Should We Forgo Turkey on Thanksgiving? And Why?
You may think that a plant-based Thanksgiving is a blasphemy, and see no reason why we should give up the tradition of eating a turkey, replacing it with a stuffed pumpkin, tofurky, or whatever, but please hear me out. As much as we like to stick to traditional way of...

Who are you? Why are you here? Just curious…
You may already know a few things about me. Namely, that I’m an author, blogger, green smoothie enthusiast, vegan, and maybe a few other weird things. But here is the thing… I know nothing about you, except that for some strange cosmic reason, you ended up on one of...
If you are struggling, like I did, to go plant-exclusive (or vegan), eating more nutrient dense foods may help.
I have written many times about what effect green smoothies had on my health. Even though I was quite healthy to begin with, I was still getting colds and flues in the fall and winter, which often dragged on for weeks. Super annoying!Those things completely...

Perfect Breakfast & Brunch: Green Smoothie + Veggie Scramble with Tofu
Today I want to share with you this recipe for a veggie-tofu scramble. If you don’t love tofu, you are certainly not alone. For me, it certainly wasn’t the love at first bite.
I’ve really only recently started to experiment with this ingredient, and the beginnings have been less than satisfying.
However, as I experiment more and more, I learned that it’s worth to try different brands and types of tofu, as they each are slightly different. I have to say – I’m loving the tofu I bought last week at Trader Joe’s. The silky tofu is just to die for in deserts (such as this chocolate mousse), and the super firm one that I tried this morning in my veggie-tofu scramble is not too shabby either.
Part of the success of the tofu scramble may be in the recipe. I used Isa Moscowitz’ recipe from the “Vegan Brunch” book.
If you think of tofu scramble as a bland, boring dish, that’s a sad substitute for an egg-scramble; you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Isa’s tofu scramble is by no means bland, bursting with flavor and aroma. You won’t miss eggs, I promise! (Unless you are a die-hard meat-and-dairy eater like my husband, that is).
The Myth of Moderation (and how it applies to smoothies and everything else in life)

That one thing instantly sold me on green smoothies…(and it’s why I started GreenReset.com)
