BUBLUVWe are obsessed with bubble tea, but it’s not always a healthy habit with its high sugar content. That’s why we’re so excited about BUBLUV, the first pre-made, better-for-you bubble tea! It’s light, sweet, and refreshing with less than 1 gram of sugar and only 20 to 50 calories per bottle. And they have plant-based flavors! We love the Matcha Soy Latte and their Passionfruit Oolong Guava is fruity and fun.

Purity Woods Age-Defying Night CreamWe talk a lot about what we put into our bodies, but what about what we put on our skin? Especially at night, when our bodies and brains are in full-on repair mode, our skin is too. That’s actually when it can absorb ingredients most effectively, so what you use before bed really matters. We recently discovered Purity Woods and their Age-Defying Night Cream has been such a lovely addition to our evening routines.

EcoSoxEcoSox is one of our favorite new brand discoveries of the year. They make the coziest socks we've ever worn, that are super soft, super high quality, and sustainably made. They use primarily plant-based materials like bamboo and hemp, which are highly renewable resources. And these materials also have natural moisture-wicking properties.

Preheat the oven to 200ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Strain the chickpea liquid (aquafaba) into the bowl of an electric stand mixer. You should have about ½ cup. (Use the chickpeas for something else). Add the cream of tartar to the bowl and fit the mixer with the whisk attachment. Whip on high speed until the mixture increases in volume and stiffens a bit, 4 to 6 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium high and gradually add the sugar, a few tablespoons at a time.

Nutty Novelties Nut ButtersIf you love nut butter, you’re going to love Nutty Novelties! They make all-natural nut butters that are high in protein, low in sugar, and so delicious. Most of their line is totally vegan, which we obviously love. Their Classic Peanut Butter is a perfect place to start—just peanuts and salt, with 8 grams of protein per serving, and half the sodium of the big brands.
