New Sarma (Pure Food & Wine) Interview With Veggie Girl Power

New Sarma (Pure Food & Wine NYC) Interview With ‘Veggie Girl Power’

Full FTC Disclosure: Sarma is like my BFF x 20. But I’m not the only one that likes her… Byron Crawford’s BFF, Dream Hampton loves her too!:

Also another disclosure, I was really effing hungry when I read this interview. :) Anyways, here’s a teaser of the interview and link at the bottom for the full read:

WISDOM: What is a favorite life tip or quote of wisdom that you have shared with the world?
Sarma: Good question. Is it lame that I can’t think of anything? I’m not one of those people that tosses out quotes very often. My own personal favorite quote is one I can’t really share. Or, it would sound all wrong if I didn’t explain why I like it, and would take too long to explain. But one of my other favorites came to me from my friend Dhrumil who always tweets good quotes. “As long as you don’t forgive, who or whatever it is will occupy rent-free space in your mind.” (Isabelle Holland). That one resonated with me because it’s something that took me a while to learn but it really is so much more freeing to let things go, than hang on and stew.

DRIVE: Yawn, sunrise, what is the first food/drink you reach for to start your “Veggie Girl Power” day?
Sarma:First I go for water with lemon or lime. Then juice. Right now I’m all about these juices we make and bottle each night at the restaurant using a Norwalk press juicer. My favorite is called Swan Greens. It’s cucumber, spinach, and dandelion greens with a little grapefruit, pear and a touch of tarragon, spearmint, and yuzu. I mix in some thawed E3-Live, and sometimes some Vitamineral Green powder, and then a few drops of liquid stevia to sweeten it some more. I’m hooked. If I don’t have this in the morning I feel completely deprived. Later on when I get hungry again, I go for One Lucky Duck chocolate or vanilla crispies with hemp milk and a sprinkle of raw cacao nibs and a few goji berries. It’s a good energy wake-up cereal. Yummy.

HEART: As a “Veggie Girl Power” trailblazer you inspire so many girls/women, who or what was your inspiration at the start of your journey to today?
Sarma: Thank you! I didn’t have any specific person that was consistently inspiring, though there were a lot of people I found inspiring in various ways. I think I get more inspired by Richard Branson than anyone else, but that’s not to do with raw or vegetarianism, of course. He’s more my inspiration for how I want to build my company, and change the world. He reminds me that it’s okay to go against the norm, to make things fun, and to want to pursue projects or ideas that some people may think are crazy. When someone calls me crazy, it only boosts my confidence and determination.
