What Is Vegan Bacon?

Vegan bacon contains no animal ingredients. Instead, these plant-based protein sources boast ingredients like tempeh, seitan, soy, wheat, and beyond. They also come loaded with spices and sweeteners like molasses, maple syrup, paprika, and natural smoke flavoring. We can’t think of a better pairing for your vegan eggs and biscuits!

Just launched: Laughing in the Face of Chaos by Rudá Iandê

Exhausted from trying to hold it all together?
You show up. You smile. You say the right things. But under the surface, something’s tightening. Maybe you don’t want to “stay positive” anymore. Maybe you’re done pretending everything’s fine.

This book is your permission slip to stop performing. To understand chaos at its root and all of your emotional layers.

In Laughing in the Face of Chaos, Brazilian shaman Rudá Iandê brings over 30 years of deep, one-on-one work helping people untangle from the roles they’ve been stuck in—so they can return to something real. He exposes the quiet pressure to be good, be successful, be spiritual—and shows how freedom often lives on the other side of that pressure.

This isn’t a book about becoming your best self. It’s about becoming your real self.
