My name is Ashley, I am a Plant based chef who helps Vegans, transitioning Vegans and anyone looking to live a healthier lifestyle reach their desired goals.I have been vegan for 5 years and when I started my journey I found it hard to find foods that felt comforting and like I wasn’t missing out. My goal was to help others feel good about making the healthier choice without sacrificing flavor.

My greatest motivation are my kids.
What does your workout routine look like?
I love practicing yoga so I start my days with 10-20 mins of yoga followed by some hit cardio in the afternoon.
What do you eat in a typical day to stay in shape?
I start my day with a glass of water followed by a key lime sea moss tea. My first meal is typically around 12 pm and it is usually avocado toast, açaí bowl or vegan eggs with plant based sausage. Around 3 pm I have a hearty snack this can be a smoothie or apples with almond butter. 6pm is dinner and my final meal I don’t have any restrictions on what I have it can be rice , pasta or any plant based meal. I finish my night with a cup of apple cider vinegar tea.
How do you maintain your hair while working out?
I try my best to wear my natural curls which hold better when I work out but when I do go for a blow out I wrap that baby up and put a baseball cap on.
