So I have been in Australia for just over a week now, and I have already crossed one thing off of my bucket list... COCOWHIP! You guys... if you are ever in Australia, look up cafes that serve Cocowhip because it honestly changed my life. It was amazing. It's vegan soft serve made from coconut water and it's not even bad for you. How much better can it get?

Salted Caramel Cocowhip

On Thursday my Aunt and I went on a little trip to Sydney to attend a raw vegan cooking workshop at Sadhana Kitchen. The workshop itself was amazing. It was so inspiring. The owner of Sadhana Kitchen, Maz, was so knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. It was so great to learn more about the way that I eat, to encourage me to keep going in the direction that I'm headed. My Aunt also learned a lot, and it opened her eyes to vegan eating, and some of the reasons that people choose to eat this way. Everything we learned cleared up any misconceptions about the nutritional value of a vegan diet. I really wish I was filming it so that I could send it to everyone who asks me if I get enough protein.


Of course, before attending the workshop, we had to try Cocowhip. Sadhana Kitchen offers three different sundaes... Tim Tam, Wagon Wheel, and Salted Caramel. We both went for the Salted Caramel and I am so happy about that decision. It's crazy because you would think a salted caramel sundae has to be super unhealthy, but it wasn't at all. The caramel sauce was made out of superfoods, and the caramel slice on top was fully raw, made from all natural ingredients and no refined sugars. It is so much easier than we all think to find nourishing foods that will meet our sweet, sugary cravings.

I also ate 3 meals at Sadhana... Vegan Lasagne, Vegan Eggs Benedict (made with avocados instead of eggs), and a Coconut Curry. Everything was delicious and it was all packed with nutrients so I didn't have to feel guilty about anything that I ate. I always get so excited at vegan restaurants because there is so much to choose from, rather than a menu at a regular restaurant where there are usually only one or two options.

I am literally so obsessed with Sadhana Kitchen, I will definitely be going back to try everything else on the menu. Also going to travel Australia just to try every flavour of Cocowhip that the different cafes offer. If you are ever in Sydney, whether you're vegan or not, I really recommend that you check out Sadhana Kitchen.
