Have you tried the oyster mushroom tacos I made on Unchained TV? I still get people telling me how much they love this recipe!

Mushrooms are one of my favorite ingredients for adding flavour and texture, but not so much for protein. That’s why I always pair mushroom dishes with tofu, tempeh, or beans.

For these tacos, I made a creamy chipotle sauce from tofu to balance out the meal and add more protein.

🌱 Veganism is more than a diet—it’s a movement rooted in love, compassion, and connection. It’s about the animals, but also happens to be the best way to protect the planet as well. It's about creating a kinder, more sustainable future for all.

Every choice we make has power. Every meal is an opportunity to choose justice, peace, and respect for animals and for the earth. 🌍✨

What words come to mind for you when you think of veganism? 💚

🌱 Thinking of going vegan or plant based? It’s the best choice you can make for the animals, your health, and the planet — but there are a few mistakes new vegans can sometimes run into.

Here are 3 key things to watch out for (and how to avoid them):

1️⃣ Skipping B12 (and D3): A reliable B12 source is non-negotiable, and if you don’t get year-round sun, add a vegan D3 supplement too.

2️⃣ Not eating enough calories: Plants are naturally less calorie-dense than animal products, so you’ll likely need to eat more food than before. This isn't always the case. It really depends on each individuals diet.

3️⃣ Increasing fibre too fast: A sudden jump in fibre can cause bloating and discomfort. Increase gradually, and make sure you’re drinking enough water.

✨ Bonus: Some worry about protein, but that’s easy to cover with tofu, tempeh, seitan, beans, lentils, or even vegan protein powder. Aim for ~20–30g per meal.

👉 Save this for later or share with someone who’s just starting their vegan journey!

💭 Imagine being able to talk to your pre-vegan self… what would you say?

This is one of my favorite questions to ask because it really highlights the personal journeys, challenges, and aha-moments that shape our choices. 🌱✨

If you’ve been vegan for years (or even just a little while), I’d love to know:

👉 What advice would you give your past self about going vegan?

🌱 Have you tried my Tomato 'Tuna' Poke Bowl recipe?

It’s one of my favorite ways to show how simple it can be to build a balanced meal — something I talked about in the latest Vegan Boss Radio episode. 🌱

Example of a balanced meal:
🍚 Quinoa = complex carbs
🍲 Tofu = protein
🥕 Veggies = fiber + antioxidants
🥗 Creamy tahini dressing + avocado = fats

And because the sauce makes the bowl, here’s my go-to tahini dressing recipe:

Blend together:

3 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp tamari/soy sauce
Juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp garlic
4–6 tbsp water (add slowly until creamy)
1 tsp date syrup/agave — or ½ a date

Drizzle it over your bowl and enjoy a nourishing, satisfying, and delicious meal. 💚
