Emily von Euw has been one of the biggest inspirations to me here in the 'blogger world'. Her website,
This Rawsome Vegan Life, never ceases to disappoint. All of her recipes are accompanied with mouth watering photos, and most are raw vegan. Emily has shown me, and hopefully will show the rest of you, that veganism is not bland or complicated or unappealing as most may assume it to be, but rather, it is fun, delicious, color filled, and one of the best decisions you can make for yourself in your lifetime. Emily is so positive in her writing on her posts on both her website and
Instagram, and I always look forward to the weekly emails I receive.
So, without further or do, I introduce to you Emily von Euw.
My parents named me Emily von Euw, and I have been hanging around this planet for about 20 years plus a few months. I reside in Vancouver, Canada with my family, friends, lover and approximately 1 million other people I don't know personally.
I adore being alive. I also adore avocados. I've always defined myself as a critical thinker, and part of being a critical thinker is hyper-analyzing everything that surrounds me (which, in this modernist world, is quite a lot). Being in my brain is overwhelming much of the time but I have learned to manage being me by treating myself with respect (this includes meditating regularly, getting outdoors whenever possible, and feeding my body and mind whole, nourishing, organic foods). I think while we are here for these some odd 80 years most of us get on average, we should make those happy years. Ultimately, who really know if anything matters? So let's just have a good time while we can, and not tell other people how to live their lives.
I like to dance, laugh, eat, drink, eat some more, always learn, always try to improve myself, do anything that gives me a natural dopamine rush (all of the things just mentioned, plus sex, exercise, hiking, cuddling other animals, and looking into the eyes of people I love). I study history at university (getting my bachelors now, plan on getting my masters later) and I am also a full-time food blogger! What the heck does that mean? Well, it means I spend a lot of time making raw vegan recipes, taking food porn pictures of them, then sharing it all on the world wide web.
My mom has recently become obsessed, and I mean OBSESSED with making her own nut milk. It's a honestly the cutest thing ever and I am so grateful she is doing so because it is SO GOOD. The only problem is that with this almond milk craze comes almond pulp...what the heck do we do with it all?
Wait, what is almond pulp? It is what results from making almond milk, the by-product from making nut milk that is leftover in the nut milk bag after straining.
A flavor combo that I absolutely adore! Who knew that mint and matcha would work so well together?
After having been inspired by the Moroccan Mint Latte at Urth Caffe to make my 
After you have made your beloved nut milks, what do you do with the pulp? Make brownies, of course!
Homemade raw nut milks have been my thang recently, all thanks to 
YES, this happened.
The thought of chocolate being paired with kale kind of blew my mind. Initially, I just said why? But the pairing sparked my curiosity...I had to have it. If it involves kale, I'M IN!
If you aren't fond of kale, or if your kiddies who refuse to eat their greens, these are a great way to eat your kale! Sweet, crunchy, and rich deep dark chocolate flavor.
