Mar 18, 20152 minOrganic is Orgasmic!We believe its super-duper important to always choose organic where possible. As vegans we consume way above average vegetables and fruits when compared with the omnivorous diet. You may not be aware but farmers want to get a high yield of their crops and therefore spray the vegetable and fruit crops with poisons to kill and detract any insects from eating the plants. It's a debated topic, but these pesticides are relatively new and we do not know the long-term extend of how

This is nonsense; we know plenty of people who eat meat and dairy and have an unbalanced diet and suffer the consequences; a lowered immunity and increased illness. Diets are a science; it takes a lot of pre-planning and reading up to get it right. Yet you don't have to be checking the Food Bible every mealtime to ensure that you are getting a good dose of vitam

If you want to kick start your metabolism and get the fire stoked so you burn more calories up throughout the day, you have got to eat a good, wholesome, nourishing breakfast. Our morning routine is usually pretty hectic; we aim to fit in 45 to 75 minutes of yogasana each morning plus a jog or a brisk walk, so our main staple is usually a bowl of oatmeal (porridge) with blueberries and a smothering of soygurt or coconut cream. But the choice ava

Feb 9, 20151 minNourish! Why vegan?Veganism means to refrain from any animal based ingredients; no flesh (meat or fish), no dairy, no eggs, no animal derivatives such as gelatine, animal-based E numbers etc. The most obvious benefit and the most relevant one to yogi/nis is that veganism is a cruelty-free way of life. No animal has been imprisoned, mistreated, forced to give up its natural right to freedom, stolen from its mother or killed to be served up on our plates or in our cups. Veganism is a cleaner diet
Feb 8, 20153 minNourish! What is veganism?My sister and I used to run an omnivorous restaurant. As two vegan girls it was difficult serving up meat dishes and we would forever be finding ways of enticing people into choosing vegan options unbeknownst to them!

The advantage of making a large batch is that you save time and it's more convenient than having to clean all your equipment often. Unlike juice, the
