Every August marks the start of our major annual fundraising campaign! We are now entering our seventh year as a nonprofit organization! Thanks to you, we continue to spread the word far and wide about the transformational power of whole food, plant-based nutrition. 🙌🥬

📸Here is a recap our past year of work with the Esselstyn Foundation!👉

Presentation, demos, and dinners with Medical School Students, High Schoolers, First Responders, Community Centers, Lifelong Learning Programs, Senior Centers, Physician Assistants, and our 2026 Kaleblazers!🙌

“The plant-based movement is heavily rooted in a ground-up approach. Grassroots progress is propelled by local advocates, educators, and community members shifting habits within families, schools, and workplaces. It is that simple.” -Dr. Esselstyn 🥬

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the past year of donations and support! We could not do it without you. Onward with plants and love!🌱

After collecting bio markers and blood levels, the Colorado Springs Fire Department decided to take action to address what the results revealed. In doing so, they reached out to partner with the Esselstyn Foundation! 🙌💙

We joined them LIVE in Colorado Springs at the fire station for a presentation about the power of whole food plant-based nutrition to prevent and reverse lifestyle related diseases —and to make delicious food! 🥬

Firefighters inherently have a lifestyle that stresses them more than others. Their sleep schedule is not their own. They’re exposed to all sorts of pollutants and chemicals along with traumas of the human condition. 🚒

What they can work with is their choice of what to eat—how to fuel themselves to be the healthiest citizens for the public whom they’ve sworn to protect. 🔥

The Esselstyn Foundation is thrilled about this partnership and stands in awe of this unique fire department for many reasons: They openly support educating firefighters, their community and family members about whole food, plant-based nutrition—and, as we all know, food is often treated like politics of religion: something hard to discuss openly. So a tip of the hat to Ian, Troy, and Deputy Chief Jamie, the leadership team that ushered in this powerful information. 🔥👩‍🚒

Another reason we are so impressed with this fire department is the unique peer-support program they have created and implemented with astounding, success, and internal support, love and care. They are all we would ever hoped for in a fire department.

Thank you for the opportunity to partner with you. Onward with plants and love!🙌🥬

Less than $7 for three plant-based meals‼️

For our most recent presentation of “Plant-Based on a Budget” we shopped at Aldi’s and found everything we needed for: banana bread, oatmeal, a bedazzled hummus-stuffed-pita, and a Panin-ed baked potato bowl! 🙌🥙🥔🍌

Please contact the Esselstyn Foundation to partner with us for one, or a series of presentations with your group/nonprofit/community for FREE at [email protected]📧

🥬WE ARE BACK!🥬Are you interested in helping us spread the good word about the transformational power of whole food, plant-based nutrition?

We have learned over the years that the plant-based movement is a ground-up movement. That is, progress in the trenches of the movement is most often made possible by the tireless and committed efforts of lone champions in their local communities who are pushing against institutional, social, and community inertia. These change agents are doing their best to enlighten those around them about plant-based nutrition within their families, churches, workplaces, hospitals, or schools, among other places.

So, to support these heroes, we are so thrilled to be launching 🥬2026 KALEBLAZERS PROGRAM🥬, an initiative that will actively and financially support interested individuals who are highly motivated to bring the plant-based message to their local communities via in-person gatherings. The focus of these small, intimate, localized events will be to:

1️⃣Share key information and current research about the transformational power of WFPB nutrition.

2️⃣Exchange healthy, plant-based foods and recipes.

3️⃣Establish the foundation for the creation of local plant-based communities.
