I started my healthy lifestyle three years, and it came with a lot of rewards and challenges. I knew if I wanted to live a healthier lifestyle, I would have to give up the foods that I enjoyed eating. Trust me, it wasn't easy! I slowly but surely Did a detox from refined sugars which helped a lot. Again, this didn't happen overnight, and one of the reasons that I've done so well on this journey is because I actually like the foods in which I eat. (You can read more about my journey here.) I'm a huge snacker, and I knew the importance of finding recipes that I would actually like, and could make on a regular basis. 

My diet started in the spring months, so the summer was right around the corner, and I found my love for Watermelon. I've told this story before, how I wasn't the biggest fan of watermelon until my lifestyle change, mainly due to watermelon being low in calories. During the warmer months, I consume a lot of fruits that are in season. However, living in Connecticut. It's cold more than it is warm, and at times, during the spring months, we have a lot of winter days sprinkled in, which makes our seasons really interesting for cooking purposes. 

Below, I wanted to share some of my favorite vegan snacks and desserts. Whether you're vegan, on a weight loss journey, or just want to try something new.
