Hey Everyone!
After almost 7 years, we are both happy and sad to announce that Lively Up Yourself will be coming to and end in Bend. Our last day of operation will be on December 31st 2025.
We are bringing a little girl into the world and are moving back to the Midwest to be with our families!
We want to make a SHOUTOUT to all of you!!!
Opening up this food truck here in Bend (on a total whim!) has been hands down the most amazing and challenging experience for us. We had no idea we would get this far and have the absolute most solid customer base out here. From the local regulars (you know who you are), to the friends we have made through the truck, to all of our employees who have helped us out, to the people on vacation or traveling through Bend, and especially to the guy who told us he smoked ayawaska and it told him to quit eating meat... it has been an absolute honor serving you. Thank you for trying and loving our style of vegan food. The community here is so special to us.
We also need to give a HUGE shout out to the Midtown Yacht Club!!! They took a huge chance on us, and it could not have worked out better for us. We are SO grateful for the opportunity to make our mark here as good vegan food, nestled in the middle of the trucks. We could not have asked for better management and neighbors at the Yacht Club.
Also, we would like to give a shout out to the Bunk + Brew for giving us our very first opportunity at their lot all those years ago.
Some other shout outs that need to go out are to our dogs for being our constant loving companions, amd to our families for the unconditional support from so far away.
And also to Bob Marley for our namesake!
We will be leaving the physical truck in its place, and it will be taken over by a wonderful woman named Brandy, who is SO EXCITED for her new adventure into the food truck world of Bend! Her truck "Potluck" will be taking over in our place. She has some great flavors and ideas for you all and some really tasty vegan options!!.... including a tofu Bahn Mi!!
Thank you all SO MUCH for this absolutely amazing experience, as we enter a whole new chapter of our life, we will never forget each and every one of you!
MUCH LOVE!!!

We have been serving up delicious vegan comfort food to Central Oregon since September 2019!
We put a lot of love and labor into making almost ALL of our menu items from scratch. We use organic ingredients and source locally as much as possible.
The goal of our food cart is to share our love for vegan cooking with the world. It’s what brought us together as a couple, and it’s what connects us with our customers.
Our passion lies in veganizing familiar and decadent dishes, in the most delicious way possible, while still maintaining a level of health.
We like to keep our menu lively and have a variety of options, and we feature a special every now and then to keep things interesting.
