Another reason to include soy in your diet - it helps boost collagen synthesis!

We've just added this Versatile Creamy Soybean dip recipe to our website (see link below), which is high in protein and other essential nutrients, plus, after watching Dr Michael Greger's latest video, we discovered that soy can promote collagen synthesis, which can help increase firmness and moisture content of the skin, and help with wrinkles appearing less noticeable. 🌱

👉 Recipe: https://www.veganeasy.org/recipes/versatile-soybean-dip/

👉 Dr Greger's latest video: https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-boost-collagen-synthesis-with-diet
(From the video: Tomatoes, leafy greens, soy, Vitamin C and Vitamin B12 have been shown to boost collagen synthesis.)

Kristen Santos-Griswold is a world class champion. ⛸️🌱

At the ISU World Short Track Speed Skating Championships in Rotterdam, Netherlands earlier this year, Kristen won Gold in the 1000m, took Silver in the 1500m and Bronze in the 500m.

Alongside her US teammates, Kristen won Silver in the Women’s 3000m relay and Bronze in the mixed team relay.

On top of that Kristen was named the Olympic Female Athlete of the Year by the State of Sports Awards, Utah Sports Commission. They said:

“Our Olympic Female Athlete of the Year hasn’t missed a World Cup podium in 2 seasons. The four-distance national record holder collected 17 international medals in 2023—6 gold, 7 silver and 4 bronze. Kristen Santos-Griswold is the first U.S. woman to win a 500m World Cup race and first U.S. skater to capture an individual Gold at ISU Short Track 4-Continents Championships.”

Kristen has been vegan since 2018 after being raised vegetarian. She has never eaten meat.

“I’ve always loved animals so much and don’t want to contribute to anything that could be harmful to them. When I switched to a fully plant-based diet, I also began feeling just overall so much better and began skating better too.” ~ Kristen

CONGRATULATIONS Kristen Santos-Griswold. What an incredible World Champion! 🌱

Easy Pan-fried Tofu in Leek Sauce🌱

We adapted this recipe from Woon Heng's 1-pot Easy Scallion (green onion) Saucy Tofu in 15 minutes recipe. And it's sooo tasty!

Full recipe: https://www.veganeasy.org/recipes/pan-fried-tofu-in-tasty-leek-sauce/

Or see below:

INGREDIENTS
🌱450g/16oz firm tofu, pressed
🌱1 medium leek
🌱1 green onion
🌱1/2 red chilli pepper, optional
🌱Cooking oil
🌱Salt to prevent tofu from sticking to the wok
➡️ For the sauce
🌱1 Tbsp vegan fysh sauce
🌱1 Tbsp tamari sauce
🌱1/2 tsp maple syrup
🌱1 Tbsp arrowroot/tapioca powder
🌱3/4 cup of water

METHOD

1. Chop the leek and finely slice the green onion and chilli, if using. Place the leek and white part of the green onion in a bowl.
2. Heat a large wok over medium heat and add 2 heaping tablespoons of oil (use less for non-stick pan). Slowly slide in the tofu. Use a spatula or spoon and cut up tofu into chunks (or roughly pre-cut the tofu if using a non-stick pan). Pan fry each side until slightly golden. Tip – only flip the tofu once a crust is formed.
3. Meanwhile, in the bowl with the chopped leek and white part of the green onion, mix in the vegan fysh sauce, tamari sauce, maple syrup, and arrowroot powder with water until well combined.
4. When tofu is done, add the sauce, and gently toss to combine. Let it simmer for about 30 seconds until flavours meld, with a few tosses in between to prevent tofu from sticking. Taste test and adjust saltiness with more tamari sauce if needed or additional water for a saucier dish.
5. Garnish with the green parts of the onion and chopped chilli and give it a final toss.
6. Serve immediately with a bowl of rice.

Ok, so this might be a little out of left field, but bear with us... 😉 🌱

In recent years, the global phenomenon of K-dramas has captured the hearts of audiences around the world. The immersive storytelling, clever scriptwriters, diverse characters, and unique cultural elements have contributed to the widespread popularity of Korean dramas.

As the K-drama industry thrives, it is crucial for its continuity to explore avenues for growth and inclusivity, particularly in addressing themes that resonate with the evolving values of a global audience.

In tandem with the K-drama boom, there has been a growing interest in veganism and embracing compassion towards animals.

Just as K-dramas have the ability to influence fashion trends and societal norms, they can also play a pivotal role in further shaping attitudes towards veganism and encouraging viewers to care more for animals.

Some newer K-dramas have elements of this. Netflix’s ‘Mr Queen’ saw the protagonist, a modern-day male chef whose soul gets trapped in the body of a queen from the Joseon era, create a vegan burger in episode 12, called the ‘Macdunaldu’ – the highlight of the king’s banquet. It was cleverly explained that ‘MacDuNalDu’ stands for barley (Mac), bean (Du), fattening (Nal) and belly (Du).

By embracing themes of animal rights and veganism, the K-drama industry can contribute to a more conscious and socially responsible entertainment landscape.

