Move Over McDonald's, The Future Of Fast Food Is Vegan

August this year, a former Burger King restaurant in Encinitas, California, was taken over by another company which continued to serve burgers, fries and shakes via the drive-thru window. There was one major difference though: the items on the menu are all vegan.

One of the first things to go when I get out of alignment is my diet ... eating poorly or not at all. Intuitively, I know that nourishment is key to wellness. I've been slowly baby steeping my way back into the kitchen ... Today it was my turn to plan the seasonal cooking club menu. I chose to cook from @mynewroots beautiful book "Naturally Nourished." We began our meal with carrot cumin crackers to dip into beetroot & caper hummus. The main course was a harissa dressed kale salad (topped with homemade almond "feta") & one-pot kitchadi (aka kitchari), which is Ayurveda's most healing & balancing dish of mung beans, rice, spice & veggies. Dessert was banana soft serve & raw brownie bites. All #vegan, #glutenfree & lovely. #naturallynourished #vegenistaskitchen http://ift.tt/2rI5qoR

GINGER-PEAR GREEN SMOOTHIE 🥑🍌🍐🌱Recommitting to "clean" in 2017! This smoothie was inspired by @nutritionstripped. 1 cup water, 2 handfuls kale (or spinach), 1 banana, 1 pear, 1 date, 1 tbsp tahini, 1 tbsp fresh ginger, & 1 tsp of @sacredjuice "glow" powder. Blend until creamy & smooth. The last 1/2 of 2016 was a whirlwind & I let myself get completely out of balance. Taking the fresh energy of the new year & recommitting to the self care practices that I know will help me heal & thrive...clean plant-based eating, regular exercise, & daily yoga & meditation. I have big goals ahead & dreams to fulfill. Gotta get back in the game 💪🏻🙏🏻💗🌱🌟 #vegan #vegansmoothie #eatclean #greensmoothie #plantpowered #newyear2017 http://ift.tt/2iVXzR9
