Happy Blogcember Day 7!

A lot of people think that going vegan means you can’t eat/drink anything enjoyable, and while you can’t consume many things, there are so many alternatives! Today I wanted to share some recent holiday drinks that I found at my local Sprouts Farmers Market. Sprouts is hands down my favorite grocery store, the produce is fresh, they have many vegan options, tons of fun/new snacks, and an amazing beauty/wellness section filled with natural and cruelty free products. They are also more affordable than other “organic/natural” grocery stores. I always find fun holiday snacks and such to try, it’s so exciting to find treats that vegans can enjoy too!

Anyway, I only have a few drinks to share, but let me know if you try them out!

1. So Delicious Holiday Nog holiday-nog

I don’t think I was ever a fan of egg nog growing up. I’m not sure if I didn’t like the taste or if I never really tried it because the name turned me off to it. I decided to try this Holiday Nog from So Delicious and it’s actually pretty tasty! I would describe the flavor as buttercream frosting, so yes it’s pretty sweet! It’s really nice and creamy though, I’m going to try adding it to my coffee because I think that would taste great!
I don’t drink, but I’d imagine this would also be a good drink to mix with some sort of alcohol…rum maybe? Whatever it is that Bailey’s uses for their iced coffee alcohol!

2. So Delicious Mint Chocolate Coconut Milk

mint-chocolateI know, I know, you probably don’t like mint chocolate…but if you do, you should try this! I never understood how people don’t like the dark, cooling combo I think it’s delicious. This drink tastes like mint chocolate ice cream in creamy drink form. It’s so good! There’s not a hint of coconut flavor in it either! Lately I’ve been mixing it with my protein powder to make things more exciting, it’s actually a good combo!

 

 

 

 

3. Crio Bru Pumpkin Spice Light Roastcrio-bru

Crio Bru is actually really cool…it’s a “coffee alternative” made of cocoa beans, but is healthier and claims to provide more natural energy with almost no caffeine. It does not taste like coffee to me and I can’t really speak for the energy part, basically I could chug 500 mg of caffeine and still not feel awake so yeah! In my opinion this tastes like hot chocolate, it’s not hot chocolate so don’t expect a creamy texture, but the flavor is awesome, especially with vegan marshmallows on top! The flavor I have is Pumpkin, however they have several different varieties. The pumpkin one does not have an overpowering pumpkin taste in my opinion, it smells like chocolatey goodness.

4. Mighty Leaf Tea- Dark Chocolate and Peppermint Chamomile

mighty-leaf-teaOr any tea really! I recently bought these and they are just so cute and festive! These tea bags are pyramid shaped and individually wrapped in clear plastic, which is wasteful but would be cute to throw in some gifts this year! Peppermint chamomile has always been one of my favorite teas it’s so refreshing and relaxing. Dark chocolate tea sounded amazing so I thought I would give it a try, it’s not too bad! It would taste great with some holiday cookies!

 

 

These are just a few drinks I’ve enjoyed so far this season, I’m sure I’ll find more soon!

What is your favorite holiday drink?

