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!

🌱 Nutrient bomb: Broccoli sprouts can pack 20–50x more cancer fighting sulforaphane than ‘normal’  broccoli 🥦 (that’s the compound linked to cancer prevention and detox support)

🌱 Tiny vitamin factory: Sprouting can increase vitamin C content by up to 600%, making them a natural immunity booster.

🌱 When you sprout a seed, you flip the switch from storage to growth: 💥 nutrients awaken, enzymes multiply, and the plant’s whole energy is unleashed.

Randomness in life. Diversity on the plate. And ye Randomness in life. Diversity on the plate. And yes—dance breaks. All equally essential.

The more your plate looks like a rainbow, the better. 🌈

What’s the last random plant you ate?

Every time you bring a new fruit, veggie, grain, legume, tuber, seed, or nut to the table, your microbes throw a little party.

Keep it fresh, keep it varied, throw a plant party for your biome—and let those microbes flourish & help you thrive.

✨ Just 5 power players makes it potent :
🥦 Broccoli sprouts = sulforaphane cancer fighting superstar
🌱 Barley grass = chlorophyll-rich, alkalizing + immunity booster 
🌊 Spirulina = max protein + B vitamins
🌿 Moringa = antioxidants + minerals
🥬 Spinach = fibre + iron

So potent because it’s only the good stuff and lots of each → no fillers, just max nutrition.

Add it to anything: smoothies, oats, coffee, pancakes, nut butter, even plain water.
