Fluffy Vegan Aquafaba Brownies {gluten- & oil-free} #vegan #oilfree #glutenfree #aquafaba #brownies These brownies have GOT TO BE the absolute favorite brownies we've ever made. These fluffy vegan aquafaba brownies are super moist, fluffy and decadent YET free of gluten, oil, and refined sugars say whaaaat. It took a few tries for me to perfect these, and I figured out that aquafaba was the magic ingredient I was missing to make it all happen.

Chris and I are hoping to make our trip to Colorado a yearly tradition as it has been two years in a row that we visited and stayed at one of our favorite hotels + saw a show Red Rocks Amphitheater, and it's safe to say we fell in love with it all. With that, we thought it was only fitting to create a "Vegan in Colorado" guide to round up our favorite spots in the area to help you plan your trip if you ever visit :)

Vegan in Colorado + The St.Julien Hotel 2017 sweetsimplevegan.com #vegan #colorado #vegantravelSt. Julien Hotel | Boulder, CO

We partnered up with the St. Julien Hotel (see last year's post here), and not only worked on a photography project with them, but were also fortunate enough to stay and review the hotel. The hotel is located in a prime spot of Boulder. It is walking distance from Pearl Street (aka Downtown Boulder where it's poppin'), and Chris and I found ourselves there almost every day on our trip. On weekend nights the hotel has live music and dancing, and you can also check out a ton of street performers, live music, and events happening at different restaurants on Pearl St. just a short walk away.Vegan in Colorado + The St.Julien Hotel 2017 sweetsimplevegan.com #vegan #colorado #vegantravel

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend :) After traveling for the last week, I honestly couldn't have been more excited to get back into the kitchen creating recipes for you! I was in Miami on set with Omstars >> we partnered up to create a brand new wellness video series, "10 Steps to A Sweet Simple Vegan Life", that will be launching late 2017/early 2018 on their platform! I shared my top 10 tips to those wishing to improve their health, making this a guide that I wish I had when I first went vegan. I poured my heart into this, and I am still so shocked that it even happened, and I will update you when it's live! It was such an amazing opportunity and experience, and it was definitely nerve wrecking (I stuttered/jumbled up my words about a million times ????) but I figured it out in the end and I learned so much. If you have the chance to check out Omstars I would highly recommend it! It is basically a "netflix for yogis" as they say, and they share a wide variety of yoga courses, educational courses and wellness series with guest teachers just like the one I filmed!
