The morals, attitudes, and incredible inclusivity Vickie and Larissa have beautifully achieved are all things the world could use a lot more of. When you are brand new to these lifestyles, nothing feels worse than judgement and criticism from strict, militant members who treat you like the...Read full review »

Love listening to you Vickie and Larissa! I’ve been vegan for 10 years and am a long time fan of Vegetarian Zen. Have listened to all of your podcasts 3 times and the third time is just as good as the first! Most recently, I had lost my passion and enthusiasm for a vegan lifestyle. Sometimes it...Read full review »

Love your podcast! You are very relatable! I’ve been a vegetarian for 39 years, but sad to say have never loved vegetables 🤭 As my husband says, you’re not a vegetarian, you’re a non- meat eater... I’ve abused sugar for 50+ years and now having deleterious health issues. It’s really a struggle...Read full review »

I absolutely love listening to vegetarian zen! The women are so nice and relaxing. They know no vegetarian is perfect and give good food option ideas. I listen to them at work and they make me feel better about becoming a vegetarian! Love you guys! -Carly

I finally found someone to help me figure out what I can eat! I’ve never liked meat, but found out six years ago that I have a red meat allergy. At the same time I found out I have severe gluten allergy. I was fine because I didn’t like meat, but still had eggs abs milk products. Well 2020...Read full review »

I love listening to Vickie and Larissa; it’s like having my close friends over. Such a warm nonjudgmental conversation! Having recently had a bruising experience with a very ethical vegan, I especially appreciate the gentle tone these two maintain. Thanks. And keep up the great podcasts!
Saltman52 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/20
Everyone says that this is the least judgemental and most inclusive vegetarian podcast they listen to, and I agree. My partner is a Pescatarian who heavily leans towards Vegan-no dairy, no eggs, no meat; she eats very limited amounts of fish. And I am veg curious, primarily omnivore. To my point,...Read full review »

After a trying day, I like to turn on this podcast and listen on my drive home. I always learn something new, and their show notes are amazingly detailed. I also enjoy listening to their genuine laughter. So, cheers from Ohio!
Mama_Mosh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/20
It’s so refreshing to hear people like Vickie and Larissa side-step some of today’s “food elitism” and help us stay focused on what really matters: making the best food choices we can given our own health and personal circumstances. The tips, ideas, resources, and attitude you promote are truly...Read full review »

I’m a longtime listener and enjoy the relaxed approach that Larissa and Vickie take to plant-based eating. They have a great chemistry and are always engaging - and I’m grateful for the information they’ve dispensed over the years. Keep up the swell job! Michael Burbank, CA

These ladies make me strive to be more positive and upbeat in my own vegan/gluten free life. When I get down, they always pick me up with a relevant and interesting topic. A great place to go for inspiration and information! From a fan fro Milwaukee

I found Vegetarian Zen when I first went plant-based a few years ago. I had just ran my second marathon and was craving normalcy amongst my “carnivore” friends. Often teased and badgered with the protein questions, I needed some words of encouragement and wisdom. I was introduced to podcasts by...Read full review »

If you are vegetarian, vegan or veg curious, this is the podcast for you. Great information in an informative, conversational presentation! No judgements, Vicki and Larissa make everyone feel welcome (just like in their awesome Facebook group - the peas and carrots) Thanks ladies for what you do 🤗
rejoicingmom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/29/19
The hosts are deligthfully upbeat and informative. I never feel like the pocast is padded just to fill time or just to publish "something" to meet a quota. They share their personal preferences but take the middle ground to respect other points of view. A "must-listen."Read full review »

I've had many phases in my life of vegetarian/vegan.
