SLAM! Vegan Poetry

Mmmmmmm……
Asian flavors
Love to savor
Like special treat for lunch and dinner
(use chopsticks for make extra good to eat)
I eat seaweed
I eat gobo
I eat pad thai, kimchi and miso!
Asian treats
So good for eat
Make me want to tap my feet
And fill my bowl
With all lots vegetables (no meat!)
Go back for seconds
Not once or twice
But for three-peat!

Raw Vegan Green Chlorophyll Slushies!

This slushie is made of real stuff. And it’s really good for you. Like, really.

10 ice cubes (or 1 1/2 cup crushed ice)

2 tbsp. chlorophyll

1 tsp. e3 live flakes (optional)

1/2 cup water

2-3 tbsp. agave nectar

juice of one lime

Mix all ingredients in blender. If it is too frozen, add another 1/4 cup water or more if needed. Remember you are going for a slushie texture, so you don’t want to add too much liquid. If you want it sweeter add more agave. Drink with a straw.

Swag on tight with a Vegan lean

Everyday I wake up and put on that vegan swag. Homemade shirts, recycled skirts, hand me down pants, yard sale shoes, thrift store jackets. Pretty much everything in my apartment from what I wear to what I sit on was purchased for under 20 bucks at a yard sale. It’s true, you cant buy everything used (underwear, socks, toothbrush unfortunately you have to buy some things new) but everything I can, I buy used. I decorate my pad with vegan swag: mellow, peaceful and full of love. That’s what vegan is. Vegan swag tells the world how much you love and care about this planet and every living thing that dwells on it.

I put on my vegan swag everyday, knowing that it carries a message, and chances are someone is going to ask me about my swag. And each time that happens, it is an opportunity to share with people how rad vegan swag is. From my vegan puppy with an organic hemp leash to my recycled vegan shoes and yard sale t shirts, it’s all about vegan swag, reducing your impact and leaving a tinier footprint. It’s not often that case that bigger is not always better, but when it comes to vegan swag, less is more. Less stuff, less chemicals, less ingredients, less shopping, less green house gases. Only buy shit new if you have to. Don’t buy shit if you dont need it. Don’t buy shit that is comes wrapped in shitloads of plastic. Get a water bottle and use it.

Stay fresh. Eat your vegetables.

Gracias, Madre….
