How To Dine Out in Kingston, Jamaica as a Raw Vegan. Part I.

- 


Despite the notion that raw veganism is an impossible lifestyle, it is infinitely possible to dine out with options, 


right here in Kingston, Jamaica. In a two part synopsis, I shall illustrate how.


 


There are more than a few places to dine at which are raw vegan friendly and offer in some/most instances 


options for the non raw who will just as much enjoy their choices. This week, I shall briefly give an overview 

  






of options I had over a few weeks which are enjoyable to the palette, generally healthy and options which 


promote a cruelty free, environmentally friendly composition. In a future presentation, I will focus in detail 


on specific locations, their varied selections and recommended orders with an idea of how to choose healthfully 


whilst keeping the budget intact. 


 


In my view, fresh raw and vegan (in general) is the superior way to nourish the body. As such, my approach 


was in said direction to achieve enjoying a meal whilst eating out and keeping the budget in check. Firstly,


a stop at Tehuti Cafe on Lyncourt in Barbican was a welcoming experience. 


 


Embraced by the company of owner and operator Tehuti himself was a grand opportunity as always. 


Up on the menu are shakes, freshly made juices, pizza, salads, sweet pies, pastry balls and more. 


I opted for a scrumptious salad ensemble which included: Fresh tomato filled with tasty walnut cheese, 


curried coconut meat, seasoned ackee(fruit) over a bed of shredded cabbage, tamari sauce on  


‘zoodles’ (zucchini noodles), nut cheese dip on fresh lettuce, seasoned nut meat. Filling and tasteful.

Also available at Tehuti café, is his signature gluten free raw pizza, served with a seasoned walnut cheese.

with walnut cheese.






Interestingly enough, Sham’s Bakery is a delightful location to have a fresh raw concoction. 


Situated in The Marketplace above Half Way Tree Square. Nael, owner, operator and Lead Chef 


is always up for creating a combination of your choice. For a number of years now, I have been ordering 


his signature Middle Eastern Tabbouleh minus a few ingredients and adding a few of my select choices. 


Here we have: finely chopped parsley, tomatoes, onions, garlic, added scotch bonnet peppers.

 Often I will travel with fresh lime and squeeze the juice on top to release more flavour from the ingredients, 


although frankly, this combination needs no enhancing for me to enjoy fully. This, when paired with a ripe 


banana or two is a wonderful meal. Raw ackee also compliments this winning salad made fresh to order.  


Stay tuned for more next weekend.

Healthy & Flavorful Vegan Meals

Sometimes it can be helpful to meal prep for the week, especially if you are typically really busy. Here are some recipes that may be good for you if you want to make some good meals for yourself and your loved ones.        One meal you could do is take some of the Gardein Chicken tenders and bake those. You can put them over some rice or shredded veggies with some seasoning. I usually put a lemon on the side to add some extra flavor.     Another thing that I typically put lemon on is some fishless fillets by Gardein. I had this with some cauliflower rice with lemon and garlic to flavor it. I also decided to have some zucchini on the side for extra vegetables.        Another meal I love making wraps with some tortilla chips. For this above, you can stuff a tortilla with cucumber, tomato, hummus, and any other veggies that could be added. This is a great meal that can be healthy but filling. I like to have tortilla chips and salsa on the side as well.     The last one that I want to sha

   With all of the greener lifestyles that are being adapted all around the world there are tons of questions about exactly what veganism is, and exactly how it pertains to animals.  For the vast majority of people it is extremely important to realize that you simply cannot make a sudden change like shifting from eating burgers every day to living a successful vegan lifestyle overnight.  However, it is also possible to make some substantial changes that are on the path to becoming vegan and showing animals the respect that you believe they deserve.       Many people in the quest to treat animals better are appalled to learn that many countries use some rather unconventional animals as food; this for many people can be action that triggers their desire to change to a vegan lifestyle, however for others it is simply another reason in a long list of reasons.  Many countries such as China make usage of animals such as dog for their meals and many times people are unhappy to learn this, how

Healthy Snacks

     Sometimes when you are in a pinch it can be a bit of a struggle to eat healthy. Sometimes you run out of produce when you are out and may have to settle for some packaged foods. There are some better options to reach for when you want to get a snack. There are definitely some good brands out there that I love getting for when I have a busy work day. Some of these snacks can be good for dipping in salsa or hummus, or any other dip. A lot of these snacks shown also have other flavors in that kind that are also really good to try out.           I love all of the products I have tried by a brand called The Daily Crave so far. I love eating these as a snack with some hummus or you could find any other dip that may go well with this. I enjoy any sort of spread that can be eaten with this and you can also top it with some veggies as well. There are also some other really good flavors including tomato basil, barbeque, salt and vinegar, and sriracha. They have veggie, lentil, and quinoa ch
