The Low-Down on Vegan Protein Powders →
I’ve noticed that most people have no clue about the (healthier) plant-based alternatives to whey protein. Well here’s a list of them, along with brand recommendations.
We’ve used up all of the Sunwarrior powder at our house, so I’m thinking about trying hemp next time!
Have you tried any protein powders? What do you recommend?

Anonymous asked: I know I need to make changes in my diet... I have some extra body fat (I could loose about 10 lbs) and I have blemishes on my skin. I think going vegan and/or raw could help with these 2 problems. I already eat lots of fruits+veggies, but my veggies are usually cooked. And I eat cooked grains/breads which might be part of my problem. What will help most with the weight/skin problems? Going vegan...

Is your green smoothie too bitter?
Try adding lemon juice! This morning I made a smoothie with mango, peach, banana and some random greens that I got at the Farmers Market. It was disgusting, to say the least. My dad recommended adding lemon juice. I tried it and it actually took away some of the bitterness.
Next time, no mystery greens in my smoothie.

The Body-Mind Connection
“I can personally attest to the effect ‘clean living’ has on ones emotional state. The Mind-Body Connection gets a lot of press (how your emotional state can affect your physical health), but the Body-Mind Connection has more of an effect on people than you’d imagine (how your physical health affects your emotional wellbeing). Living in harmony with Nature allows you to...

Victoria Boutenko’s Guidelines to Drinking Green Smoothies
Here’s one that really stood out to me because I’ve been noticing lately that many people add peanut butter, yogurt, milk.. things like that. The smoothies taste good with fruit and greens alone, trust me!
**Edit: Exception.. I’m a fan of Sunwarrior protein powder!

socialterrorism asked: I don't know if you remember but I asked you a question about detergent months ago. I've experimented with Dr. Bronners, and I ruined one of my boyfriend's t-shirts because I put it directly on top of the clothes. If you use it, make sure you wait for the water to fill up (top loading) or put it in the little tray (front loading). And add a little baking soda -- it's...
