How cool would it be for vegetarians and vegans to have access to a meatless fast-food restaurant? What if we could order items that are similar to those at McDonalds, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, but in a totally meatless fashion? Such a dream has arrived! Amy’s Kitchen is set to open an all-veggie drive thru in Rohnert Park, California this July.
As customers ask for whole foods options that are free of junk, more restaurants are stepping up to meet the demand with quality food. Chipotle, one of my favorite places to get a quick bite, is leading the pack here. A couple of months ago, the company announced it would no longer serve foods made with GMOs. Now, the Mexican food chain is testing a new, all-natural tortilla that contains only four ingredients!
Vegan Cuts, the cruelty-free company that sells vegan goodies and offers monthly snack and beauty box subscriptions, has come out with a brand new box. Their one-time Cheese and Meat Box is packed with cruelty-free “cheesy” & “meaty” essentials that will have any omnivore coming back for more than one bite!
I have some good news for fellow chocoholics — the company that I’m a Brand Ambassador for, ALOHA, just released a new Superfood Chocolate Collection in several cool flavors! This chocolate bar tastes great and contains HUNDREDS of nutrients from superfood greens.
A few months ago, I wrote a post about how much I loved my Vegan Cuts Snack Box subscription. I have been a subscriber for more than a year, and along the way, I have discovered new favorite snacks that make it easy to maintain a plant-based diet. Now, since I recently became a Brand Ambassador for Vegan Cuts, I thought I’d share what’s inside my monthly boxes.

What did you love to eat as a child? Growing up in the 90s, I enjoyed the standard American fare as many others did, like meat, dairy, packaged snacks and heat-and-eat foods from a box. As I got older and changed my diet, I gave up some of the more popular convenience food brands. Fortunately, many of my old favorites, likes chips, cheese, bacon, cupcakes and toaster pastries, have now been re-imagined, plant-based style. Many of them are available at your nearest grocery store. Oh how the times have changed!
Here are some favorite foods from childhood that have now been re-imagined, vegan style.
I love almonds, but after drinking almond milk almost daily for a year, as well as eating raw almonds and using face products that contained almond oil, I noticed allergic reactions on my skin. It turns out that almonds and other tree nuts are some of the top offenders on the allergy chart. Luckily, I received two samples of Living Harvest Tempt Coconut Hemp Milk and found some new favorite milk as a replacement!
Dried fruit is one of my go-to treats because it’s convenient to store in my purse and can be a healthy snack throughout the day. Since dried fruit is one of my favorite snacks, I was happy to try it in a new way with The Funky Monkey Freeze-Dried Fruit.
March 4-8 marked the 2015 Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, California. I wish I could have gone to this event, but because I wasn’t there in person, of course I’ve been following the expo news on social media. From what I’ve seen, it looks like this is a great year for vegan food.
