Fabulous Vegan Recipes

Happy October! My favorite season is well on its way. Ever since I bought my Nutribullet, I've been an expert at making creamy cashew milk. I mean, it's the best milk ever. It tastes delish and it has a rich consistency, I am craving it almost everyday. I figured out a way to make it quickly even if you haven't soaked your cashews overnight. Have no fear, make it as soon as you get home from the grocery store, make it at any time and you will have super creamy cashew milk in minutes.

Despite writing out and testing this recipe on another warm, humid day here in New York City, it's finally fall and my morning coffee has reflected the season as of late. But first I must tell you how I celebrated the first day of fall!

Oatmeal is my go-to breakfast. I also love coffee...so why not combine them? This is a strong, sweet version of oatmeal so you definitely need to love coffee. You can still add any toppings you wish, chocolate, peanut butter, they all work well with coffee flavor. Oatmeal is the BEST start to your day!

I've been in love with coconut oil for this entire winter season because it's the only thing that hydrates my skin.  I have super dry skin and by the end of the day, my face feels so tight and aggravated. Today I heated some coconut oil a little bit and put it on my face with amazing results; my face felt so smooth and silky. Along with a really dry face, my lips are chapped and peeling. Cue: this coffee scrub.

Today I went out early to Whole Foods to get coconut milk so I could make this delicious coffee drink. It was a cold, brisk awesome walk and WF was empty. Now I'm home and in the midst of drinking this beverage and I feel hugged, warm and comforted. I plan on taking these good vibes and doing some fiction writing after I write this blog post. This drink is full of healing, warming spices and a low low glycemic sweetener (yep, brown rice syrup). I know you will love this drink!

Why do I love dressing up coffee? I mean it's perfectly fine brewed and served all my itself but for some reason I want to mix in some creamy milk and sweeten it up and add a frozen, smoothie aspect to it. This creation was inspired by an instagram post that I found by The Floured Kitchen. It's creamy and rich and sweet and you can make it as healthy as you wish. Instead of making it with homemade ice cream, I bought Almond Dream cappuccino swirl ice cream. But I also have a chocolate peanut butter homemade gelato recipe here that would go great with this recipe.

I don't drink coffee often because 1) it's expensive and I always want a latte and 2) I'm sensitive to caffeine. But I do get cravings for it sometime because, with sweetened milk, it can be pretty tasty and I love the comfort and yumminess that comes with it. I have a new coffee shop across from my apartment so now it's that much easier to want coffee and lately I've given into my cravings.

I've been hitting the keys lately writing and blogging (I'm working on a fiction novel) and enjoying life in the big city. First off as you can see, I renamed my blog and I'm LOVING it! Fabulous Fit Food just didn't sit well with me, I found myself disliking it alot and the last couple weeks I have thought about what I want to rename this blog. I can't believe how many ideas I had and how many of my ideas were already taken by bloggers, Youtubers and health and wellness coaches. It got kind of frustrating so finally I just stopped thinking about it so much. I went home for my niece's 1st bday and just let go of the blog a little bit.
