Looking for a healthier alternative to that kid-favorite Shamrock Shake? Check out this delicious, vegan version I whipped up using fresh mint, your favorite vanilla protein powder and raw cashews for creaminess. You won’t even know the difference!
INGREDIENTS
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until creamy, green and smooth!
Cherries and Chocolate are one of my all-time favorite combinations. Juicy, ripe, sweet cherries paired with creamy chocolate will make this amazing raw cheesecake a go-to recipe anytime you need to make a special treat. It’s perfect to take to a V-day party or make for your sweetie.
CRUST INGREDIENTS
Process the nuts, coconut, cacao powder and sea salt together in a food processor into crumbs. Add maple syrup, vanilla and cacao nibs and process until mixture begins to stick together. If not sticky enough add extra maple syrup (start with 2 tablespoons.) Scrape out mixture into a 9″ spring form pan and press evenly and firmly into the bottom of the pan using your fingers. Set aside
FILLING INGREDIENTS
Golden Milk, made with turmeric and ginger, is used as an anti-inflammatory in the Ayurvedic tradition. Usually made with cow’s milk, I make mine with almond or coconut milk, so it’s vegan. It’s great to curb sugar cravings at night and awesome for digestion.
INGREDIENTS
In a small saucepan, heat the coconut oil until melted and sizzle the turmeric and ginger in the coconut oil for 20 seconds, stirring to prevent burning. Add almond milk to saucepan and heat just before boiling. Sweeten with honey or maple syrup and top with a dash of nutmeg.
Chocolate in chili? You betcha!!! I love mole’ sauce, so I figured, why not make a mole’ chili! This delicious one-pot meal contains tons of fiber, complex carbs and protein. Throw it over some brown rice or quinoa for even more nutrition. And it will satisfy your chocolate cravings too! Double win!
INGREDIENTS
In a large pot over medium heat, saute onion, garlic and red bell pepper until soft. Add all spices and stir to incorporate the flavors. Cook for another 3 minutes. Add garnet yam and carrots. Stir to combine with spices. Cook for another 5-7 minutes. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, if mixture starts to stick. Now add beans, tomatoes and water or tomato sauce. Stir well to combine. Turn heat to low, cover pot and let cook for about 20-30 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Add lime juice and zest. Top with avocado before serving.
What? Cauliflower Buffalo Wings? You bet! I got inspired by a few other recipes I saw online, so I came up with my own. Who knew there were so many vegan “wing” recipes out there!
