This post is spot on! We focus way to much on protein while we should focus on Fibre!
π±πͺ There is so much fuss over protein, even though the studies Dr. Greger cites show that 97% of Americans eat enough protein.
Want to see a full video explaining it all from a doctor? Check the first comment on this post or search "70% more protein" on our site.

Some lovely dishes on our menu again!
Did you know that it takes 6 or 7 weeks before we would even repeat a recipe on our menu.
This means that in a full year you would only see the same meal 7 or max 8 times. π€―π± How good is that!!
1. Caponata Siciliana, a wonderful dish full with veggies and a secret ingredient to let all the flavours come together.... dark chocolate. The chocolate gives that beautiful depth with a tiny bit of bitterness to connect all flavours. A must try!
2. This one tastes as good as it looks! Spicy Greens with Turmeric Fried Tofu and Sticky Rice. Fun, refreshing with a little kick.
Thank youπ₯³π±We love hearing from our customers it really warms our heart to hear we can be of help in your culinary journey.

Engaging in ethical discussions with vegans is enlightening. It's not about winning but fostering empathy and understanding.
Shift in perspective
"Winning" debates is tough because vegan beliefs run deep. Vegans aim to raise awareness - an advocacy, not a competition.
Identity and Eating Habits
What we eat is linked to identity, often fueled by marketing. Let's decipher fact from fiction in a world where eating habits are wrongly tied to identity.
The Core of Veganism
Veganism is a profound commitment to avoiding harm to animals. Vegan ethics go beyond the plate, theyae a fundamental part of identity
Debating Ethics
A journey, Not a Contest, Approach with empathy, respect adn a genuine willingness to understand

πΏ Why Red Cabbage is a Real 'Superfood'! πΏ
Ever heard of βsuperfoodsβ? While the term is a bit of a marketing myth, there's no denying that some foods, like red cabbage, pack a powerful punch of nutrients, colour, and flavour! πβ¨
Why Red Cabbage?

Antioxidant Rich: Dark colour = higher antioxidants, boosting your health and skin.
Weight Loss Friendly: High in fibre, keeps you full longer, and helps with cravings.
Heart & Cancer Benefits: Can lower the risk of cancer and heart disease.
Immune Boost: More vitamin C than an orange!
How to Enjoy It?
Roasted: Slice, drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, roast for crispy, caramelized goodness.
Pickled: Perfect in fresh salads.
Stir-Fried: Adds a punch to Asian dishes.
Remember, a healthy diet is all about variety. Aim for 30 different plants each week for optimal health!
Add some red cabbage to your cart next time and enjoy its vibrant benefits! π
