MAKING ELIVE FOOD TO LIVE BY

Julie Atri is a chef, mother, entrepreneur, and business owner. She is the creative force behind her company called Elive Food. Elive Food is a Vegan food line, which is dedicated to providing nutritious, and delicious Plant-based Vegan food for their customers. Everything is Organic, local (whenever possible), grain-free, egg-free, and cruelty-free. Her products vary from cashew cheesecakes to variations of raw pesto and raw sauces, to grain-free cauliflower pizza crusts and burger buns.

Julie grew up in a vegetarian family in New Delhi, India, where she learned Ayurvedic teachings and way of life which she incorporates into her food creations. After migrating to Boston, USA at the age of 14 Julie was faced with limited to almost nonexistent vegetarian options and fell into experimenting with a variety of diets. It was when she moved to Los Angeles CA that she decided to take her health into her own hands and return to her roots and dive more into a whole food plant-based vegan lifestyle.

One of her passions is to use Indian cooking influences and spices to create high nutrition, mouthwatering dishes. She is the mother of an 11-year-old daughter and proud of her whole household that is living a whole-food plant-based organic vegan lifestyle. Her desire and hope is to show all people that a vegan lifestyle is not only possible but enjoyable and delicious. She believes that one person’s meal shouldn’t require another life to be sacrificed. There is a balance in living with respect for all-natural things which brings about its own order and discipline that is immensely beautiful. Julie believes that we must preserve and protect this balance so that future generations can enjoy what mother earth has to offer.

ANYTHING WITH VEGAN CHEESE SAUCE IS PURE PERFECTION

This dish uses white quinoa, ginger, and a variety of vegetables that make up a delicious and incredibly filling meal. What tops this dish off is drizzling a super cheeezy sauce all over it.
