The Vegan Glow-Up
Going vegan was like unlocking a level in a video game I never knew existed.

Plus, reducing the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer? That's what I call a win-win-win! π
But what really sealed the deal for me was this recipe. It's not just any soup; it's a Groovy Green Goddess Soup that nourished me back to health after a particularly gnarly flu. It's warm, comforting, and packs a punch of nutrients. So, let's get to it!
