Vegan Chocolate Avocado Mousse

A quick and dirty (but all clean ingredients) recipe for those in need of a chocolate fix. ALL the chocolatey flavor you love; sans any of the nasty additives. Easy on the stomach, as it’s completely dairy free… but- has all the richness heavy cream would add thanks to a secret green ingredient. Any guesses?

Loaded Sweet Potato Skins

Let me ask you- is there anything sweet potato can’t do? This unassuming vegetable has become a clean eating superstar. The one healthy carb that most people opt for, because it’s healthier than it’s white potato counterparts. Tricky business, considering they’re sweeter than white spuds BUT- they’re lower in sugar, lower in carbs, have less calories and 400% of your daily vitamin A intake. They’re also very versatile, affordable and fun to work with. All veg qualities you look for. Am I right? Oh, and did I mention- this appetizer or quick dinner idea is total dynamite? Taste-wise, it will engulf you, too. 😉

Mushroom and Cashew Alfredo Pasta (DF and GF)

Mushroom and light cream truffle pasta has ma’ heart. This one is completely dairy-free and get’s that cheesy light truffle cream sauce taste from none other than… C-A-S-H-E-W-S. Yep, you read that right; (insert bold letters and conspicuous spacing :P). The same good ol’ raw cashews I make vegan cheesecake from. The same handful of raw cashews that make my smoothies denser and creamier. The same cashews that I use for my cashew cream cheese spread. Starting to make sense? Cashews are the best source of cheesy goodness, aside from cheese itself. You will love!

Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Pancakes

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I am a pancake girl through and through. Not trying to put waffles down or anything people; but pancakes bring me right back to the happiest spot of my childhood. That hazy memory of a lazy Sunday, mom’s hot chocolate, and thick + spongy pancakes for breakfast in my parents terrace overlooking the garden is the stuff weekend dreams are made of.

REAL Hot Chocolate

Picture warm and frothy hot chocolate made without any preservatives, corn syrup, white sugar or processed cocoa. Instead of regular milk; this recipe calls for oat milk, almond milk, or cashew milk. In lieu of white sugar, this recipe calls for pure maple or 1-2 soaked medjool dates, pitted. You blend it all up, then you warm it all up. C’est tout! And if you use pure maple syrup- you don’t need to blend anything. Just warm up over the stove using a whisker to mix well.
