…Over the past few months, I have been experimenting with a “plant-based” diet. And while I would love to say that I have been strictly Vegan since this experiment began, I cannot. And this is quite simply because, firstly, I am still learning about this lifestyle and, in doing so, have made several food-based “mistakes”, and secondly, and perhaps more importantly, because, sometimes I still want to indulge in the divine experience of treating myself to such delicacies as fresh seafood, ghee, and creme-desserts.
Yet despite these “plant-based diet imperfections”, I must say that, as a result of this plant-based diet, I feel absolutely incredible! My digestion has vastly improved. My skin looks and feels more vibrant than it ever has. I have gained healthy weight and lean muscle-mass throughout my body. My hair, nails, and lashes are growing like crazy. And, my strength, metabolism, and energy are through the effing roof!
So, given these personal results, as well as the impact my choices have on the environment and the humane treatment of animals, I can tell you with 100% confidence that this, in some capacity, is a permanent change for me.
And in honor of that, and my wild sweet tooth, here is my most fave homemade Chocolate/FoodSpa Recipe that I made up minutes ago:
Combine in the container of your choice:
Some COCONUT OIL (seriously. i eat this manna from heaven by the spoonful and keep it in almost every room of my house). Some GHEE. Some COCOA POWDER. Some Vanilla. Some VEGAN PROTEIN CAPSULE (optional) and if you are feeling extra sweet, SOME STEVIA.
Mix it up. Rub it on your bits. Share it with your loves. Put it in the fridge. Whatever. Just make love to it and with it and thank yourself later.
