Hi all,<\/p>\n

As I indicated with my last post, I’ve been a little MIA lately. Work has been extremely busy, I am looking for a house, and I just \u00a0took a vacation to Cancun, Mexico! And the latter, is exactly what this post is about!<\/p>\n

Cancun is amazing. Clear blue skies, white sands, warm weather, aqua blue water, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and spectacular cuisine. Now you might be thinking – can Mexico really be vegan-friendly? You bet it is! I ate\u00a0like royalty the whole week! Most resorts include non-dairy soy or almond milk options for breakfast items\/ instead of coffee creamer. I was also able to eat a variety of items like the seasonal fruit bowl (which included fresh figs!!!) and toast.<\/p>\n

Here’s the view from my breakfast table:<\/p>\n

But I didn’t travel to Mexico to stay cooped up at a resort. I visited small towns and toured four Mayan ruin sites, and I am here to say that I was able to eat amazing food everywhere\u00a0I went, and I didn’t get sick from fruits\/ vegetables! One thing I learned – salsa is a TexMex concept, so salsa as we know it is a rare find in the Yucatan peninsula!<\/p>\n

Here are a few photos from the trip, followed by my favorite four restaurants around Cancun.<\/p>\n

Now onto the food!<\/p>\n

Vegan Planet<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cancun actually has a 100% vegan restaurant<\/a>\u00a0called “Vegan Planet.” The food is priced very similar to that of a vegan restaurant in the states, but the food is worth it! \u00a0Also, if you don’t know some Spanish<\/em>, this may not be the best option for you. It’s not in the hotel zone, and the wait staff are not exactly fluent in English. I ended up dining in at Vegan Planet<\/a> twice while in Cancun. I highly recommend the Enmoladas which are basically enchiladas with a vegan mole (chocolate) sauce. It’s a perfect mix of sweet and savory. Additionally, do\u00a0not<\/span> leave this restaurant without having dessert! My sister ordered the chocolate crepas, and I had cheesecake. Both were so, so good. The cheesecake rivaled\u00a0some of the best I’ve ever had!<\/p>\n
