It is a common misconception that veganism is a deprivation or limiting lifestyle. On the contrary! Being vegan enriches ones life in ways you could not imagine.

By avoiding and not ingesting animal products, you experience a lighter feeling in your body because you are not supporting cruelty or consuming violence.
Vegans enjoy vibrant health, maintain a healthy weight and many report feeling a deeper connection to the natural world and having greater compassion.
You will enjoy profound health benefits on a plant based diet as endorsed by Cornell University, The American Dietetic Association, and many other reputable health experts who state that vegetarians have lower rates of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and other health problems.

Sunflower "Refried Bean" Pate

4 cups soaked sunflower seeds (2 1/2 cups before soaking)
1/2 cup flax oil, hemp oil, or olive oil
3 1/2 tsp. onion powder
2 tsp. chili powder
2 1/2 tsp. cumin powder
1 tsp. Celtic sea salt
1 Tbs. unpasteurized dark miso paste
3 Tbs. raw tahini
1 Tbs. Apple Cider Vinegar
3/4 cup pure water

Put all ingredients in a food processor and puree until creamy. Nice if warmed in the dehydrator at 105 degrees, but great cold!

(You can make "burritos" with lettuce as the shell and add some guacamole and salsa as well.)
