Laura Verbich <3 I discovered Laura waaaay back when I first went vegan on my personal Instagram account @jgbriones. It was from her that I discovered smoothie bowls and the existence of vega protein powder (I was THAT new to all of this). Laura soon became a health coach and I have been following her amazing fitness journey as well as her teachings of self-love. She is truly doing what she was mean to do with her life, and I hope that you all will find inspiration from her as I do. Without further or do, let's meet Laura!

The holiday season is here! I decided to create a list of Healthy Vegan Holiday Gift Ideas for your vegans friends this year! These are gifts that I myself would love, and I recommend them based upon my personal experience and satisfaction with them. I hope that this list is helpful, or at least inspires some ideas in your mind for the perfect holiday gifts. Let me know what you think and also if you have any other ideas to share <3

70+ Healthy Vegan Holiday Gift Ideas 2014

A Produce Box/Basket

How to Adopt A Plant-Based Diet and Succeed

Healthy Vegan Holiday Gift Guide and Ideas 2014Fresh, local organic goodies!

  • All you need to do is purchase a cute box or basket (or recycle one/DIY) and fill it with the person's favorite produce items or produce that is seasonal in local to you, from places such as a farmer's market.
  • You can also pick out produce and put little notes on each, saying why you chose that ingredient or why it reminds you of the person.
  • Fill the box with specific ingredients and attach a recipe card for the person's favorite recipe and an "rsvp" phone number (yours) to set a date for you two to cook the recipe together.

Silly me forgot to bring my camera to the event, so get ready for some iphone photos! I will start by saying THANK YOU to Melissa's Produce! Nick at Melissa's Produce was kind enough to invite me to the Kitchen Aid Torrent Blender Launch Party they held in their Los Angeles test kitchen last Thursday! I decided I would document the night and share with you a review on the blender that is to be released next year. I will also do a review up close and personal with the blender as well, but that will be for another day :) IKitchen Aid Torrent Blender Launch Party + Melissa's ProduceI was accompanied by my beautiful friend, the one and only Yvonne Ardestani of My Eclectic Kitchen. (If you don't already have you hands on her app or ebook, you need to check them out!) And of course I had to rock my Green Juice Tote at the event as well, everyone loved it I was so flattered!

Sweet Pumpkin Chia PuddingI really thought that by the time this fall holiday season ended, I would be all pumpkin'd out, but I'm still on a pumpkin kick! I made another batch of my Pumpkin Pecan Milk and decided I would see how it would turn out as a Sweet Pumpkin Chia Pudding and oh my, this recipe is heaven in a cup. It is so light, yet it's decadent and creamy. My parents thought I was serving them some vegan junk food, and they devoured it!
