With the New Year here, many of us are back on that health kick, trying to reach our own lifestyle goals. Maybe you want to incorporate more fruits & veggie into your diet or maybe you’re looking for inspiration on different meals to try out. Whatever it may be, I’m here to help you! If you’re in need of a veganized cheese ball recipe or you want advice on cruelty-free products – I will gladly help in any way I possibly can. Always feel free to reach out to me, via comments or by email if you would like to request a recipe or have a product you’re wanting to know more about.
Starting off the year right with a smoothie bowl that has a unique twist. I teamed up with Simple Truth to bring you all a delicious and easy way to eat even better, without sacrificing taste or compromising your sweet tooth. Smoothie bowls are an excellent option for breakfast. It’s essentially a smoothie, with a thicker consistency, poured into a bowl and covered with toppings. You can really go crazy, I love to add chia seeds, coconut flakes, frozen/fresh fruits and in today’s recipe, tahini!
You might have dabbled with adding almond or peanut butter into your morning smoothie, but have you tried tahini? It might sound strange, but I swear it’s delicious. If you enjoy the flavor of tahini. If not, definitely feel free to substitute for your favorite nut or seed butter of choice.
I’m so excited to announce that I will be creating recipes with Simple Truth products this year. I passionately believe in their level of quality and want you all to know this partnership will be a regular occurrence in 2016. I am so honored to have this opportunity to collaborate with a brand I believe in. I hope you all will love and appreciate these recipes as if they were like normal – I promise I would never steer you wrong. I’m advocating for a vegan lifestyle and using a specific brand of the usual products, nothing has changed. Thank you all for your continued support – let’s make 2016 even better!

This recipe looks delicious!!!! I can’t wait to see what other recipes you come up with!!!
Thanks Ana! This month has a couple others that are pretty amazing, if I do say so myself – can’t wait for you to see them! <3
Tahini is life!! I literally put it in and on everything! This smoothie bowl looks wonderful, I love the color! Congrats about Simple Truth! I’m looking forward to seeing more creations. <3
YUS! Especially roasted veggies, SO GOOD! Thank you so much, I’m really excited about this opportunity. Still can’t believe it <3
I love tahini, I could seriously add it into anything and everything! Apple sauce, on the other hand, I have never made a smoothie with. Can’t wait to try it!
Me too! I’m interested in what you’ll think of this combo, I love adding apple sauce to my smoothies <3
This looks so yummy! Awesome collaboration! I LOVE Simple Truth and actually have that exact same jar of Tahini in my cabinet. They make really great quality and affordable products. I am so excited because they just started rolling out their line of household cleaning products in my area and I want to try them all! So far, the dish soap is working really good for me. I wish they would expand to paper products, personal hygiene, and maybe even vegan dog food/treats in the future!
Thank you so much, Alison! I’m really loving all of their products so far, their mock meats are pretty amazing too. Looking forward to trying out more, let me know if you have any specific recommendations 😀 That would be amazing if they expanded the line to include more, maybe one day they will!
