Chai Spiced Hot Cocoa Mix In A Jar - DIY Vegan Holiday Gift sweetsimplevegan.com There's nothing like a warm cup of hot cocoa on a cold December day in front of the Christmas Tree :) Growing up, my family often gathered around the tree at night and my mom would make us a big pot of hot cocoa to share, so it is definitely a must have tradition for us every year. This year I thought it would be fun to make a homemade mix to gift to my family + you all as well. Instead of bringing you an average vegan hot cocoa mix, I'm going to share with you a chai spiced one!

_MG_2191I can't believe that it is April already, time is flying by this year! First off, I want to share that I had reached my 3 year veganniversary at the start of the Lenten Season! Well, there is a long story behind it all, but I first went vegan in 2012 for Lent, as a "diet" that I was going part ways with that Easter, but fortunately, did not. I was in and out of veganism for a bit at the start as I had only gone into it for weight loss, and it was hard for me to give up my old ways of living and to realize the beauty of this lifestyle. After a bit of "trial and error", I am now I am happy to say that I am vegan and never intend to live any other way. I am now a more compassionate, healthy, and inspired woman, and I thank veganism and all that has come along with it on this journey for helping me figure out who I was meant to become. ...now back to these chocolates, cause I know you all want some!

Durian alone is out of this world and satisfying, but with chocolate, oh my god this took it to a whole new level. Chocolate Durian Caramel Cups 18 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 ;)

Cocoa Cherry Protein Holiday Fudge (Gluten-free) My next recipe for this Holiday season, a Cocoa Cherry Holiday Fudge that is gluten-free AND packed with plant-based protein! So far, I have shared my Healthy Gingerbread Smoothie (low-fat) and my Easy Vegan Holiday Chocolate Bark, with a few more up my sleeve these next 5 days! Fudge has been an integral part of my family's Christmas celebrations ever since I can remember. My mom's friend Kathy makes a fudge that my dad absolutely cannot resist, but ever since I went vegan and my family has been more mindful of our diet, he knows that her fudge is not what he should be eating. He asked if I could make a protein packed vegan fudge recipe, so I played around in the kitchen and came up with this.
