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 :)

We appreciate the love they put into their products, being sure they are certified gluten-free and vegan when possible! :)[/caption] I grew up eating mochi, but never even imagined making it for myself at home. My mom used to buy it at the store (Trader Joe's), so I never really understood the origin of the dish or even the ingredients. It kind of blows my mind how unmindful my family and I used to be regarding what we consumed but I am grateful that we have now found a love and passion for health.Naturally-Sweetened Red Bean Mochi (Daifuku) {oil-free} sweetsimplevegan.com #vegan #refinedsugarfree #lowfat #datesweetened #healthy #mochi #daifuku
