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!

Women inspiring women ~ through the mag, collective events, and a podcast (coming soon). 

When brilliant women gather, something magic happens. 

Connections form.

Support feels endless, and anything feels possible. 

The ground bridging the gap between you, and through your limiting beliefs, feels more solid beneath you.

I hope my article brings some lightness and fun into your life… Along with some new perspectives and kitchen hacks to make your life easier:) 

PS: 
Like I say in the magazine, I am working on something for you.

The EAT PLANTS & DANCE COLLECTIVE 

A membership that will be the home to my flagship course called the #LightenUpMethod ✨

A 4 week reset where you will learn the foundations of shuffle, dancing, and easy ways to replace processed foods and animal foods, with whole plant foods rich in all of the nutrients you could possibly need. 

Plants to reduce inflammation & chronic disease.
Dance for lymphatic drainage and pure joy.

What a combo.

Comment or message the words ‘LIGHTEN UP’ and I’ll send you a 1 minute survey to help me help you reduce the puff and lighten up 🥰

If there’s one thing to take away from this, let i If there’s one thing to take away from this, let it be this:

🐾 Animals are sentient. They feel pain, fear, comfort, connection, and love. They are also the most vulnerable beings in our world and deserve the all love and protection we humans can offer.

Next time you’re hugging your dog, think about how lucky they are to be safe in your arms… and then ask yourself: 

Why wouldn’t all animals deserve that same love and care?

There’s no doubt that the Summit for Animals sparked more inspiration for all the 500+ attendees 🐾

🎤Big themes: 
Compassionate leadership, misleading farming practices, access to care, humane education, AI, happy donors, community impact, wildlife coexistence, photojournalism, housing for fur babies, and the future of animal welfare in Canada.

Where are my breakfast-for-dinner people at?! Tof Where are my breakfast-for-dinner people at?!

Tofu scramble for the win again.

This time I used all three tofus 👌
One each: firm, medium, and soft.
It made the best scramble texture.

How to:
	•	Sauté ½ red onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 8 chopped mushrooms, and 1 orange pepper

	•	Add 1 tbsp @shaniseasoning vegan egg spice
or: ½ tsp turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, black salt, smoked paprika + 1 tbsp nutritional yeast

	•	Crumble in 3 tofu blocks

	•	Mix together and serve with your favourite sourdough and a mega salad

	•	Top with @sriracha_ca and green onion

💪🏽 20–30 g protein on this beauty plate 🤤

POV: You’re a chef and nutritionist but, keeping u POV: You’re a chef and nutritionist but, keeping up with aesthetic, Instagram-perfect photos with all other life happenings is leading to simply… not posting much.

BUT the passion for sharing PLANT BASED, DELISH NUTRISH food ideas and tips has never left (and never will).

So… real, unpolished, unpresentable, raw posts coming your way. 

Starting with dinner inspo!
