Vegan Vigilante | Episode 3: Eatin' Vegan from the 99 Cents Only Store
by Jason Wrobel June 27, 2017
Welcome to the third episode of the Vegan Vigilante. This week, Sunwarrior challenged our good friend Jason Wrobel to up his game even more. We sent him to a 99 cent store to find all his ingredients. That’s right; we didn’t even allow him the extra cent of a dollar store.
Jason still has to make something delicious, healthy, and plant-based after his less expensive shopping trip. Unusual? You bet! Difficult? Oh yeah! Possible? We’ll have to wait and see what our celebrity chef can manage. At least we let him use his own equipment this time.
Jason finds himself walking the aisles, surprised to discover that there are some decently healthy options anywhere if you look hard enough. Did you know some 99 cent stores and dollar stores carry fresh produce? High-end grocery stores often reject food that is too ugly to display, like bananas that are too curvy or too short, apples that aren’t quite as red, or celery that is too green. Discount stores snatch these up. Same quality food at lower prices. They also buy regular produce in season. There are even organic options. We may have made this too easy on the Vegan Vigilante.
Jason easily bags fresh tomatoes, garlic, avocado, spaghetti squash, asparagus, bell peppers, and so much more. Sixteen dollars later, he has the ingredients to make a fantastic summer salad that could satisfy a group of foodies at a fancy dinner party. We’ll have to make next week harder.
Summertime brings with it the joy of longer days, sunny skies, and the chance to indulge in outdoor activities. However, the soaring temperatures also make it crucial to stay hydrated, which is why we have 6 essential tips for summertime hydration.
Did you know that detoxing has plenty of benefits? It can improve your digestion, help you manage your weight, and improve your skin, immunity, and mental clarity.

Summer is a time for kids to enjoy the outdoors, participate in fun activities, and revel in their break from school. With all the energy they expend, it's crucial to keep them fueled with nutritious snacks. Here are some ideas for healthy summer snacks that are perfect for kids.
Whether you're aiming to live healthier or achieve serious gains during your workouts, clean, quality results come from clean, quality protein. Proteins are the building blocks of every living cell in your body. They’re essential for various biological processes, such as weight management and regulating blood sugar levels, and for maintaining the structure of tissues and organs.
