CORNBAOBAB59 (1)A creamy, vegan, oil-free and low-fat recipe for a soup, sauce, or even a dip. I created this with the intention of it being a soup, but I discovered that it could be enjoyed it in various ways. I couldn't decide which way I loved most, so I photographed and shared them all with you below. BaobabFarmersMarketA couple of weekend's ago, I visited the Hollywood Farmer's Market and came home with the beautiful organic produce pictured above, some of which inspired this recipe.

JACKFRUITHUMMUS13When visiting the LA Wholesale Produce District, I make sure to try and visit Greenfield Imports to see if I can pick up a jackfruit. After opening and cleaning the fruit, a myriad of jackfruit seeds always remains. For a while, I was boiling them to enjoy with salads or as a snack, but a girl could only eat so much and they grew unenjoyable after the fourth or fifth jackfruit I had brought home. I started to compost, and even just dispose of the seeds, but felt guilty after doing so and knew that there needed to be another way to make use of these. After brainstorming a few ideas with my auntie, this recipe was born and I had to share it with you all as soon as I could. 

I'm excited to share that my good friend Tess Masters, The Blender Girl, has recently released her newest book, The Blender Girl Smoothies. This book if filled with 100 different smoothie recipes using herbs, spices, greens, oils, and superfood combinations that will take you on a flavor journey that I can honestly say you have never been on before ;) Healthy smoothies that look gorgeous, taste amazing, and offer big nutritional bang-for-your-buck, could you ask for anything more?SSVBLENDER0935I still remember the first day I met Tess.

Take advantage of the beautiful weather and celebrate the summer season with with your friends and family with a party! Healthy menu planning for celebrations like these can be stressful and sometimes force you to turn to those not-so-healthy quick and easy prepared foods at the grocery stores/restaurants. To prevent that, I have compiled for you a list of ideas and information that I hope will inspire you to make healthier choices for your next gathering.

I am asked what the heck I could possibly grill as a vegan, and the answer to that is not simple, as there are so many options  ;)

jackfruithowtographicJackfruit is definitely an intimidating fruit! It's appearance is jurassic, as I have heard it described, and it is the largest born tree fruit in the world. Did you know that they are capable of reaching 100 pounds? Oh what I would do for 100 pounds of jackfruit :) But have no fear, Sweet Simple Vegan is here to help you cut through your very first jackfruit at home!Jackfruit17
