Day Seven of the Valentine’s Day Challenge is Sweet Strawberry Sorbet!


This is a quick and healthy dessert you can make when you’re on the go and really want to treat your significant other to something sweet! I wanted to feature some healthier desserts for Valentine’s Day and this is one of them! It features no refined sugar as it only uses a bit of agave for extra sweetness. To make this dessert a little more decadent top it with a drizzle of melted chocolate or something coconut whipped cream. I hope you enjoy this simple and easy recipe!

Avocado Lime Sorbet!




This is the simplest recipe; it takes all of five minutes to whip up! Some people find avocado in desserts odd but it actually tastes delicious, it is a fruit after all. You should try it, if only just to say you did! :)

Going along with my theme from my last post, more talk about my travels! This time: Los Angeles, California definitely known for being vegan friendly so that’s not really an issue haha. Before I left for California I had this misconception that it was more city like than it really is. I guess coming from NYC I’m used to public transportation that takes you everywhere you need to be and in California it seemed odd to take buses or the train and they took forever to come! Nevertheless it is a beautiful place; I enjoyed Santa Monica and the Farmer’s Market at The Grove! Hollywood was my least favorite place because it reminded me too much of Times Square which is a place you run from when you live in NY.

The weather in California is so nice! I wish it was like that more in the northeast. The fresh fruit and produce was in abundance and while we have farmers markets here, there is so much more available on the west coast! I would love to go back and explore again.
