When we were young, the sport utility vehicle (SUV) was the prototypical example of Western culture’s growing environmental destruction. And the result of this? The iconic Hummer SUV was replaced in many garages by the now iconic and hyper efficient Toyota Prius. And how did we measure this efficiency? We made a new metric for automobile…
Tempeh Lettuce Tomato Avocado (TLTA) Sandwich
Some dudes (and gals) laugh at the attempt we vegans make to use tempeh as a substitute for bacon. It’s just not the same!, they say. And they are correct, it’s not the same. Tempeh bacon will never exactly recreate the bacon experience. Same with a veggie burger instead of beef. Same with using jackfruit…
Tacos with Cilantro-Pepita Pesto
We’re often asked questions like “what kind of stuff do you guys eat?“. The first answer is usually planteatersmanifesto.com, and the second answer is usually tacos.

5 Minute Black Bean Tacos
Lately, we’ve been sharing some Costa Rican-inspired recipes from our recent trip. If you’re late to this series, check out the Avocado Mango Chutney Sandwich and the Veggie Casado.

Veggie Casado
The conversation is playing over and over in my head. We were in a taxi on our way back to the airport in Costa Rica. Our driver, Randall, asked us if we enjoyed the local food. Boy, did we. When I told him how much we loved his beloved Casado, the fresh mangos, and el…

Five Foods Every Dude Should Eat
When I talk to other dudes about being vegan, they’re mildly astonished. Usually, they’re on board with a vegan or vegetarian meal every now and then, but they don’t understand how I do it all the time. How have I not withered away from a shortage of calories? The answer? Here are 5 foods that help…
Steve Jobs Salad
Albert Einstein had his gray suit. Mark Zuckerberg has his gray t-shirt. Obama only wears gray or navy suits. Steve Jobs had his black turtleneck and jeans. Google any one of these guys – they (almost) always wear (or wore) the exact same thing. It’s not a coincidence. They’ve all made the choice not to…
Fat Green Smoothie
Sometimes Kayli and I (reluctantly) go to morning workout classes. I say “reluctantly” not because we aren’t early birds (alarm sounds at 530AM every day), but because we adore our habit of slow mornings. On morning exercise days, we forgo our glorious, slow morning routine of coffee-sipping and book-reading in exchange for a jarring, heart-pounding, rather…