As viewers become increasingly aware of their choices, K-dramas have the potential to not only entertain but also inspire positive transformations in society.

NEWS: Cultivating Change with Farm Transitions Australia

Farm Transitions Australia is a non-profit organization that plays a crucial role in facilitating smooth transitions for farmers, working with them to create a more sustainable future for them, their families, consumers, and the planet.

Did you know that transitioning to environmentally friendly, plant-focused farming uses fewer natural resources to produce crops, which makes them less expensive to operate compared to animal-based farms? Animal-based agriculture incurs 13% more expenses than plant-focused agriculture. While both animal and plant-based agriculture incur losses, the plant-focused industry is twice as profitable as the animal-based industry.

Farm Transitions Australia provides a much needed service to help dairy and meat farmers transition to more sustainable, regenerative and plant-focused practices.

Currently, they are working on Australia’s first farm transition. FTA are working with an Aussie beef farmer to provide him with FREE support to transition his farm into an agritourism hub. PLUS, the more than 800 Angus cows from his farm will get to live their lives in freedom, safe from slaughter!

If you’d like to support FTA’s valuable work, head over to their website: https://farmtransitionsaustralia.org

📢 PSA: VEGAN BUDGET-FRIENDLY TIPS🌱🌿

Some people seem to have the impression that vegan food is expensive. However, being vegan can actually be more affordable than eating non-vegan products.

The times eating vegan can be expensive is if you’re dining out regularly or buying takeout almost every night, or frequently purchasing brand name plant-based alternatives.

If you’re budget-conscious, it’s very easy and affordable to eat healthy plant-based foods.

Here’s an overview of how to be vegan on a budget:

✵BUY PANTRY STAPLES IN BULK✵
~Dry legumes & beans
~Grains
~Nuts & seeds

✵BUY FROZEN FRUIT & VEGGIES✵
✔These are often cheaper than fresh produce and will last longer stored in the freezer, so more can be bought and used as needed over time.
✔They also retain their nutritional value better than fresh produce as they’re harvested at peak ripeness and snap frozen soon after.

✵SHOP FOR SEASONAL FRESH FRUIT & VEG✵
✔If you end up with a lot, freeze them and store until you’re ready to use them.

✵SHOP FOR BARGAINS✵
✔Check for reduced price or on sale items in your supermarket or grocery store.
✔Consider purchasing your tofu, rice and legumes from Asian and Indian specialty stores. These items are normally priced lower than in major supermarkets.

✵BUY GENERIC BRANDS✵
✔Brand name products are almost always more expensive than generic brands, unless they’re on sale.
✔When it comes to plant-based alternatives purchase occasionally and be on the lookout for when they are on special.

✵PREP YOUR OWN MEALS✵
✔Whole food ingredients are more affordable than most processed products. You can make your own burger patties, seitan, vegan dips/cheeses/yoghurts/milks etc., and save on money.

✵COOK YOUR MEALS IN LARGE BATCHES✵
✔This is a great way to save time as well as money.

✵CHOOSE SIMPLE RECIPES WHEN PLANNING YOUR MEALS✵
✔A nutritious meal doesn’t necessarily need a load of ingredients. Get used to making recipes with a few ingredients that cover the basic food groups.

✔Recipe ideas:
~Lentil dishes served with rice or wholemeal flat bread
~Tofu scrambles
~Veggie stir-fries with tofu or tempeh served with rice
~One-pot pasta dishes (use vegetables and sauces of your choice)
~Sandwiches & wraps
~Soups
~Chili (this can be made in large batches and kept in the freezer)
~Bean burrito wraps
~Hummus for snacks or in a wrap with other ingredients
~Smoothies (with greens, fruit)
~Baked veggies
~Salads (beans/pasta) and dressing of your choice
~Pancakes
~Oats/oatmeal with a variety of wholesome toppings

Search https://www.veganeasy.org/recipes/ for more recipe ideas.

🙋‍♀️Eating vegan on a budget is manageable when you do most of your own cooking, keep to the whole food staples and limit processed plant-based alternatives.

Three GOLD Medals for Vegan Skater! 🌱⛸️

Vegan skater Kristen Santos-Griswold has continued her amazing career with three Gold medals at the Four Continents Speed Skating Championships, held in early November.

“I fully believe it’s possible, if not, more beneficial to compete and succeed as a vegan.” ~ Kristen Santos-Griswold

Kristen won each of the three distances in the meeting which attracts the elite from the Americas, Europe, Asia and Oceania. She is the first US skater to have won an individual Gold medal at the Four Continents Championships.

She won the 500m in just under 43 seconds, more than a second clear of second place. Kristen later won the 1500m in 2:26.2. The following day she completed her clean sweep in the 1000 metres.

Kristen has never eaten meat – she was raised vegetarian, and in 2018 she made the full transition to vegan.

“I’ve always loved animals so much and don’t want to contribute to anything that could be harmful to them. When I switched to a fully plant-based diet, I also began feeling just overall so much better and began skating better too.”

WELL DONE Kristen Santos-Griswold and thank you for being such an inspiration! 🌱⛸️
