Cookies, headstands and coconut oil? Our latest Saturday Night Indulge Insta Live with Aditi Mammen Gupta was a fun cocktail of eclectic conversation threads. The founder of Posh Nosh (gourmet sauces and spreads) and food blogger gave us a quick glimpse of her brand new vegan protein powder under newly launched health and wellness brand Origin Nutrition, told us how to make melted chocolate instantly harden around your ice cream with a dash of coconut oil and gave us a peek at her fitness routine. All of this, while demo-ing a Gluten-free Lava Cookie recipe from start to finish! The recipe for the cookies, which we could tell from our screens, was gooey and scrumptious. Here it is!
