Autumn Milk Latte

-
Good morning, everyone, and welcome to a brand new week. Mondays have a terrible connotation, one that I find completely unwarranted. Sure, the weekend has come to an end a little earlier than we may have wanted, but Mondays mean new beginnings and possibilities. We can make the day exactly what we hope it will be; wake up with a positive attitude and a smile on your face, and it'll make all the difference. Remember: today is the first day of the rest of your life. Nonetheless, I do recognize that with Monday comes more homework, work, and a renewed layer of stress. They can be a little discouraging. So today I've decided to post one of my favorite comfort treats, one to brighten up any morning. With a hint of pumpkin spice, and the creamiest, silkiest texture of all-time, this Autumn Milk Latte is a sure winner. Even better, it is hassle-free, sugar-free, and 100% Primal! See the recipe below:

Serves 1
Ingredients
A little more than 7/8 cup of full-fat almond milk
A little less than 1/8 cup of organic heavy whipping cream
2 tsps granulated sweetener (I love Lakanto's monk fruit or Swerve)
1 tsp vanilla extract
A dribble of almond extract
A sprinkling of pumpkin spice (to taste)

Instructions
In a small sauce pan, mix all of the ingredients together over medium-high heat. Stir constantly in order to combine ingredients. Do not allow the mixture to reach a boil, but keep the heat as high as possible without the cream burning on the base of the pan. Once the mixture has reached a warm temperature, pour it through a funnel and into a mug. Enjoy a perfect, healthy substitute for that sugary drink you've been craving for awhile, and be careful not to burn your tongue!

Signing off,
Maya

You don't hate the summers/ You're just afraid of the space: May Favorites

I sort of feel like I'm wading through a giant vat of chocolate pudding. Hot, sticky, sweaty chocolate pudding. That's how summer always feels to me, but hey, I will endure scorching sunshine and wasps flying into my bedroom if it means fall will come. There's a lyric in one of my favorite songs from this month (Maine by Noah Kahan) that goes something like this: you don't hate the summers/ you're just afraid of the space. Chocolate pudding aside, this lyric really struck a chord. I think what I dread so miserably about the next three months is all of the hazy monotony that comes with leisure. Drifting has never been something I'm particularly good at, so I'll have to create projects for myself, but that seems like a lot of work. And so my cycle of purposelessness continues; misery, realizing that misery can be easily remedied, and deciding that the easy remedy requires too much effort. Maybe I just don't like who I become during these months. Maybe i

...and it ain't even a real bamboo plant. Hey, everyone. I'm Maya - welcome back to The Avocado and Me.  Before we begin today's post, I want to take you all on a little road trip back to July 2nd, 2018. On this day in history, I drank a lot of iced chai tea while writing a blog post titled, "1,000 Page Views!" Let me tell you - I was so freaking excited to write that post. One-thousand views was a really big deal for this little speck of a teenage girl. I felt so accomplished, and so proud of how far The Avocado and Me  had come. Now, a little less than a year from July 2, 2018, there have been approximately 7,068 page views on this here blog. Everyone, we septupled the number of page views on The Avocado and Me  in less than a year. That is insane. I am so incredibly grateful for you, for the time you dedicate to reading my words, and for this journey we've gone on together. You mean the world to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And now, my loves,
