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! You can use "SWEETSIMPLEVEGAN" for 30 days free :)

Vegan Eggfruit Ice Cream {oil + refined sugar-free} sweetsimplevegan.com #eggfruit #icecream #exotic #vegan #oilfree #glutenfree #coconut #icecream #veganicecream #miamifruit Why haven't I added freeze dried fruit to ice cream a long time ago?! Freeze dried fruit is a great addition to ice cream mixes as they do not contribute any additional water content + add in a concentrated fruit flavor. This allows you to keep your ice cream creamy and dreamy while also at maximum flavor. Today I decided to experiment with eggfruit (also known as canistel) and I can 100% say that you should get your hands on some and try this out for yourself because it was delicious-- not too sweet, dreamy and creamy + the perfect punch of flavor.Vegan Eggfruit Ice Cream {oil + refined sugar-free} sweetsimplevegan.com #eggfruit #icecream #exotic #vegan #oilfree #glutenfree #coconut #icecream #veganicecream #miamifruit

Roasted Kale Salad w/ Easy Hummus Dressing {oil-free} sweetsimplevegan.com #kale #hummus #kalesalad #30daysofgreen #healthychallenge #easyvegan #kalehackI know that it may be difficult for some to eat raw kale in a salad as it naturally has a slightly bitter flavor, but a great way to serve it if that is the case is to roast it first! Not only does it add a new layer of texture to this salad, it brings out a whole new flavor in the kale. I made this recipe in collaboration with PlantPure Communities, a nonprofit organization that was formed partly as an outgrowth of the 2015 hit movie PlantPure Nation directed by Nelson Campbell. In order to celebrate Earth Day, they have created a 30 day challenge to eat leafy greens every day of the month of April called #30daysofgreen. #30DaysofGreen Challenge sweetsimplevegan.comPart of their work is to raise awareness about nutrition research, much of which was led by Nelson’s father, Dr. T. Colin Campbell in the book The China Study, and they strive to promote the benefits of a whole food, plant-based lifestyle in a way that is accessible to a diverse audience. Their social media challenge will provide everything from recipes and nutritional information to cooking tips and health advice–all relating back to the importance of daily greens! 

Do you have any foods that immediately make you giddy, weak at the knees, turn you into a heart eyes emoji? Kabocha squash is is that for me-- I just can't get enough of it!

I had never attempted to cook kabocha squash as I had heard a lot of how inconvenient it was to cut and prepare it at home. But in reality, I realized that it is SO EASY to prepare kabocha squash-- prebaking it is the KEY to easing this process.

I want you all to be able to enjoy this god sent vegetable (seriously, it will change your life :P), so I put together a step-by-step tutorial and video to do just that.How To Prepare Kabocha Squash {easy + oil-free} sweetsimplevegan.com