I've been vegan for 5 years as of yesterday. It's I've been vegan for 5 years as of yesterday.  It's still the best decision of my life.  I've gained the most strength and look my best as a vegan.  It's also worth mentioning I was vegetarian for 13 years before going vegan, which is why I had to bust out a double bi in photo 3 lol  So yes, I do get enough protein despite not eating animals 😏  As a vegan I've also learned to cook better, eat more types of foods, and have discovered amazing restaurants, recipes, and vegan alternatives all without harming animals.  I never want to push veganism on anyone, but I encourage everyone to explore this lifestyle.  Personally, having an animal suffer for my food, clothes, and products just isn't worth it. Being a perfect vegan isn't necessary, but even small changes can make a large difference.  My sister (@loka1089) made this shirt for me for Christmas by the way!!  #vegan #bekindtoeverykind #veganfortheanimals #veganweightlifting #vegangains #strongvegan #veganwoman #vegananniversary #GoVegan #veganbodybuilding #anythingyoucaneaticaneatvegan #LivinglikeLeila
Happy March!  An update on my February goals:
▪️Pay off my car ✅✅✅🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️  ▪️Jump rope for at least 2 minutes daily ✅ (Well, I missed ONE day but otherwise I enjoyed this challenge a lot)  ▪️Start 'Phase 2' of my training program ✅ (it's more intense than I expected but my strength and body are improving!)  ▪️Finish reading 2-4 books ❌ (I finished 0. I stopped reading a fiction book because it was boring. I've been taking my time reading The Brain That Changes Itself because it requires focus lol)  ▪️Stick to my usual habits better ❌ (Feb was tough for me honestly. Sometimes I have bouts of intense fatigue and lack of motivation which I believe is associated with PMDD. Idk honestly)  March is usually a pretty transformative month for me, so here are my goals:  ▪️Put at least $600 to student loan savings
▪️Make over $1K online
▪️Finish The Brain That Changes Itself
▪️5 minutes of abs daily (new challenge!)
▪️Walk 10K steps daily again
▪️Stick to my habits/routine (for real this time!! I'm feeling better 😊)  #NewMonth #debtfreecommunity #debtfreejourney #blogger #youtuber #goals #february #habits #march #personaldevelopment #strong2021 #fitness #vegan #fitnessgoals #health #healthy #LivinglikeLeila #DebtOverIt
I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the l I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the love and kind words on my previous post ❤🥺  It amazes me that I have this growing community of support and I'm so grateful for it.  I know paying off a car and paying off debt isn't a big thing for everyone, but it's a huge part of my life and I genuinely appreciate that everyone is proud of me and celebrating with me!!  I do hope my progress and my openness on my finances encourages more people to look into theirs and improve it. Improving my finances has made a HUGE difference in my life.  No, money may not buy happiness. But when shit is in order you have less stress, more clarity, and more faith in what's to come👌  These blue light glasses are from @tijneyewear 👓 (gifted)  #thankyou #financialindependence #finance #debtfreecommunity #debtfreejourney #DebtOverIt #blogger #financialcoach #debtcoach #personaldevelopment #neverstopimproving #LivinglikeLeila
I paid off my car today 🙂 27 months EARLY!!! T I paid off my car today 🙂 27 months EARLY!!!  This car should have cost me about $22K, but it ended up being about $30K!!! I'll break down why that is in a future video.  But for the first time in my adult life I am paying $0 in interest right now 😭  I started my debt free journey in June 2018 with $82,200 of debt... I'm now down to ONLY my student loans of $36,200. Which are in forbearance and at 0% interest right now.  This is like a little preview of the debt free life 🥺  Not to mention, my minimum car payment was $382.55 and if I invested that monthly, it would grow to over $200,000 in 20 years.  You may be able to afford that car payment, but it comes with a HUGE sacrifice.  My debt free journey has changed my life and I'm so, so excited for my financial future. 🙏💰  #cardebtfree #finances #debtoverit #cardebt #debtfreecommunity #debtfreejourney #money #finance #studentloandebt #financialfreedom #financialindependence #firemovement #financialindependenceretireearly #TransferTuesday
'Living like Leila' will always be my first born b 'Living like Leila' will always be my first born baby business, but as my personal finance business has significantly grown I've realized I just want LLL to encompass Me.  If you haven't noticed, I am VERY multi-passionate. I love fitness, finance, personal development, veganism, plants, books, food, planning, habits, business. I literally lose sleep at night because I CONSTANTLY have ideas lol  So I know this IG and my LLL YouTube covers everything under the sun, but that's exactly what I want it to be. It's just a digital journal of my life and even though it can be a lot, it's just a reflection of my life and the things I value.  This has allowed me to put less pressure on myself for the content I create, and I truly just enjoy it all as a hobby now.  So I understand that some of my content may not resonate with everyone, but I appreciate ya'll being here 😊❤  And as a side note, if you decide to start an online business...niche down to ONE topic. It will go a lot further, at least from my experience 👀  #multipassionate #livinglikeleila #vegan #personaldevelopment #books #debtfreecommunity #finance #debtfreejourney #business #onlinebusiness #habits #fitness #life
