When your closest raw juice bar is 45 minutes away, you make it at home! And if you’re like me, you had to chose between investing in a high-powered blender or juicer. (I opted for the blender.) So today I am showing you how to make fresh juice in your blender! Super easy!
Inspired by Restoring Radiance for these nut butter stuffed dates, they were a hit!! First of all, I’m a sucker for anything peanut butter & chocolate (anyone else?!) and while these originally called for almond butter, I switched it out for my favorite peanut butter instead! SO GOOD!
You know those morning where you want something creamy, filling, delicious & quick to make? Introducing yogurt bowls! My new favorite breakfast when I’m short on time!
One thing I love about these bowls is how versatile they can be! From the different types of yogurt to various toppings, you can switch things up to whatever you’re feeling. Pictured below is a favorite: fall inspired apple bowl with cinnamon! So good! {You can also visit my Instagram for more bowl ideas}
I was on the hunt for a brownie. One that was extra chocolaty (is that a word?), free of refined sugar & flour and one that did not use black beans. As much as I do love a good black bean brownie, I honestly didn’t want to have to mess with the blender! Inspired by this online recipe, I made a couple upgrades and was so happy with the results that I’m sharing it with you.
Have you heard of or used ghee? Used for many many years in Indian cooking and Ayurvedic practices, ghee is an amazing healthy fat that deserves a place in our diet. Similar to butter, ghee technically is butter that has been heated to remove the milk solids and simmered to enhance it’s natural buttery flavor. This process is why people who are allergic to dairy can usually handle ghee.
This soup is hearty, delicious and so good for you! It is a favorite on chilly fall days and through the cold winter months!
This one is dairy free, reminds you of a tropical island and is so so refreshing! Â I made this for guests one evening and it was a hit!
This dish contains NO ADDED sugar making it a great option for a snack or dessert or even a breakfast treat!
Bonus tip: add chia seeds and a handful of greens for extra health benefits! (However if you do add greens, it will loose the pretty color.)
*You can also freeze this in a container to eat later.
RECIPE UPDATE: I used strawberries in place of the pineapple and boy was it good!
One of my favorite old time breakfast meals. A twist on the traditional bowl of oatmeal.
I have been loving oats lately. They are a great source of fiber, B vitamins, protein (5-7 grams in 1/2 cup) and antioxidants. Plus it is very filling. I get on my egg and smoothie kick and tend to forget about oatmeal which is a great breakfast choice. (Or a snack like these delicious cookies)
To make this DAIRY FREE:
*Use CERTIFIED GLUTEN FREE OATS
*Avoid using quick oats which are highly processed, loosing vitamins, fiber and minerals. Rolled oats are your best option here.
If you practice food combining, this recipe is still delicious without the blueberries. You can also add bananas as well.
I had a craving for chocolate pudding. From scratch. Using real food ingredients. That tasted delicious. I made this recipe, waited patiently for it to cool and sighed with delight when I tasted it! It was wonderful and tasted exactly how I hoped it would. SCORE. Now this recipe is mostly dairy free, minus the butter. However, you probably could replace the butter with coconut oil. I personally have not tried it. If you do, let me know how it turns out!
You can add whipped cream on top (use coconut cream to make it dairy free), berries, mini chocolate chips, granola, or just eat it!
