Ensenada Mexico bus Tour and 🌮 Staying Vegan in Ensenada: My Megaburros Restaurant Experience

noreply@blogger.com (Theveganlicious) — Sun, 07 Sep 2025 21:40:00 +0000

Vegetables Corn Tacos

Traveling as a vegan can be a beautiful adventure—and sometimes, a bit of a challenge. But during my recent cruise stop in Ensenada, Baja Mexico, I was thrilled to discover that staying true to my plant-based lifestyle didn’t mean sacrificing flavor or cultural experience.

After our guided bus excursion through the city you can watch the full tour here - (📍 Ensenada, Mexico Bus Excursion & Shopping Tour – August 27, 2025) We dined at Megaburros Restaurant, a casual spot with a surprisingly accommodating menu. I ordered a plate of soft tacos filled with sautéed vegetables, spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, carrots, and bell peppers, served alongside Mexican-style rice and refried beans topped with vegan-friendly cheese. A side of salsa added the perfect kick. It was colorful, hearty, and absolutely satisfying.

🍽️ What I loved most was how easy it was to customize the meal. The staff was friendly and open to adjustments, and the flavors were fresh and vibrant. It reminded me that with a little creativity and communication, vegan dining is possible almost anywhere even in places where plant-based options aren’t the norm.

If you’re planning a cruise or a visit to Ensenada, don’t hesitate to explore local spots like Megaburros. You might just find a meal that nourishes both your body and your travel spirit.

The Incredible Benefits of Ginger Root

noreply@blogger.com (Theveganlicious) — Wed, 07 Aug 2024 02:32:00 +0000

Nature's Health Booster"Ginger root offers numerous health benefits. It aids digestion, reduces nausea, and can help fight the flu and common cold. Ginger root also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can improve brain function and protect against heart disease. Additionally, it helps reduce muscle pain and soreness. I enjoy making ginger tea by boiling three pieces of fresh ginger root in a cup of water. This simple recipe is not only delicious but also maximizes the health benefits of ginger root. Sometimes, I also add Agarve for extra flavor

Tart Cherries May Improve Sleep.

noreply@blogger.com (Theveganlicious) — Tue, 08 Aug 2023 16:04:00 +0000

Tart cherries contain high concentrations of phytochemicals including melatonin, which is involved in the regulation of our sleep cycles. There has been mixed research as to whether cherries, and specifically cherry juice, is of benefit to those who have trouble sleeping but the signs are encouraging. I have difficulties getting and staying asleep so, I've decided to give these fresh cherries a try to find out if if will help me sleep. I ate about 8oz cup of cherries just before bedtime and about 25 minutes later I notice I became very tired and relaxed. I was trying to fight it off by staying up to finish a project I started on my pc but my eyes became to heavy to stay awake. I jumped into bed and dosed off in minutes, lol. They work for me!

Cherries are not for everyone!

Not everyone is able to enjoy cherries, as some people may have an allergy to the fruit. This can be a primary allergy, whereby you are allergic to the fruit, or secondary, when you are allergic to pollens from the same family of plants. A secondary allergy occurs as a result of cross reactivity, for example, if you are allergic to birch tree pollen you may experience an allergy to fruit such as cherries as well as others including apples, plums and peaches.As long as you do not have an allergy to the fruit, cherries make a valuable addition to the diet. Enjoy fresh when in season, or as a juice or dried.

Caution

Cherries are a natural source of salicylates, which some people may be sensitive to. Eating a lot of cherries may lead to diarrhea, gas, or bloating for those who have a salicylate sensitivity," cautions Leah Johnston, RDN

My Experience At Skinray Wax and Beauty Saturday May 7, 2022

7 hours ago

Definitely, one of the best in the business! Although it's been years since I've been to an esthetician, this was my first visit for treatment at Skinray. Everything from the ambiance to the aesthetician to the customer service and cleanliness is absolutely on point. Tajia is good at what she does and makes you feel comfortable from explaining what she is doing to you and asking you if you are okay while she proceeds to complete your treatment. I had the "Facial 4 u" and as you can see my before and after photo's, Tajia did an excellent job and bringing my skin back to moisture and to looking 100% than the before photo. Tajia provides a very nice gentle massage to your face after the treatment I had which included the microdermabrasion. I will see her in one month. I also purchased the c serum and a wash that are natural and animal free testing products for follow-up with the regime until I see Tajia again in 1 month for a follow-up treatment. I also received some free samples. You will not be disappointed when you come here, so what are you waiting for? lol
