Not only is this recipe incredibly simple to make, you can easily …

When it comes to sharing products, we are very mindful. We have to believe in the company we are supporting and be aligned with their values & products. Well Lush is one of these companies that we love to support, you might have even caught me using their products on my instagram stories. The love is big with this one, and not a day goes by without me using their luscious products.
One of the things I love most about Lush is that they are against animal testing, support equality and constantly keep developing ways of reducing their waste which can be seen by their line of naked products.

Disclaimer: I am not a nutritionist, so I won’t go into details on this topic. Having said that, after living a vegan lifestyle the past (almost) four years, I do know a thing or two about certain topics such as source of protein.
Some of you might know that I started going to the gym, ever since I’ve started lifting weights and working on my body I also started being more mindful of the way I eat regarding my new lifestyle change.
