Below I have shared with you celebration and/or present ideas either for your birthday or for that of a loved on in your life. I hope I inspire you in any which way I can to consider this lifestyle and to choose H E A L T H everyday. A Healthy Vegan 21st Birthday Celebration: Raw Apple 'Oatmeal' and Banana Nice CreamI started my birthday with a beautiful bowl of {raw} fig newton apple cinnamon 'oatmeal' with cinnamon vanilla nice cream + a few gifts I received in the mail. It was just like eating dessert for breakfast, but completely guilt-free! All you have to do is pulse apples, figs, dates and spices in a food processor until a desired consistency is reached, then top it with banana ice cream spiced up with cinnamon and vanilla extract.

Raw Vegan Fruit Beer Ice Cream Floats! Root Beer and Coca Cola ice cream floats were where it was at when growing up. I used to attend a day care program after school and we had ice cream floats almost every Friday. I used to think it was the best thing ever...until I had this. Having had learned of the {horrible} effects soda could have on our bodies, I vowed to never again have one. But, when they are served around me, I can't lie...I do tend to miss the floats quite a bit! Especially because I start to reminisce on my childhood. So in order to fullfill these cravings, what is there to do? What there always is to do in cases like this, veganize it. That term has been frequent for the past 3 years of my life, and forever will be. I love being able to veganize old favorites of mine. Not only do I have fun experimenting in the kitchen, but I love sharing my recipes with my family in hopes of bringing them one step closer to considering a plant-based diet. Without further or do, I present to you my RAW and VEGAN Fruit Beer Float xx

Raw Chocolate & Coconut Vanilla Ice CreamI can never get over how creamy and dreamy banana 'nice' cream is. Its seriously so much better than any of that Dreyer's I used to eat (rock hard sometimes) as a kid. I love to use this dish to encourage people to consider veganism, or simply increasing the amount of plant-foods into their diet. Banana nice cream has never been a miss in my kitchen, and I encourage you to try it for this reason! Make it for yourself or make it for you to share with a loved one (you'll have to make 2 servings....maybe three..don't say I didn't warn you). There are two main reasons why I am told a high raw, or even a vegan diet in general, does not work for everyone. I am here to tell you why I think that these reasons are not valid, and are often just misunderstandings and misjudgments.
