Bryan Johnson, a visionary tech entrepreneur, is on a mission not just to extend life but to conquer death itself. His ambitious anti-aging initiative, known as the Blueprint protocol, is a comprehensive approach that redefines the boundaries of human longevity. A central component of his regimen is a strict vegan diet, integrated with cutting-edge scientific interventions, aiming to turn the age-old dream of immortality into a tangible reality.

Extensive research now confirms that a vegan diet substantially reduces environmental damage. Studies illustrate that plant-based diets lead to 75% fewer emissions related to climate change, water pollution, and land use than diets rich in meat. By adopting veganism, individuals can dramatically decrease their ecological footprint, not just in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, but also in reducing land and water use and mitigating the loss of biodiversity.

Ingredients you’ll need 

• Cashews: Most orange creamsicle popsicle recipes are made creamy with ingredients like heavy whipping cream, vanilla yogurt, greek yogurt, and whole milk. Of course these ingredients aren’t vegan so we opted for using raw cashews. It’s the perfect neutral tasting creamy base and makes these popsicles a healthier alternative! 

• Water: You can use either water or unsweetened plant-based milk like almond milk for a creamier frozen treat.  

• Maple syrup: In order to keep these popsicles refined-sugar-free, we opted for maple syrup instead of granulated sugars. If needed, you can substitute another liquid sweetener such as agave. 

• Vanilla extract: A small splash of vanilla adds additional sweetness and depth of flavor and makes these popsicles taste like vanilla ice cream! 

• Orange zest and turmeric: These ingredients are optional, but add a boost of orange flavor and color. 

• Salt: ​Also optional, but we always recommend adding a small pinch of salt to desserts to balance the sweetness!
