Red Lentil and Brown Rice Soup with Coconut Milk
I was browsing the website of deAnna Anderson, a Dallas Jivamukti yoga teacher, and found a recipe for Kitchari.

I was excited to see this ...
Healthy Pumpkin Pie Smoothie (Vegan)
I first saw vegan coconut whipped cream on Pinterest several months ago.
