My taste buds are weird right now: I’m craving more cooked food in this bloody hot weather! It was like that last year too. With the onset of summer, I relished raw food and even wrote about it here. But something’s been up with my cravings this week. The temperatures are as high as 34-35 [...]
Yup, it’s the time of the year where it is just perfect to eat raw and not feel an ounce of effort. I have just been enjoying all my raw eats through the day but I still eat a cooked meal in the evening. Though I have been finding, I would keep a bit of [...]
I have waxed lyrical about raw almond milk here before — that was when I was using my cheap-ass-can’t-blend-to-save-its-life-blender and it tasted great. First I blended water with almonds, strained the pulp away, then I blended in dates (usu two or three) to sweeten it up but I always ended up with fairly big chunks [...]
It occurred to me that I’ve never really talked much about raw green juices in this blog — weird, because these are so important in helping me achieve wellness daily, so here’s an ode of some sort to the green juice. At home, I make one every morning but if I have an early morning [...]
I constantly see this brand of peanut butter on vegan blogs and I was curious if I could get it for a reasonable price from the US to Tokyo, but guess what? They sell this on Amazon Japan! YAY! Man, it’s been a long time since I’ve had peanut butter. I wouldn’t say I forcibly [...]
I go through phases where I just keep drinking the same smoothies again and again till I find a new recipe or I just get tired of them. These are the smoothies of the moment in my kitchen… An absolute classic: melon and spinach. I found a bruised melon at my local supermarket for 580JPY [...]
Persimmons are one of my faves — if only they were available all year round! Recipe (in a high-speed blender): 1 persimmon 1 frozen banana 1 cup nut milk (I love walnut or hazelnut) 1 tsp maca powder Dash of cinnamon This is a simple snack and sometimes I add rice protein powder to this [...]
As much as it’s essential to fuel up well before a long run, I think what you put in your body after is also equally important. When your body is exhausted and hungry from so much exertion, it truly inhales the nutrients you consume afterwards so it’s worth being mindful of post-workout food and drinks. [...]
Hey guys, I’m kinda spending some time on the Internet before I head for a loooooong run (15km). I’m training for a half marathon that’s happening in two weeks (read here about a previous one I did near Mount Fuji). I always get a bit nervous before running with a bunch of vegan runners — [...]
Of late, I’ve been changing up my smoothie habits. I used to put spinach in every single smoothie I made but I’ve had different cravings lately. This is frozen pineapple, banana, hemp seeds and cilantro/coriander. I cannot live without hemp seeds now and I just love how they make the flavour of my green drinks [...]
