Not to mention simplicity.

Some of the best creations are just a few delicious and complementary ingredients.

After some easy steps of roasting, mashing, and assembling, you’ll have a vegan appetizer that will impress even the fanciest cook.

The warmth and chewiness of the sweet potato along with the creamy guacamole and crunchy mung beans…let’s just say it’s a party in your mouth.

These are a great start to any shindig.

Benefits:

Mung bean sprouts are high in vitamin K (for healthy bone density), C (immune boosting), and folate (for healthy blood cells). All raw sprouts are total superfoods. Since they have started their growing process, they are an easily digestible, living food with more nutrients per calorie than any other food.

Sweet potatoes have been a staple in the diet of some of the longest living peoples in history (Okinawans). They have more Vitamin A than any other food, they are packed with healthy carbohydrates, antioxidants, and are stars for combatting inflammation and oxidation. Eat em’ up! I always get delicious, organic sweet potatoes from Spud to my door every Tuesday. Man, I love Tuesdays!! Use my code CRVAN-MURJUB for 20$ off your first order.

Avocados are packed with monounsaturated fatty acids. Great for the hair, skin and nails!

💾 Save this one for the rotation: 
Vegan Chicken Caesar with Sweet Potato & Caramelized Onion
🤤🤤🤤🤤

Tip time:
The secret to sticking with plants only? 
Knowing your WHY. 
This is mine.

I went plant-based a decade ago after multiple knee surgeries to calm inflammation, and stayed for the animals and the planet. As a former Olympian, holistic nutritionist and plant-based chef, my goal is simple: meals that fuel you, (each calorie counts towards making sure you’re thriving in this life), must taste amazing and don’t take all night.

This one is creamy, savoury, crispy, and packed with protein. 

💡 LIFE HACK: 
I always double or triple my recipes so I have leftovers for throw together dinners or lunches later in the week (think wraps, bowls, mega salads). So when I say 2 yams, I’m actually roasting 4 to 6! Future you will thank present you.

R E C I P E 👩‍🍳

INGREDIENTS

🌱 2 yams
🌱 2 yellow onions
🌱 2 cups soy curls
🌱 Splash of Bragg’s liquid aminos
🌱 2 heads romaine
🌱 1/2 Red onion, thinly sliced
🌱 Capers
🌱 1 avocado

Caesar Dressing
🌱 1 can cannellini beans, liquid poured out 
🌱 1 tbsp miso paste
🌱 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
🌱 1 clove garlic
🌱 1/4 cup pickle juice
🌱 Salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Slice the onion in half and trim off the tip. Poke the yams and trim the ends.
2. Place on a lined baking sheet and bake 45 minutes, flipping the yams halfway.
3. Soak soy curls in water for 10 minutes, then strain.
4. Fry in a teeeeny bit of oil with a splash of Bragg’s for about 4 minutes, stirring so they brown on all sides. A couple batches.
5. Blend all dressing ingredients until smooth.
6. Toss romaine with the dressing, then add red onion, capers and avocado.
7. Plate the salad, top with yam rounds, peel the caramelized onion into the centre, and finish with the soy curl chicken.

Save this for your next ‘omg I’m stressed and don’t know what to make for dinner’ kinda night 💚

But really, all mushrooms are magical. The benefit But really, all mushrooms are magical. The benefits are endless.

Read on to learn about the world’s first ever mushroom strip 🤯🙌

I’ve been a big fan of this company from the very beginning and even helped out during its startup. Functional mushrooms grown just down the road from me in beautiful Pemberton BC, created by a friend of mine.

I love everything Stay Wyld makes, but these pocket strips are the most convenient and fun way to take your mushrooms on the go.

Have you tried them yet?

So what’s actually in these sugar free pocket strips?

🧠 Energy LST Strip
Lion’s Mane, B12, L-Theanine, and green tea.

💪 Immunity LST Strip
2800mg of 7 functional mushrooms + vitamins, all in one little strip:
🍄 Lion’s Mane — brain power
🍄 Chaga — cellular defence (antioxidant powerhouse)
🍄 Cordyceps — energy & resilience & blood flow
🍄 Turkey Tail — gut + immunity
🍄 Maitake — metabolic support
🍄 Reishi — stress & immune balance
🍄 Shiitake — immune-active compounds
