'm missing such a celebration! 🤣 Now, let me just say that I'm a big fan of some of the vegan creams I've found-- @so_delicious Cashew Milk Snickerdoodle ice cream is my current fave!-- but I ate the rest of my stash the other night 😉 and didn't feel like making a stop at the store today.So here is my "compromise." A delicious homemade banana based treat with some yummy vegan vanilla protein powder and natural dye-free food coloring to pretty 'er up. Put it all in my nutribullet blender with a tiny bit of almond extract (cause that's the flavor I was craving today!) and a splash of oat milk, then gave it a good freeze for a few hours. Perfect post dinner #veganicecream treat! Granted, this does better in a bowl cause.... well, it melts quickly! But it looks cuter in a cone and this is IG soooo. 😍 I added a peach slice on top for fun, but the flavors together were delightful, so I'm thinking I'll try a peach cream next time!Swipe to see my firstborn Nadia who came downstairs dressed in the EXACT colors of our dessert without even knowing I had made it earlier in the day! How wild is that? We're always in sync. 😉
