January 26, 2017 By julia

Savoury

Crunchy

Creamy

These bites have it all.

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!

We’re still floating from the Plants. Dance. Love. We’re still floating from the Plants. Dance. Love. Retreat ✨ 
It was everything we dreamed it would be and then some.

We danced kitchen, in the sunshine and in the rain.
We ocean dipped.
We got playfully curious about ourselves.
We learned to trust our intuition.
We supported eachother.
We laughed.
We devoured insanely delicious whole plant foods.
We experienced breath work & a sound bath. 

👟🌱Everyone learned the foundations of plant-based eating and shuffle dancing, all in the name of reigniting their internal spark and bringing home simple ways to pump the lymphatic system and add more plants into their own day-to-day lives. 👟🌱

And the women!! 💗

…Thank you for sharing your stories, for allowing yourselves to be supported, for saying yes to you and your own joy. 

The energy we curated for the weekend truly allowed everyone to feel safe and be exactly who they are.

We’re already dreaming up the next one. 🌱

🙏Endless gratitude to the local businesses who filled our goodie bags with so much goodness:
@staywyldorganics functional mushrooms
@glowchocolates and glitter tattoos
@WildWomenFlourish Magazine
@vandalmerchshop shirts
@wearesevenclothing by @pachavega 

Special thanks to @be.love.be.free for the Intuition and Self Trust workshop and video documentation 🥰🎥

xo your hosts,

🌱Menu highlights:
Hand-rolled sushi we made together, build-your-own berry parfait bar, layered raw dessert creation, vibrant Buddha bowls, ceremonial cacao, and a plant-based sharing board to send us off.

✨Itinerary flow: 
Arrive + land. Cacao + opening circle. Shuffle workshops each day in the garden and beach. Culinary sessions in the kitchen together. Breathwork + sound healing. Human Design + self-love. Guided journaling + ocean dip. Integration + closing circle with cacao.

Part 1 (first 3 days) of our St. Ives to Penzance hike with amazing ladies! 
Vegan food, history, wild ponies & amazing views with Mama Steph 
🇬🇧 What a trip with the amazing Emma and her travel co: @veganadventureholidays!

If you’re lucky enough to have your parents on this Earth right now, book the trip. Do it. ❤️
Emma’s Vegan Adventure Holidays run all around the world, with hiking trips across Guatemala, Mexico, Colombia, Costa Rica and here in Cornwall.

Emma’s knowledge, vibe and passion for the outdoors and vegan food sets the tone beautifully. The trail convos are endlessly awesome. You can truly shut your brain off when it comes to where your next meal is coming from, and all the food did not disappoint! So much yumminess.

Also - a moment of appreciation for our local guide @exploreincornwall Steve. He knew every stone, flower, animal and piece of history there is to know. 
Some Steve highlights for you:

🌿 Years of work with the National Trust and mental health walks for firefighters, so much so that King Charles requested to sit with him over tea for an hour
🐦 Helped protect the eggs of the Chough (a nearly extinct Cornish bird) from people stealing them to sell, and the Choughs went from just a few pairs to about 50 pairs today
🌉 Built a few of the bridges along the path himself
What a guy.

I love pumping up other vegan businesses, especially when it’s something like this. 
It was so fun to experience, and so special to do with someone you love!

Enjoy the journey and the people along for the ride! 
Vegan mama and daughter stamp of approval 😍

PS: Loved our hiking buddies, Karen, a vegan vet! And Denise. Follow her here 🐾 @dowstefarmrescue
She’s rescued not 1, not 2, but 21 DOGS! What an angel.
