Holiday Gifts for Yogis

If you are like me then there are plenty of yogis in your life. I found yoga (or it found me) many years ago and it has been an important part of my life ever since. I attend yoga classes throughout the week, sometimes I even make it to 2 classes a day. Whether you practice everyday, once a week or “just sometimes” yoga is an important way to fuel the soul. Honor the yogi in you and that special someone you want to buy a gift for. Here is a collection of gifts any yogi will love, there are some great stocking stuffers and larger gifts as well.

Vegan Blue Coconut Snowballs

We have been gobbling up these Vegan Blue Coconut Snowballs. Whenever my friends come over to visit I insist they try them and they have a unanimous LOVE for them. Serve this beautiful holiday dessert throughout the holidays and beyond. I love that they are vegan and I even snuck in more of the Blue Majik powder, so even the color is all natural!

Linguine with Shallots, Garlic and Pine Nuts

In just 20 minutes you can have this healthy & delicious meal on the table. This vegan pasta is a great dish for busy weeknights, your entire family will love it! A friend of mine sent me some E3AF nutritional algae powder to use in a recipe and at first I was a little stomped in how to use it. After tossing a scoop in this pasta I’m stomped no more. I’m pleased to say that I will now be incorporating this healthy supplement in many meals!

Heidi Liebt Beanies & a Holiday Special for YOU!

This winter I signed on with the brand Heidi Liebt to be a brand ambassador. This is a super exciting collaboration as I absolutely LOVE their product line of beanies and headbands. As most of you already know, I live for the winter and everything ski & aprés ski, that’s why I chose to move to the mountains of Telluride, CO five years ago. Not only do I love to play in the snow, but all the fashions that go with it excite me too. Ski/Mountain fashion needs to be warm, cozy and cool looking. That’s why I adore working with Heidi Liebt, they are all that & more!

No-Churn Peppermint Ice Cream

 

I absolutely LOVE ice cream no matter what time of the year. It’s great by the bowlful and in hot chocolate & coffee. It’s a special treat too in certain cold-weather cocktails. There’s no need to run to the store when you can easily make ice cream at home with no special equipment or ice cream maker required! I’ve made it all super simple for you with this No-Churn Peppermint Ice Cream recipe.

This is the winter version of the Pina Colada and it’s oh so good. How beautiful is this blue color? I go into a dreamy state gazing it! Coconut and pineapple are married together in this frosty cocktail. Is Jack Frost nipping at your nose yet? We are waiting for some snow action here in Colorado. Fingers crossed for storms sometime really soon. In the meantime, we’ll sip on some of these beauties and do the snow dance.
