Vegetarian Star

Mother Nature Network says that Alicia Silverstone is a fan of Nicobella Vegan Organic Dark Truffles.

Has she already dropped the hints to hubby Christopher Jarecki that he needs to buy these before February 14 if he ever wants Pecan Crusted Seitan made for him again?

Nicobella replaces the ganache center that is usually comprised of cream and sugar, and instead sweetens with syrups of brown rice and agave.

Nicobella truffles come in varieties such as Walnut Flaxseed Crunch, Sunflower Banana Butter, Pumpkin Chai, Blueberry Almond, Green Ginger Tea and Pure Coco Bliss.

Alicia Silverstone gave the folks at Sweet Freedom Bakery a call requesting some vegan, gluten-free cookies.

The Philadelphia business responded, and hand delivered the Time Stands Still actress several goodies this past weekend, including chocolate chip cookie sandwiches.

Has Silverstone always known about the vegan delights in the city of brotherly love?

Or was she trying something new, looking to expand her list of favorite eating establishments?

Alicia Silverstone just embarked on a brand new project–a role in the Donald Margulies play Time Stands Still.

Alicia chatted with the NY Mag at one of her favorite veggie restaurants, Pure Food & Wine about her new role.

Alicia may be snacking on edamame and acai juice between Acts now, but it wasn’t always that way.

“I was a total meat-eater, are you kidding me? I was 21, and when the word health came up, it meant, ‘Oh, you’re telling me to lose weight.’ I had quite a bit of pressure about my weight and stuff. So I said, ‘Fuck you. I’m going to eat whatever I want. I don’t care.’ I just totally rebelled—I was anti-health. My love for animals is what saved me.”

After the NY Mag suggested Alicia’s character Mandy in Time Stands Still is somewhat like her Clueless character Cher-superficial and bubbly-Alicia insisted that was where the similarities ended.

“Cher was a teenage girl and Mandy is a professional person who runs entire events. She meets her lover at a launch party for a book on Darfur. Just like everybody, she’s had pain, but she’s not going to war.”

During her chat with Oprah, Alicia Silverstone brought up the subject of how being vegetarian helps you, um, do #2 better.

“I will say this,” Oprah said about being vegan. “Your poop is fabulous.”

“Don’t you want to bring your friends in and say ‘Look at this beautiful thing,’” Alicia added.

With all the fiber consumed from healthy vegetarian food like fruits and vegetables and beans and rice, you’ll always have art to showcase to your friends and family.

Oprah’s not vegan, but she did try the diet for 21 days as part of a cleansing.

Bet she misses the good ol’ days of plentiful poop.

As expected, Alicia included plenty of vegan substitutes for dairy products like Earth Balance Vegan butter, Follow Your Heart Soy Cheese and Vegenaise.

For meat substitutes, Alicia chose Gardein Chick’n Scallopini, Field Roast Sausages and Tempeh Bacon.

Alicia’s got a healthy appetite for vegan sweets as well…yum!

Alicia Silverstone visited the ladies of The View and brought some of her vegan chocolate peanut butter cups from her cookbook, The Kind Diet.

While Alicia was sharing her memories of her late Clueless co-star Britney Murphy, Sherri Shepherd sank her teeth into one.

“Is this vegetarian?” Shepherd asked?

Well, duh Sherri.

You’re talking to the greatest vegan celebrity cookbook author ever!

She’s mentioned before she wants to see Oprah naked, but chatting with her via satellite is almost as good.

Alicia Silverstone will have a segment on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Wednesday January 27.

Silverstone has briefly blogged on her website, TheKindLife, what you should expect.

“I was so excited and overwhelmed, it was such a blur! I think she asked me about poop… Needless to say, we laughed a lot!”
