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!

Black Rice Pilaf + Veganish Book Review & Giveaway"Eat Smart, Get Healthy and Feel Beautiful Inside & Out"

Today I am going to review for you another resource that I recommend as part of my How to Adopt A Plant-Based Diet and Succeed. What I have here today is Veganish: The Omnivores Guide To Plant-Based Cooking. This book is definitely something I wish I had had while transitioning into a plant-based diet from a standard American diet. It covers literally every aspect of plant-based cooking, both nutritionally and culinarily. It basically helps you transition with no fears, worries or temptations. It covers any and every type of recipe you may be craving, and will help you prove to yourself, and the world, that living this lifestyle is not only easy, but it is enjoyable and such a beautiful way to live.

If you have ever dreamed of having a personal chef  to provide you with not only a healthy diet, but one that is great tasting, this book will do just that. Veganish offers a holistic approach to food that will make you healthy AND satisfied. This book will be your go-to guide.

My next guest blogger contributing to my Vegan Resources! Click here to see all of the contributors and read their stories!

Today I am excited to be featuring the beautiful Ellen Fisher! I have been following Ellen since the start of my Instagram, and she has contributed so much knowledge as well as inspiration into my journey. She is a high carb, low-fat raw vegan momma of a beautiful son, Elvis, who was raised raw vegan since birth and has a new baby on the way! If you are not already following her on Instagram (which I doubt), head over to her page and give her a follow. Not only did I interview Ellen for the fact that she has been an ongoing inspiration to my vegan journey and I knew she could do the same for you, but also because she is a vegan mother, and could provide my readers with more information regarding vegan parenting and that realm of things since I am not in the position to do so. So without further or do, let's get to know Ellen Fisher <3

Guest Post: Ellen Fisher + Raw Mango GelatoThe very first question is, of course, why did you initially go vegan?
