Vegetarian Star

Kara Lang had the honor of being the youngest woman ever to be named for Canada’s National Soccer team, scored 34 goals in 92 games in her international career, played in two World Cups and represented Canada at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

Now retired, she’s started a new career as a soccer analyst for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

A vegan since a teenager, she’s prepared all her essential on-the-road eating staples, like instant oatmeal and protein powders, and it’s certain her diet will give her as much energy as a broadcaster as it did on the field.

“I learned that not only could I maintain strength and stamina as an athlete on a vegan diet, but that my health could actually improve and consequently so could my performance and my ability to recover,” writes Lang on her website.

“On top of the animal cruelty issues and the health benefits associated with veganism, I also became aware of the positive environmental impact that a plant based diet can have.”

KaraLang.Tumblr.com is a place where you can read more of Lang’s vegan thoughts and grab recipes for awesome-sounding dishes like, “Pumpkin Pie Smoothie,” “The Best Damn Banana Bread You Ever Had,” “Green Monster Smoothie” and “Rhubarb Apple Loaf.”

All vegan. All cruelty-free.

Score!
