Films
-Food, Inc. – This film is not about veganism but it does inform you on what you’re putting in your body.
-Killer at Large: Why Obesity is America's Greatest Threat
-Food Matters
-Vegucated - Vegucated is a guerrilla-style documentary that follows three meat- and cheese-loving New Yorkers from different backgrounds who, for six weeks, adopt a vegan diet and a whole new way of thinking about food.
-Got the facts on Milk? - Got the facts on Milk? (also known as "The Milk Documentary" is an entertaining, award winning feature documentary that dares to question the conventional wisdom of the much publicized health benefits of milk and dairy products. Addressing myth, truth and all in-between, the film is a humorous yet shocking exposition that provokes serious thought about this everyday staple
Things you should incorporate into your everyday life!
-KALE: This is my absolute favorite! (If you couldn't tell, Kale and I have a love affair). Kale is considered to be the most nutritious vegetable in the world. It's very high in beta carotene, vitamin k, vitamin c, lutein, zeaxanthin, and rich in calcium. Kale is so scrumptious and there's so many ways to cook it or you can throw it in a smoothie. I like to steam kale and add pepper and apple cider vinegar. Yum!
-FLAX SEEDS: These are packed full of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants.
-CHIA SEEDS: Also an incredible source of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, calcium, and potassium.
-QUINOA: Pronounced "keen-wah" - This yummy grain is a complete protein.
-TONS OF DIFFERENT VEGGIES OF COURSE!!!
-GRAINS: Quinoa, Brown Rice, and Millet...there's more but these are the ones I stick to.
-BEANS: Black Beans, Pinto Beans, Black Eyed Peas, Garbanzos, Lentils, Soy Beans, and more.
Have you tried???
-A soy frappuccino from Starbucks!

This gluten free cereal is yummy and packed full of grains, fiber, and omega-3's.
