Easy Vegan Gluten-Free Protein Filled Biscuits

Columbus Day is here!

This holiday is a national day in many countries in the Americas (North- and Central-America), celebrating the day when Christopher Columbus first arrived to the continent on October 12, 1492. It has been celebrated in the United States since 1905 with Colorado being the first state to remember the event and became a federal holiday in 1937.

But how do you celebrate Columbus Day? Whether your town or state is throwing a parade or any event to observe it, you can always take a moment to remember and be grateful for Columbus for making his courageous journey over here. Think about all the amazing things that have happened in history since.

Columbus was an explorer and with his discovery he changed history. But you don’t have to be an explorer or sail across the ocean to change the world. You can be part of a positive change on our planet through simple actions. By changing your diet and lifestyle, creating health in your body and happiness in your life and by inspiring, supporting and teaching others to do the same, you can make a powerful difference in your life, in the life of others and in the world.

Remember, we're in this together. Each step, each smile and each bite of nutritious food counts.
