This is one of the most amazing vegan success stories I have ever seen. It’s about more than weight loss and a vegan diet. It’s about what’s possible in a relationship, the power of food and the power of change!

When I first read about Robert and Jessica Foster my mind was blown! They were a couple from Boulder Colorado and they were very overweight and unhealthy. But they didn’t just continue to live that way. They did something about it!

What was their motivation? Their kids. I wish more parents could see that their children will grow up eating and living the same as their parents. If you want your children to be active and healthy you have to do it by example. This was something this amazing couple realized. Robert told CNN, “‘It got to the point where we realized it didn’t matter what we fed them, If we weren’t eating the same way or if we were overeating, they were going to follow our example.’

The chose to lose weight by starting a vegan diet. It’s been proven time and time again that going vegan is the best path to weight loss. You won’t believe how much it changed the Fosters lives. The lost an amazing combined 280 pounds!

See their amazing pictures and exactly what they did on the next page.

How did Robert and Jessica get to the point they decided to go vegan and change their lives? Jessica said,

“There was that point I hated myself so much. I wasn’t giving them the full me because I was disgusted,’ she said of her family. You have to look in the mirror and say, “Am I going to allow this to continue or am I going to stand up and make those changes?” A light turned on upstairs.”

They went vegan, they began cooking all of their meals at home, and they starting moving and being active. Before long they had run their first 5k marathon. And since then they have gone even further. Just check out their pics now!

Vegan Honey In 15 Minutes Using Only Two Ingredients!

http://veryveganrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Vegan-Honey-Recipe-1024x535.png

A few months ago we wrote an article about honey and the discussion on whether vegans eat it or not. We did not take a side, we only presented two well thought out articles from two of the most respected people in the vegan movement. If you missed that debate you can read it here.

Today I was reading private messages on the Facebook page when I saw one that peaked my interest. A fan of our page named Carolyn said she had a simple honey recipe that was the perfect substitute for honey and completely vegan! Of course that was a claim I had to investigate immediately.

Turns out she was right! You really can make a simple vegan honey substitute and it’s easier than you might imagine. You only need 15 minutes and two ingredients. Get this simple recipe on the next page!

8 Delicious Ways To Eat Carrots

http://veryveganrecipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/vegan-carrot-recipes-1024x535.png

As a child, I was never a fan of carrots. I don’t know why I disliked those orange sticks but I would refuse to eat them. It took several years before I became fully acclimated with carrots. At first, they were finely chopped to the dishes I prepared so that I could barely feel them while eating. Then later, the sizes became bigger and I started eating carrots without any side dishes with it. Slowly, I learned to like and love it! The health benefits of eating carrots are undeniable and they should be a part of everyone’s diet, not just vegans.

Now that I am a mom, carrots are not in the favorite food list of my kids as well. But, I know of several ways to sneak carrots in their meals and snacks. Whether you love carrots more than romantic walks on the beach, or you try to avoid them at all cost, you will love these creative carrot recipes. All of them are delicious and you can get them on the next pages.

Vegan Carrot Cake (& Frosting) Recipe

This year, I took some liberties with my mom’s recipe and made a fully vegan version – frosting and all. Instead of cream cheese (or tofu cream cheese), I made a cream cheese-like frosting using macadamia nuts, cashews, lemon and Almond Breeze. And instead of powdered sugar, the frosting is sweetened with maple syrup.

Crispy Baked Carrot Chips (Sweet or Spicy!)

Vegan Carrot Ginger Cream Spaghetti Sauce

I always go back to this cream sauce because it’s extremely accessible and tastes like it isn’t. The carrot is paired with ginger, making for an earthy tone with robust kicks. Carrot is one of those vegetables that is actually better for you when cooked, because humans don’t chew carrots properly and cooking helps to break down carrot cell walls and make the nutrients more readily available. This recipe is simple, cheap, and animal/figure-friendly – just the way I like it! Enjoy!
