Amazing Grass Watermelon Energy Review
Today I’m finally introducing you to my newest love from Amazing Grass, the Green Superfood Watermelon Energy. When I try out new products, I like to give myself at least 4-6 weeks to really see if they affect me or benefit my life in some way, before sharing a full review. I’ve actually been using…
Vitacost Vegan Pantry Staples
Buying in bulk is a huge money-saver. Not very many people know that the staples in your pantry can actually be purchased online, for a much more affordable price. I’ve been shopping through Vitacost for about two plus years now. You might see me link to different products on their site and many of you…
Top 10 Vegan Vitacost Must-Haves
When it comes to vegan products, there’s an increasingly high amount of options available today.

Malk | Cold Pressed Plant-Based Milk Review
When a local company reaches out to you and it’s probably the greatest line of products you’ve tried in a long time – you share a full review, so more people learn about these incredible products! Malk is a brand based in Houston, Texas. They make non-dairy, plant-based milks that are free of nasty preservatives,…
8 Ingredient Red Curry
The thought of making curry at home always intimidated me. My brother use to make curry all the time at my parent’s house, but he actually made the paste from scratch. Now I didn’t for this recipe, however you’re more than welcome to. I highly recommend a quality, pre-made curry paste for beginners though, to…

The quick and easy solution to a delicious family dinner. This recipe is a simple combination of 3 older recipes I truly adore, Savory Coconut Cream Sauce + Hemp Seed Pesto & Oil-Free Roasted Garlic! All three are staples in my kitchen, I prep them as much as possible to keep on hand and add into…
Southern Hickory Smoked Barbecue Sauce
This week I’m working on a series of recipes that pay homage to my family and my southern roots. I’m proud to be a Texan and celebrate that through BBQ, in a completely cruelty-free manner. Can’t wait to share all of the recipes! To start, it only seemed logical to share the base of this…
Dragon Fruit Smoothie Bowls
The beauty of breakfast is you can invest as much or as little time into it. As much as I would love to have Tex Mex Tostadas every morning – it’s not practical when you’re in a rush or want something quick because you woke up starving. Enter the smoothie bowl, a quick and easy…
Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake with Cheesecake Frosting & Cookie Crumble
Not gonna lie, this is probably my favorite dessert I’ve made this year. I received two very positive reviews from my parents regarding this one – both raved about the texture and flavor. I’m so happy to finally be sharing this with you all – it took a little longer than anticipated to post because…
Veestro | Vegan Food Delivery Review
I recently heard about the magic that is food delivery, not pizza takeaway or those nasty frozen tv dinner meals that are full of processed junk. Actual FOOD! Made with organic ingredients, no animal-products and full of flavor. I never knew such a thing existed, until Veestro. The incredible meal delivery service that creates such…
The Best Gluten Free Vegan Pizza Crust [Using Aquafaba]
Have you ever been somewhere that served gluten-free pizza crust and decided to try it? Whether you’re Celiac or not – I was curious once and never again will I experience that awful, cardboard crust! Seriously, it wasn’t even edible. Even though I’m not gluten intolerant, I have discovered I’m very gluten sensitive. I avoid…

Ka’Chava | Chocolate Meal Replacer Review
I’m back with a new review! I’ve been itching to share this product for a few months now, I mentioned it a few times over on my Instagram (@PlantPhilosophy).

It’s been a while since I’ve shared a review, but I’m back with a fun one for you all today! Over the past few months I’ve been drinking tea again, I forgot how much I enjoyed the whole experience of making and drinking hot tea in the mornings. So in my quest to branch out…
Plant Strong Pantry Essentials
Some of you have been curious as to what I like to keep on hand, in my own home. I thought it would be fun to finally share my pantry staples. Now when I say pantry, I don’t keep most of these in a cubbard – any raw nuts and/or seeds are stored in the…
Baked Turmeric Falafel + Cilantro Tahini Sauce
Sometimes I get cravings for falafel, but I always regret eating it when fried. Something about the oil used or amount of it just leaves my stomach unsettled. So I played around with baking it, while it’s not exactly the same as traditional falafel, it definitely satisfies my craving for it. Plus, you cut out a…
