    Vegan Easter Basket

    Apr 9, 2017 • Festive/Holidays, Wellness & Lifestyle

    This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Whole Foods Market. All opinions are 100% mine.

    Vegan Easter Basket Ideas. Filled with goodies like vegan candy, chocolate, savory snacks and easter treats, along with beauty finds, vegan reads & "eggs"!

    Easter brings back so many sweet, sugar-filled memories, literally.

    Growing up, my mom would go all out with the best Easter candy, colorfully arranged in a cute basket with all the goodies; Easter egg hunt included. 

    As you probably guessed, my lifestyle has since changed and I’m bringing you new ideas for a better Vegan Easter Basket! 

    I couldn’t wait to share my vegan finds with you and felt like a kid in a candy store, picking out the “fun stuff” that I don’t normally allow myself to buy, which felt incredibly satisfying… I highly recommend you try it for yourself. Think gummy candy, watermelon rings, macaroons, toasted coconut marshmallows, savory vegan snacks, a vegan “egg”, bee-free honee, healthier chewing gum, beauty finds, vegan cooking magazines and lots more. I went ALL OUT and it felt so good.

    Whether you’re an adult who indulges on holiday candy from time to time (c’mon, we all do it) or you have kids/teens who follow a vegan lifestyle, no one has to feel left out anymore like years prior! There are SO many goodies at our fingertips and everything I’m sharing today can be found at your local Whole Foods Market.

    Times are changin, my loves! Seriously though, who would have thought products like these would be available?!

    Of course the goodies aren’t “healthy” per say, but sometimes, you gotta live a little and enjoy life. I never want to come off as a vegan blogger who only eats kale and sweet potatoes and perfectly arranged smoothie bowls on the daily… that is so far from the truth. I like to indulge as much as anyone and encourage you to do the same. Plus, it’s important to support vegan brands who are paving the way for cruelty-free goodies (made without artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners or preservatives that can be found in conventional candy) and show them some love!! 

    Vegan Easter Basket Ideas. Filled with goodies like vegan candy, chocolate, savory snacks and easter treats, along with beauty finds, vegan reads & "eggs"!

    We need to talk about my love for Whole Foods Market.

    Not only do I feel like I’m in a dreamland while shopping there (and literally want everything in sight) but I feel like they get me. 

    Not only is their produce more fresh and of higher quality (at least here in the midwest!) but the amount of options they offer for anyone following a vegan lifestyle or special diet is magical. They have strict guidelines for the natural food products they do sell, which sets them apart from the rest, giving us peace of mind by supporting brands interested in our well-being.

    Your dollar counts, don’t ever forget that.

    Everything sold at Whole Foods Market does NOT contain:

    • high fructose corn syrup
    • hydrogenated fats
    • artificial preservatives
    • artificial sweeteners
    • artificial flavors
    • artificial colors 

    Vegan Easter Basket Ideas. Filled with goodies like vegan candy, chocolate, savory snacks and easter treats, along with beauty finds, vegan reads & "eggs"!

    I should also mention that your prayers have been answered… Vegan Marshmallow Bunnies (similar to Peeps!) do exist!!

    You’ll have to search this store locator to make sure they’re available at a Whole Foods near you, but how fun?! Shoutout to Sweet and Sara for being the first brand to make a vegan marshmallow bunny – and a cute one at that! Not to mention all of their other adorable treats! 

    Okay, ready to see what’s in my Vegan Easter Basket?!

    Let’s start with the candies, chocolate, gum and sweet treats:

    Theo Organic Fair Trade Orange 70% Dark Chocolate
    Surf Sweets Peach Rings, Organic Fruity Bears, Watermelon Rings
    Amy’s Organic Andy’s Dandy Sunny Candy Bar
    Hail Merry Dark Chocolate Macaroon Merry Bites
    Simply Gum Ginger and Mint Natural Chewing Gum

    Vegan Easter Basket Ideas. Filled with goodies like vegan candy, chocolate, savory snacks and easter treats, along with beauty finds, vegan reads & "eggs"!

    Savory/Sweet Snacks:

    I Heart Keenwah Quinoa Puffs
    Alive & Radiant Kale Krunch
    365 Organic Dried Mango
    Dang Lightly Salted Toasted Coconut Chips

    Vegan Easter Basket Ideas. Filled with goodies like vegan candy, chocolate, savory snacks and easter treats, along with beauty finds, vegan reads & "eggs"!

    Vegan Specialty Finds:

    Coco-Roons Coconut Cashew Superfood Cookies

    Follow Your Heart VeganEgg (100% Plant Based Egg Replacer)

    Vegan Easter Basket Ideas. Filled with goodies like vegan candy, chocolate, savory snacks and easter treats, along with beauty finds, vegan reads & "eggs"!

    Magazine, Beauty Finds and Miscellaneous Goodies:

    Cook Vegan Magazine
    Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water
    Vega Greens On The Go Drink Mix in Matcha Honeydew and Mint Lemonade
    Alaffia Coconut Mint Fair Trade Lip Balm
    Plant Based Bee-Free Honee in Mint Flavor

    Did your hair stop growing? Mine was stuck at the Did your hair stop growing?

Mine was stuck at the same length too for a while. But now I know your scalp is an extension of your skin and needs to be nourished and taken care of in order for healthy hair growth. The scalp ages 6x faster than the skin on your face 🤯 it needs love and care, too. Especially if you want length and strength.

My hair oil is unique and made of different botanicals, antioxidants, omegas and nutrients your scalp is craving. If your hair is struggling but you eat healthy, you may want to consider a hair oil to fill in the gaps. I’ve noticed new thickness and growth from it being nourished and fed nutrients from within. The SHINE is the most surprising part!!! It’s honestly jaw-dropping. It keeps getting better because it’s a LIQUID VITAMIN for all hair types.
 
Figuring out the right custom plan for you is key. I want to help customize a plan for you because everyone should experience these results.

There will always be some new trend or way to make money online. But are they sustainable? Or just a way to make a quick buck? One thing we all have in common is we all want to build a long-term sustainable business to make an income from home!
