At a recent dinner party with my girlfriends, I discovered a hit with this simple sweet potato soup. It’s creamy without using any dairy, and the sweet potatoes add great color and nutrients. This soup is rich enough that you could eat it on its own for a light dinner. It’s also vegan, vegetarian, paleo, gluten-free and has no added sugar, perfect for any and all guests. Delicious and good for you? Yes, please!
1 yellow onion (diced)
1 tablespoon coconut oil
4 medium-sized sweet potatoes (roasted or baked, about 4 cups chopped)
¾ teaspoon ginger (minced)
½ teaspoon garam masala spice mix
1 cup light coconut milk
2 cups water
*garam masala is an Indian spice mix usually made with a blend of black pepper, cumin, coriander, cinnamon and clove. You can buy it pre-made or mix your own.

Another exciting day of non-stop studying. “Working for the weekend” is my #LIFEmood this week. I did find time to make this Coco-Turmeric Smoothie for lunch and it was amazing. Butternut squash is the perfect thickener/savory add to a smoothie. ...

This is just what I need on a sub-zero day like today. The addition of some red pepper flakes would definitely warm you up even more!
