Since going vegan keto in January there are a couple of things I've been eating a lot of. Thai curry, raw cabbage, avocado and vegan keto chia pudding.

What is the vegan keto diet? And why am I doing it?
If you'd asked me a year ago about my diet I'd have declared myself a high carb vegan. As an ethical vegan I definitely indulged in as much rice, and grains as I cared to. Honestly I still feel that for many this is a great diet. However, things changed back in December and a study led me down the path of a vegan keto diet. Initially I was skeptical, but having lived it for 3 months I figured I'd share my experience. Disclaimer: Links in this post may be affiliate links. Why did I decide to …

Best Vegan Food in London
Each time we visit London we indulge in all the good vegan food London has to offer. Trying all the things. Taking all the photos and barely ever sharing aside from a social media post that gets buried. However after the last trip, one of my friends shared that she almost texted me for recommendations. On behalf of her niece who was visiting London. She was the only vegan in the group and needed some restaurant recommendations. And thus this post was formed to share what I've found to be the …
Exploring Chicago
I have a secret. Long time readers will know this, but most probably won't. I play Pokemon Go. In fact I love Pokemon in general and have played since the very first Red and Blue games.

So with a few weeks of planning and preparation we set off to explore the Windy City of Chicago. The trip began with an unexpected upheaval when …

Review: Trader Joe’s Vegan Tikka Masala
Trader Joe's is a little treasure trove of vegan goodness. It seems like each week they have something new and exciting to try. One such gem of a staple on our grocery list is Trader Joe's Vegan Tikka Masala. As huge fans of Indian cuisine this began as a once in while meal, to a menu staple. While I don't advocate convenience foods on the regular. Wednesday night is my late night teaching yoga and when I get in late and just need SOMETHING to eat quickly. This is my go-to. So let's look …
The Yoga Diet – 25 years meat free
Having a yoga practice is much like the Matrix, only once you're on the path can you truly experience how deep the rabbit hole really goes. However you find yoga, once you embrace the practice as a lifestyle is when your spiritual journey truly begins. Living your yoga, rather than doing yoga is a very different thing. One way I live my yoga is my diet. For the last 25 years I have been meat free, which I consider to be the optimal yoga diet. What's the difference? There are so many …
