The common thought about vegans is that they have made the dietary shift for the betterment of animals and the environment. This is not each person’s core reason for adopting a vegan diet. Many people find that focusing on plant-based foods aids with better digestion, improved organ function, and weight loss. Whatever the reason for going vegan, we support it and are here to provide some recipes and information about World Vegan Day.

What Is The Vegan Diet?

Typically, veganism goes beyond diet and encompasses a way of life that excludes all forms of animal exploitation. This means that a vegan diet is devoid of animal products, including eggs, meat, dairy products, and even leather. Focusing on plant-based foods makes a vegan’s diet high in fiber and low in cholesterol, and many people are turning to this diet for the scientifically proven facts about reduced risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Vegans are often low in vitamin B12 and vitamin D because they are extremely rare and low in plant-based foods. Nutritionists often recommend supplementing these two nutrients for optimal health.

Different Types Of Veganism

The previously described vegan diet is the most simplistic view because, as with most diets nowadays, there are many variations to best accommodate each person’s preferences, health goals, or commitment to veganism.

Raw-Food Vegan Diet

This diet is solely made up of raw fruits, vegetables, and raw nuts & seeds, and nothing can be heated above 118 degrees Fahrenheit.

Whole-Food Vegan Diet

This diet includes a wide variety of whole plant-based foods, including whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables.

The 80/10/10 Diet

This form of veganism is primarily a raw-food diet that limits fat-rich plants such as avocados or nuts, and primarily focuses on fruits and vegetables. It is also known as a low-fat raw-food vegan diet, or the fruitarian diet.

The Starchy Vegan

This low-fat and high-carb diet is similar to the 80/10/10 diet, but it focuses on starches like potatoes, rice, and corn, as opposed to fresh fruits and vegetables. This is one of the unhealthier forms of the vegan diet, with the other being…

The Junk Food Vegan Diet

As we were saying, this is the unhealthiest form of veganism. This diet focuses on mock meats and fake cheeses, fries, vegan desserts, and other processed vegan foods.

For World Vegan Day, focus on recipes that are loaded with nutrients, not fake meats or processed vegan options. Some of the following recipes are raw vegan and others are simply vegan. Let us know which ones you like.

Halloween is fun for children and adults alike. Kids tend to overdo it on candy, while adults tend to overdo it on the sauce/booze/social lubricant/whatever you want to call it. If you are trying to stop the habits of old this year and want to focus on being a healthier Halloween host (not the person who passes apple slices or avocados out to kids), you can make the spooky snacks in this article.

We normally provide recipes with links, but this year we decided to make a few instructional recipe videos of snacks that are perfect for any Halloween party. Our favorite one to make was the Vegetable Skeleton Man! One major tip for that recipe is to plant out your skeleton on a large baking sheet or platter. A small plate will not accommodate the size and deliciousness of the skeleton. The smoothies were also fun, and they are very interactive for the children. This may even be the easiest way to get kids to enjoy some green monster smoothies! You can quadruple the batch if you plan on making a lot of smoothies. A pro tip is to get small cups so that you don’t have to make as much, especially if you are serving them at a party.

We know Halloween is about a week away, but let’s be honest…most of the events and parties are happening this weekend. Don your costume, put up some decorations, and display your creative, healthy side with these fun snacks. Watch the videos below and let us know what you are thinking about making in the comments.

Alien Apple Treats

Raw Coconut Boonanas

This is the healthiest pop you’ll eat this Halloween. It is sweet and tasty, but you don’t have to feel guilty about eating more than one!

This veggie tray is spookin’ to us, and that’s the honest truth. No two bones about it! Assemble this platter for your Halloween party and watch people marvel at your creativity.

Have you been trying to incorporate more plant-based meals in your diet, but are having difficulty creating recipes? It can be a little daunting to navigate unfamiliar territory because you may not know exactly what you can and cannot use. Rather than driving yourself crazy and immediately converting to a plant-based diet, transition into it slowly, so as not to overwhelm yourself.

Meatless Mondays are a great way to start your plant-based lifestyle. We want to help you on your quest to be a healthier individual, and your goal to make the planet last longer, so we have provided you with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert options to start your Meatless Mondays. If you want to go meatless for more than one day a week, go for it! If you have a favorite meatless recipe, let us know about it in the comments.

You know the saying, “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend?” Well, cashews are a cleanser’s best friend, unless you are allergic to cashews, of course. They can be eaten as a healthy snack, blended into a raw nut butter, made into a raw vegan cheese sauce, or used as the foundation for a creamy raw dressing. Providing lots of antioxidants that encourage red blood cell formation, cashews definitely need to be added to your cleanse-approved grocery list.

If you are looking for a great source of plant-based protein, eat some cashews. If you need a healthy dose of magnesium, copper, calcium, iron, or potassium, eat some cashews. If you need vitamins C, E, K, and B vitamins, eat some cashews. Need to boost the immune system? You guessed it, eat some cashews.

Cashews are rich in dietary fats, which help the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, and E. These healthy fats are beneficial for heart health because they help to reduce bad cholesterol (LDL), and the potassium content helps to naturally lower blood pressure. Provide the body with healthy unsaturated fats and your heart will thank you.

We have some delicious raw cashew recipes that can help make your cleanse that much better. People say they miss things like ranch or Caesar dressings, cheese, or pudding. Well, you can make raw renditions of all of those recipes with cashews!
