I always say I’m vegan, except for dessert.

Back in the day finding anything vegan was darn near impossible in a commercial setting. Once month my mom would drive me to a natural grocery store and I would stock up. But if I wanted to go out to dinner with friends or eat fast food, I was pretty much out of luck. So I ate a lot of meals at home, and just accepted that I’d miss out on some things.

It was dessert that broke me. Dessert that converted my diet from vegan back to vegetarian.

But here we are in 2020 with SO MANY OPTIONS! Not only are vegan items widely available, the popularity of the lifestyle has provided a gold mine of yummy recipes to make at home.

Since dessert is my weakness, I’m pumped that there are tons of delicious vegan cakes. Whether you’re looking for chocolate or something fruity, there are so many amazing options.

Which vegan cake recipe are you going to bake first?

Do you believe in the adage “Breaksfast is the most important meal of the day”? One thing I’ve noticed is that if I start my day on a healthier path, I’m much more likely to keep it up throughout the day.

Most weekdays I start my day with coffee and something quick as I head into the work day. On the weekends, my family and I tend to do something a little bigger and often a little bit later in the day. Trips to our favorite Japanese bakery, smoothies, or even pancakes are often the weekend menu.

It’s really easy to fill your up breakfast with carbs, heavy sauces, and sugar. When I make plant-based or vegan choices, I feel sooooo much better (even when I’m eating something like a donut). Better for you vegan breakfasts are totally the way to start your (and my) day!

Try one of these vegan breakfast options that adds flavor and sets the tone for your plant-based or vegan menu.

Green Smoothie Bowl Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups of Vanilla So Delicious Organic Almondmilk with Cashew
• 1 cup frozen strawberries
• 1/2 cup cucumber, peeled & sliced
• 1 banana, sliced & frozen
• 2 cups spinach

How to Make:

Prepare strawberries, cucumber, banana, and spinach.  To save myself time on busy weekday mornings, I try to prep ingredients for smoothies in advance.  By freezing all of the ingredients together, I can plop them in a blender and be ready in a snap.  So feel free to double recipes to have extras on hand when needed.
Add frozen produce to a blender and add 1 1/2 cups of  So Delicious Organic Almondmilk with Cashew .

The first green smoothie I served my kiddos ended up with them thinking it was an April Fool’s Joke.  But they adore cucumber, which the recipe favors.  It made for an easy transition into new flavors and new nutrients.  Another selling point was the heart-shaped cucumbers slices atop the bowl.

A big selling point for me is knowing that they’re drinking organic, non-GMO, soy-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free So Delicious.  The year has been great so far with returning to nutrition in our family, and So Delicious is taking us back to delicious basics.  The almondmilk has no sweetners, fortifications, colors, or preservatives.  Even the bottle is good stuff!  The packaging is at least 80% plant-based, instead of plastic.

“It’s So Delicious. It’s that simple.”
