Chickpea Mag and a Cinnamon Blueberry Smoothie


I happen to run across this beautifully illustrated magazine and just had to share with you. If you haven't heard of this yet, you will definitely be glad that you have now. This is their fifth issue to date...you can preview the previous issues from their website, link is below. It's full of beautiful photography, inspiring recipes and so much more about the vegan community...please take a moment and be inspired !

This is their free online publication for Fall 2012....Chickpea Mag 

You can also order copies to thumb through and show your support so they can keep up the good work...

For more info visit their website...Chickpea Vegan Quarterly

As stated from their website....their mission in a nutshell...
  • bring the vegan community together in a positive way.
  • support fellow vegan artists, writers, and shop owners (and just the average vegan!)
  • banish the traditional ad-centered magazine layout.
  • introduce people to a whole foods, plant-based lifestyle, which works with both healthy food and decadent desserts.
  • create an emphasis on handmade and working from scratch, so that cooking becomes less of a chore and more of a thing to look forward to.
after reading plenty of beautiful, inspiring food and writing magazines, we were left wanting more. 
we thought, “why not have a place to showcase all of the ideas from vegans online, from people of all culinary levels? a place to celebrate and normalize veganism, to show non-vegans that living vegan is now more fun and rewarding than ever?” 
from there i modeled our mission around all whole foods, well-thought out stories and features, appealing to everyone, made beautiful to attract vegans and non-vegans. we’ve brought together so many great ideas, recipes, photography and more from fellow vegans in our online community, and showing the best of the best in a high quality way every season. as time goes by, our content changes to fit what the community wants, and we grow a little more every time.
