Being vegan doesn't limit you from doing anything. It can actually make life very fun, bring you so much joy, better health, and inner fulfillment. 💪After traveling to more than 15 countries in the last 2 years and many cooking and travel tutorials, I will be sharing all of my tips on going vegan and traveling as a vegan.✈️🥘

🌟In the first half of the workshop, you will learn the practical steps of going vegan, where to shop, which ingredients/products to look for, how to eat enough protein on a vegan diet, which vitamins you need to start using, and how to cook meat alternatives (tofu, tempeh seitan…). We will also talk about how to travel as a vegan in an easy and simple way without any stress.

🌟The second part will be dedicated to cooking a meal together and talking about all the vegan ingredients you need on a vegan diet. We will finish the program by eating the meal we cooked and hanging out together with snacks, drinks, and cake.

The workshop will include:

⚡️Full meal that we will cook together (meal designed to have enough protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats) + cake, drinks, and snacks.
⚡️Educational talk on all things vegan (practical tips).
⚡️Benefits of the vegan diet and reasons to go vegan.
⚡️How to enjoy traveling around the world as a vegan.
⚡️Brochure with the most important information of the workshop
⚡️2 Ebooks (smoothie ebook & how to shop as a vegan ebook)
⚡️List of all the vegan/ vegetarian/vegan-friendly restaurants in Belgrade and Novi Sad
⚡️Hanging out part, where you can meet other vegans at the workshop and ask any questions

For all of those who won’t be able to join us in Belgrade, we will have an online option through Zoom. 📷 (You will get a list of all the ingredients you will need to cook the same meal at home)

The program will be led in Serbian . 🇷🇸

Eight magical days spend in the beautiful Zlatibor with the most amazing people I know. 🎉

I spend 5 days in silence,🤫 with no eye contact, no physical contact and mostly in meditation. This was a catharsis experience that completely transformed me. I am still trying to gather myself and comprehend what happened. One thing I know I got clarity of purpose, much more strength and dedication to what I love to do. To share the vegan lifestyle with all of you.💪

During the Empowered silent process there were so many emotions that left me, and it ended with the most beautiful party. We celebrated Diwali - the festival of lights, on the last day of the retreat. 🪔

I have never danced as much as I did this Diwali. The freedom I felt to be 100% myself was something completely new.

I wish you happy Diwali, and I hope that you will find your light in this world. Don't forget to check inside yourself 😉

Three months ago I started this project with the idea to create a community for vegans, plant based eaters, vegetarians and veg-curious people. A website that will answer all your questions and you will be able to find recommendations for the best vegan products and practices out there. 💪🥦

At that moment was born. A platform that I hope will unite our community and you will be able to read articles writen by vegan content creators that have a real passion to share their knowledge and experience with you.

I used to think that writing was not my strongest side (thats why I focus on creating visual content more), but with VegFinds I finaly menaged to to brake that boundarie, learn more and exercise my writing.✍️ One thing I learned is that when you are trying to share what is in your heart, words will come to you.

I also wanted to include service to society in some way, because it has brought a new perspective in my life in the past couple of years. In collaboration with ACT Foundation we have created a part of VegFinds where you can donate a vegan meal to a person in need. VegFinds is also donating 10% of our earnings to this cause. 🪙

So welcome to a new chapter, visit vegfinds.com, get yourself a free ebook  and share it with your friends! ❤️🥰

🍉It's watermelon season and this watermelon is trying to tell me something 🍉

I am so grateful to be in Macedonia this summer and enjoy the delicious watermelons from my grandma's garden. Here watermellons are literally everywhere, farmers markets, street vendors and even people selling waterleons while driving little tractors in most of the neighborhoods yelling WATERMELON, WATERMELON! And those are the best watermelons to buy, they are always fresh, juicy and sweet 🍉

Where are you from and what is your favorite fruit?

It has been such a blessing to attend the retreat Find The Peace Within with Mohanji this year. It's been a deep transforming process that had a huge impact on me. 🥰

🌟 Every morning we started with Kriya (meditation technique), than we continued with yoga and breathing exercises. The breakfast, lunch and diner were fully vegan and so delicious. My favorite part was the deserts, which were fully raw and without any sugar.Thanks to our chef .a.chefs.life that prepared this delicious feasts.

🌟 Every day we had couple of hours of Q&A with where we discussed a lot of spiritual subjects, mental health subject and practical techniques for bettering our lifestyle.

🌟 During the day we had a lot of time to rest, go to the beach, and attend different workshops. At night we had deep processes with like Concious Dancing, Awakening Yoga Nidra and Group Mai-Tri.

🌟 Every night finished in celebration with the amazing band .mejandzieva .joga.9

❤ Overall I got to have time with myself, to go deeper within and strengthen my relationship with myself. ❤

Thanks to all the amazing volunteers that made this possible and to my friends for the great time.

Be happy and be grateful,

With love Padma Priya ❤

Hi, friends! Welcome to my first What I Eat in a Day video! This is my realistic diet.

I love having some snacks during the day too, all of them are healthy and most of the things I eat are gluten-free also.

Tavce Gravce is the Macedonian National Dish made out of white (lima) beans, seasoned with sweet paprika and served with long dried peppers (vezeni piperki - embraided peppers). I grew up eating this dish in my grandma's house. She will make it every Friday. In the Balkans, most people are Orthodox Christian and Friday is a fasting day. On this day's people usually eat vegan food.

Vegan meats are a great starting step for any new vegan. Beyond meat is my favorite for making vegan burgers or their minced meat for tacos and stuffed peppers. Gardain vegan chicken is a amazing option if you are missing the texture of chicken meat.

It's a baking season with christmas being so close, and one of my favorite ways to feel fastive it to bake cookies. When baking vegan cookies I substitute the egg with half a mashed banana. The banana acts as a binder and it's also good to add a bit more oil or vegan butter to substitute the fat from the egg.

Vegan mayo tastes the same as normal mayo, and it's very easy to find. Every grocery store carries it.
