Vegan Sweet Potato Brownies (hclf, gluten- and refined sugar-free)
As promised, I am finally sharing my recipe for my high carb, low fat, refined sugar and gluten-free Vegan Sweet Potato Brownies. Two chocolate recipes in one week? I must really love you guys...you're welcome.
The first time I made this recipe was in January 2015, the day I did a photo shoot with an old high school friend of mine at Arlington Garden in Pasadena, CA. She shot my new headshots, merchandise photos, and photos of me 'in-action'. You can see the photos here. 
Durian isn't commonly enjoyed in my home here in California, as it is quite expensive, and is a hit or miss for me since they are all sold frozen. But, however, when my mom comes home from the asian market and surprises me with a pack of frozen monthong durian...all for myself...I'm going to faceplant into it ;) 
Below are only products I have tried, as well as my daily routine at the end. Others that you may may be just as good, but I have used these all with success, and will be sticking to them because I am satisfied :) As usual,
This recipe is pho-nomenal. It is so pho-king delicious, you will love it, pho-sho. It's not only easy and pho-bulous, but it is also good pho-you, and you will be pho-ever grateful for this recipe.
Okay sorry, I had to get all of that off of my chest. But really, you're going to love this!
I'll be honest and say that prior to going vegan, I had traditional beef pho only once in my life. I know, I was shocked at myself since LA is filled with a plethora of pho restaurants. So, in order to truly know if this recipe was worthy of sharing on my website, I invited my friend Andy over to help me. He is vietnamese, and enjoys traditional beef pho weekly (I know, sad face), but I thought well maybe I could also inspire him to try making this with his family. And with the result of this recipe, I'm pretty sure I did just that. 
Ahhh, it's that time of year again. The fear of contracting an illness has gone up, and so has the use of immunity pills and flu shots. But why use those when you could get your immunity from whole, fresh, raw foods? Yeah, I'm talking a Raw Vegan Immune Boosting 'Flu Shots'. No chemicals, no nasties, just pure, simple, natural goodness.
