Favorite Vega Product: Vega Whole Food Health Optimizer, & Vega Whole Food Vibrancy Bars

How did you discover Vega?: After I went vegan, my mom was concerned about my health. She found out about Brendan, The Thrive Diet, and Vega, and told me about it. I'm hooked on the stuff <3 love my breakfasts

Tell us a little more about yourself: I've been vegan since December 2007, and transitioning raw since November 2009. I'm a total foodie, and I eat chocolate everyday. I write a food blog, as it's something I'm totally passionate about sharing with others :)

My Mom's 14 Day Raw Vegan Cleanse

My mom is truly my best friend & strongest support system. That's why, as her health as suffered, I've wanted to jump in and help, but without sounding critical & judgemental. She has low iron & is tired all the time, but her doctor tells her to eat a lot of red meat. Now, she is noticing the benefits I've reaped of an almost entirely raw food diet, and has asked me to help her complete a 14 day cleanse. I have her drinking Vega WFHO in her green smoothies everyday, & I'm… Continue

I saw one of your posts on here and had to tell you we have very similar stories about how we became vegan.
I was looking into workout plans and nutrition; so my girlfriend, who has been vegan for 6 years now, gave me the Skinny B**** book to read. Like you I cut meat and dairy cold turkey. Just horrible what goes on in those places, not to mention all the chemicals, hormones, and pesticides that end up in the meat.

After I read SB she turned me on to Brendan's Thrive Fitness. Simply Amazing.

Anywho.... eat well, live healthy, and stay vegan. ;)

At 9:37am on September 5, 2010, Ann Richter said…: Charlene, I have to thank you again! Your passion for smoothies and buying produce at CostCo inspired me to make my first VERY GREEN smoothie. I buy the organic baby spinach in the big 1 pound containers and that's a LOT of spinach to chew in salads. Usually if I don't feel like eating a bunch of spinach (which I love BTW), I just juice it. But not today. Today I turned three handfuls of it into a yummy smoothie with some strawberries. And I'm fixing to go make another too! Next I'm gonna get my brave on and try some of that kale you go on about. :D

At 3:59pm on August 25, 2010, Ann Richter said…: Hey, Charlene! Thanks so much for posting your Char's Kitchen link. I loaded it to my favorites.
You've inspired me to think maybe I could do this raw thing some more. :D
