Whistler Virtual Vegan Fest June 20th

June 17, 2020 By julia

First off, I hope you are all doing well amidst the firey world we’re all living in at this moment.

I have taken some time to step back from content creation (thank you to those who reached out), and continue to try my best to educate myself more on everything that is Black Lives Matter. With that, moving forward I will now be more proactive in featuring and lifting up the Black Voices in the vegan community. There are many!

That’s what the last blog post is all about.
15 Inspiring Black Vegans You Need to Follow

PLUS, places to donate and Black-Owned businesses to support.

Sending out love and compassion to all of you!

How to prep soy curls 👀 AND: the start of somethin How to prep soy curls 👀 AND: the start of something new…… posting real, raw, in the moment, NON-insta-aesthetic food content because … otherwise I just don’t post.

I’d rather actually post tips to help you eat more plants, instead of not posting at all because my lighting’s bad, or presentation isn’t great. 

🙌 SOY CURLS. 
They’re JUST THE BEST. 
High protein & delish. 

How do you prep them?

My go- to: 

(Big batch: leftovers in the fridge for wrapping, toppers, etc) 

- soak in water 10 minutes then strain

- little bit of olive oil and @bragg liquid aminos on medium heated pan 

- add soy curls (just enough of them to cover whole pan in one layer)

- Cooke 3 minutes, mix around and pan fry another 3 minutes until crispy brown edges. 

That’s it! 

How do you enjoy your soy curls? 
…
(And: Let me know if any of you else feel this way too?)

Energy. Good skin. Great digestion: All the things Energy. Good skin. Great digestion: All the things you want your pup to have so they can live life to the absolute fullest. 💛🐾

When we picked Zak up from the SPCA at 7 months, he had hot spots and itchy skin. We tried everything — every food under the sun, even home-cooked meals for a while (yes, we went full gourmet dog-parent mode 😂).

But our sensitive dude still wasn’t feeling his best… until we finally connected with Virchew — made in Vancouver, delivered right to your door in the Sea to Sky, and created by passionate animal lover, Laura.

✨ Hot spots… gone.
✨ Digestion… smooooth.
✨ Energy… he initiates the play.

Tez has been on Virchew since we rescued her in Mexico at around 8 months old. She loved it instantly and has been thriving ever since.

Now these two weirdos have mega energy, shiny coats, and happy bellies, and it feels so good knowing we’re fuelling them with goodness. 🐶💚🐶

Love that dogs can thrive on plants.  It’s a win for the environment & the other animals too. ❤️ 

Try 10 days of Virchew with their Starter Kit. The love and care Laura & the team puts into this kit is NEXT level (treats for hoomans in there too @mymatchalife)

Use ‘hookedonplants’ or the link in my bio for a discount. 

Vet approved & perfect for all doggies of the world. 

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Happy World Vegan day ❤️ 🐽 🐮 

Photo dump of animals, good food, and proof I can still do all the athletic things as a vegan (… the reason I went vegan in the first place was for the anti-inflammatory benefits after my knee surgeries… just sayin’ 🤪)

… The moment I knew I’d stay vegan was one of the first scenes in @earthlingsfilm - I looked at my dog Derby, and looked at the cow on the screen, and thought … what’s the difference? 

Then had a little cry thinking of that poor cow. 

In my next decade, I would like more animal sanctuary moments … please & thanks. 

Anyone out there have an animal sanctuary who needs me to come volunteer? I’ll belly rub (and scoop poop) for those pigs, cows & chickens all day long.
