creamy vegan black bean soup

food, home

This soup is my obsession.

This soup is one of my favorite meals to prep for the week, heats up so well.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 diced bell pepper
4 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
4 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon hot sauce, or more to taste (i like to add quite a bit more personally)
1/2 teaspoon salt, or more to taste

Optional toppings

cashew cream
cilantro
avocado

Heat the oil in a big pot over medium heat, then add the onion and saute for about 3 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and saute 1 more minute.
Add the diced carrot and bell peppers and saute for 1 minute, stirring. Pour in the beans, vegetable broth and cumin. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
Blend some of the soup: Put about half of the soup in a blender, and blend until smooth. Add back to the pot and stir.
Add the lime juice, hot sauce and salt to taste

serve with tortilla chips, garlic bread, or even avo toast!

Mango-Banana Nice cream

food, home

Fruit is my go-to snack, I LOVEEE it. Working at an Acai bowl shop/cafe has really given me the chance to experiment with different fruits and nutmilks to achieve the best creamy texture!

I’d say the two best fruits to use for the base of your icecream would be bananas and mango. I always have those two stocked in my freezer ready for some impromptu nice cream when the cravings hit!

The great thing about this nice cream is it can be dressed up or down depending on your cravings!!! If you’re feeling something fruity, add some goji berries, fresh fruit, or coconut flakes!! On the other hand, if you’re looking for something a little bit richer, then reach for some peanut butter, coconut cream, or chocolate chips.

Down below is the super simple, 3 ingredient recipe for a base nice cream

Mango-Banana Nice cream

one frozen banana
two cups mango
1/4 cup of coconut milk (or milk of your choice)

Instructions:

Place ingredients in blender starting with the banana->
Blend using the tamper until smooth.
Top with your choice of toppings and Enjoy!!

Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!!

Spa Night//pamper yoself

beauty, home

After a long week of being in the sun and salt water, or even just working or studying, it is always nice to have a refreshing spa night! We make it a weekly ritual to make a special dinner, do face masks, hair masks, and watch a chick flickkk! It’s like hitting the restart button, setting you up for the week feeling rejuvenated!

First things first, SNACKS! We like to cover all the bases (sweet and salty.)

Vegan ice-cream sandwiches w/ popcorn and chips & guacamoleee

Next we bring in the face-masks! These are our go-to’s!

This mask drys super fast and gently exfoliates when you wash it off! It’s really great for blackheads!

We loveeee this mask because it’s super affordable and makes your skin feel so clean! It works really well with acne prone skin.

Don’t forget to apply a hair mask! Being in the sun and salt water almost daily takes a severe toll on our hair, so this is a MUST!

We really love this hair mask we found at Target! It’s super affordable and you can get a few uses out of it! It strengthens, restores, and smoothes damaged hair.

Once you’ve got your masks on, go ahead and pick out your favorite chick flick! (could be a horror movie but we get too freaked out after those in our home aloneee..)

Sit back, snack, and relax!

Indigo Swimwear

fashion, home

We recently had the chance to try out this amazing eco-friendly and sustainable swimwear company!

We were sent two suits to try out and create content with. The suits came in their own adorable linen drawstring bag

The company was started in Southern California while the suits are made in Bali. The fabric for the bikinis are ethically made out of fishing nets, ocean waste, and regenerated nylon. Our love for bikinis is almost as strong as our love for the ocean and the beach, so we love to support brands that are eco-friendly and help keep our oceans clean!

The quality of their suits does not disappoint, all while keeping their price reasonably affordable as well as maintaining a unique style and an ethical approach!

We were sent a two piece bikini from “The Minimal Range,” which is a collection that they have. They also sent us a super cute retro reversible one piece from “The Floral Reef” collection.
