Stop killing your kids!

by vegansoulicious2 Comments on Stop killing your kids!

Soooooooooooooooooo

Our first state Fair and Emi had so much fun on the rides!

BUT 😳 I am still in complete shock at the POISON they were serving people to eat!

MAPLE BACON FRIED DOUGH

CHICKEN ON A STICK

DEEP FRIED CORN DOGS

DEEP FRIED BUTTER 😳

FUNNEL CAKE

DEEP FRIED MARS

DEEP FRIED OREOS ….. oh I could go on!

We finally found some corn on the cob with no butter and a freshly squeezed lemonade with no sugar! (Don’t ask where those huge genetically modified lemons came from?) It was 85 and we were thirsty!

This is not funny guys, it’s terrifying and really sad 😞

I watched kids as young as 2 years old eat this SHIT and it broke my heart 💔

An adult can make a decision for themselves and damn well live with it ….. but KIDS?

STOP KILLING YOUR KIDS PLEASE 🙏🏾 7% of U.S. children and adolescents ages 6 to 19 have high total cholesterol 🤷🏽‍♀️

Then to top it off they had a beautiful elephant completely exposed in the heat being ridden continuously in a circle … When you looked into his eyes, the sadness and pain took my breath away and I just wanted to punch someones lights out!

I thought at this moment, what would @domzthompson do 🙏🏾 Animals surely deserve to live their lives free from suffering and exploitation.

We have to fight for animal and human rights together ❤️ One does not outweigh the other.

In his book Animal Liberation, Peter Singer states that the basic principle of equality does not require equal or identical treatment; it requires equal consideration.

Let’s keep pushing against the flow people, we got a long way to go 🙏🏾

Try a new fruit or vegetable every week! AFRICAN HORNED CUCUMBER 🤪

Okay!

Emi and I have a summer holiday mission 🤗 Once a week we have to find and try a new vegetable or fruit! Experiment with different ways to prepare it, eat it, drink it ………

A KIWANO/AFRICAN HORNED CUCUMBER was our first on the list and kind of tasted like a cross between a  Kiwi, Courgette, pineapple (ever so slightly) and a cucumber 🤷🏾‍♀️ But once we got into it … Not bad at all 😋

We are going to experiment a bit more with this. Maybe in a juice, salad dressing or on ice-cream!!!!!!!!!!

MORE IMPORTANTLY THE HEALTH BENEFITS ARE INSANE!

  • Kiwano (Horned Melon)

Good Morning!

It’s the summer holidays and time to get the kids in the kitchen!! Assorted sizes of banana pancakes made by my little 🐒 taste YUMMY 😋 

She even made ROCK PEOPLE to share them with 😂 It’s so easy my 5 year old made them!

LETS DO THIS

Mash in a bowl 1 super ripe banana & add the following:

1 teaspoon of vanilla

1 teaspoon of coconut oil

3/4 cup of plant based milk (I like walnut or almond the best)

In a separate bowl combine 1 cup of unbleached flour & 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder.

Whisk all ingredients together and let it sit in the fridge for 5 mins!

Spray a pan with coconut oil and get flipping!

Garnish with your favourite fruit and syrup!

😋

Get the Kids Juicing

by vegansouliciousLeave a Comment on Get the Kids Juicing

Best thing I could have ever done for my little one was juicing! From the tender age of 1 she was picking  fruits and vegetables out and fully involved in the process 😂

Beetroot and ginger was and still is a huge winner in our home. And lets not forget fresh green kale, apple, courgette, spinach, cucumber juices!

There’s always something in the fridge that you can juice up, even just simple carrots 🥕 It does not always have to be so complex … JUST GET THE KIDS INVOLVED 🙏🏾

Never seen my little one happier!

Pomegranate IS LIFE 🙌🏾

From the moment we cracked this baby open EMI was in heaven! Such an islander like her mama, wanting to eat every morssil and suck every drop of juice from the skin!

I avoid pre-packaged, pre-cut fruit like the plague …. every child needs to see what they are eating in its rawest form, not just fruit and Veg!

If we all did this it would change our relationship to what we eat and how we eat 🙏🏾 But so many are running scared and don’t want to face the ugly truth!

Im not gonna get to heavy on this post … but we will address this a little deeper at a later date.

Benefits of Pomegranate for Children

  • Packed with vitamins like Vitamin E and Vitamin C
  • Natural aromatase inhibitor – could help prevent children from early puberty and possibly breast cancer later in life
  • Low calories for a juice
  • High in fiber – aids proper digestion; fiber also helps reduce a child’s risk of developing diabetes and protects the heart
  • High in potassium – helps with muscle aches and growing pains
  • Great iron content – iron is required for the body to produce hemoglobin, which carries gives red blood cells the ability to carry oxygen through the blood
  • High folate content – gives the body the ability to produce and maintain brand new cells
  • B Vitamins – keep the nervous system and immune system strong; helps the brain function optimally
  • Helps children maintain a healthy weight
