ORGANIC REMIX is a free informational source, devoted to an organic and sustainable lifestyle, holistic health practices, a nurtured environment, renewable technologies and consciousness-based education for all.

It was created by Olia Saunders, a New York based graphic designer and photographer, organic lifestyle enthusiast, yoga teacher and a non-violent food advocate.

The impetus for this blog was driven by her passion to share information gathered over many years of research. It is dedicated to like-minded people who want to learn from and share knowledge with each other, thus helping to improve our world by making conscious decisions and ultimately, benefit from a holistic and sustainable lifestyle.

I was lucky enough to be contacted by Olia, who wanted to share the things she is truly passionate about- organic, vegan and raw food being one of them! Olia is truly inspirational! The website is out of this world, and you can tell she is truly passionate about what she does. She wants us to live the best life we can, and reaches out to her audience through education and awareness. She features yours truly in her latest blog post, and shares some Vegie Head recipes! Keep spreading the Vegie Head love!!

You would be SHOCKED at the amount of times I have been asked this question.

I was floored by the sheer amount of people who had no idea how easy and cheap it is 
to eat healthy, vegie based foods.


You don't need a lot of 'fancy' foods. Most of it you can buy from your local health food store, market or supermarket.

My top tips:

-Buy fruit and vegies IN SEASON.

This is so easy to do, yet so many people are buying watermelons in winter, and buying mandarins in summer. The best way I have found to do this, is to buy your produce online at http://www.missorganic.com.au

At Miss Organic, they actually buy only what is fresh and in season. That means that in the long run, it is not only better quality, but it also saves you money- as you are not spending as much on fruit and vegies out of season. 

-Buy grains and legumes in bulk and soak them!

This is a simple step that a lot of people forget. Before legumes and beans came in cans, THEY HAD TO BE SOAKED! 

The night before I use them, I will put whatever bean I am cooking the next night in 
fresh, purified water and a squeeze of lemon juice. When I am ready to cook, I simply rinse them and boil them until they are tender (cooking time depends on the legume).


I buy all of my grains and legumes from Discount Health Foods at South Melbourne Market :http://www.dhfoods.com.au
