The Blueberry pancakes from the Thrive Diet are absolutely my favorite thing to make for a special Sunday breakfast/brunch. I'll have to try this version. Thanks for sharing!
HI Maya,
I just joined about a week ago. I learned about Thrive through The Kind Life by Alicia Silverstone. Through Brendan's site I learned about e-cornell where I'm now enrolled in the plant-based nutrition class. And now I'm here doing thrive in…
Thankfully, I've never been one to feel as though I let stress bog me down. Now, that's not to say that I don't get stressed but I have always been a person that seems to handle stress well. When I'm really bugging, I try to return to my breath and…
Oops! I said a *year* supply, but I meant to say a month! I guess I really am manifesting BIG things! ha!
I'm so excited for 2010 because I have big plans! I feel like I'm in a place in my life where Im coming into my own and I now feel more strongly than ever that I need to share my passions and knowledge with the world. My goals for this year include…
Hi Raechel,
I noticed that you're based in Minnesota. If you're looking to step up your toning/strength training, I highly recommend checking out a Yoga Sculpt class at CorePower Yoga. Yoga Sculpt is a mix of weight training (think basic curls, squa…
I've been meat free for over 10 years (strictly vegan for the last two) and while my family is still pretty clueless about my lifestyle, they are slowly coming around. I usually eat something ahead of time and I'm always sure to bring a salad or som…
HELLO MAYA, I JUST JOINED THE GROUP HERE, AND I HAVE TO SAY SINCE I HAVE BEEN TAKING THE LESSONS I REALLY FEEL LIKE I AM LEARNING FOR THE FIRST TIME HOW TO EAT. I AM 50 YEARS OLD, AND WHEN I WAS GROWING UP WE DID NOT HAVE THE INFORMATION THAT WE DO…
Hey all!
I'm new to this group, so if you've already received hundreds of raw hemp milk recipes, I apologize.
This morning, I decided to replace water in my Vega optimizer smoothie with raw hemp milk I made the night before. I usually like the Natur…
My favorite yoga pose changes often, but I've always loved half-pigeon. It's challenging, reflective and is one of the many poses that represents the gentle balance of strength, flexibility and focus that yoga requires.
As I mentioned in previous blogs, I'm doing the Thrive in 30 vegan diet challenge with a group of friends. They've all agreed to share info about their lifestyle, eating habits and experiences. This week's spotlight is on professional badass Heather…

Thriving in Chicago, Pt. 3
As I mentioned in previous blogs, I'm doing the Thrive in 30 vegan diet challenge with a group of friends. They've all agreed to share info about their lifestyle, eating habits and experiences. This week's spotlight is on professional badass Heather Crosby.
Heather grew up on a horsefarm in Maryland, and post-college in 1998, she sold her truck and moved to Chicago with half a job and one month's rent to her name. Being brave has paid off and ChiTown has been good to her. It is her home now. So… Continue

Thriving in Chicago
I love October. As the month comes to a close, I'm finally finding the structure and balance in my workout and diet that colder temps bring.
I'm doing the lululemon and CorePower yoga challenge, taking fun classes at H.E.R.O. Fitness and trying new studios all around town. Needless to say, I'm a very active person and I need a lot of energy to keep going. Most people are surprised to find out I don't eat meat or drink caffeine, but to me it just makes sense. See I'm a really active person and I… Continue

I just read your blog post on Thrive in 30! Thank you so much for sharing this. So thrilled to see that you enjoyed the program. Also wanted to let you know that Brendan is coming to Chicago in mid November as part of his speaking and book tour. I'll be sure to post details for the events soon but wanted to give you a heads up too!
Cheers,
Kelly
