I visited the Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market and shot a short video of what I got and spent, so I decided to share it here with you all in case you're not already following me on YouTube (check it out for more!). One of the most frequently asked questions I get in comments and emails is that regarding saving money or living on a budget as a high carb and/or high raw vegan. Good news! I have some very helpful information, especially to those of you who live in Los Angeles, or near it :) Check out this blog post for FAQs, advice, examples, photos + more!wholesale haulDate: October 2, 2015 Total: $76

JACKFRUITHUMMUS13When visiting the LA Wholesale Produce District, I make sure to try and visit Greenfield Imports to see if I can pick up a jackfruit. After opening and cleaning the fruit, a myriad of jackfruit seeds always remains. For a while, I was boiling them to enjoy with salads or as a snack, but a girl could only eat so much and they grew unenjoyable after the fourth or fifth jackfruit I had brought home. I started to compost, and even just dispose of the seeds, but felt guilty after doing so and knew that there needed to be another way to make use of these. After brainstorming a few ideas with my auntie, this recipe was born and I had to share it with you all as soon as I could.

jackfruithowtographicJackfruit is definitely an intimidating fruit! It's appearance is jurassic, as I have heard it described, and it is the largest born tree fruit in the world. Did you know that they are capable of reaching 100 pounds? Oh what I would do for 100 pounds of jackfruit :) But have no fear, Sweet Simple Vegan is here to help you cut through your very first jackfruit at home!Jackfruit17

Cinnamon Maple Delicata Squash Salad w: Vegan Jackfruit 'Bacon' This recipe stemmed from my attempt to create a recipe to use for the big game coming up here in the U.S., aka the Super Bowl. I asked my dad what he would want to eat at our family get together, and he said bacon. Well, you know what my initial reaction was to that...yuck! So I compromised. I told him that I would use homemade coconut bacon instead. I began googling recipes for a bacon marinade, and got to it. I took out all of my ingredients and then...I realized I had no coconut meat :,(

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.
