Green Tea Matcha Nice Cream (Vegan)

March 7, 2019 By faith Leave a Comment

Green Tea Matcha Nice Cream is sweet and subtly grassy flavored with hints of coconut and vanilla.

With its pretty green color, I wanted to share my Green Tea Matcha Nice Cream in time for St. Paddy’s Day! If you’re looking for a naturally green treat, this one is perfect. Those of you who love the flavor of matcha will go crazy for this recipe. However, if the full-bodied flavor of matcha isn’t really your thing, feel free to add a splash of mint extract and a handful of chocolate chips for a mint chocolate chip flavor profile. And you can bump up the nutrition and green color even more by adding a handful of spinach to this nice cream recipe! (For more St. Patrick’s Day fun, check out my post on how to naturally dye coconut green.)…

Gluten Free Date Bars with Almonds and Oats (Vegan)

February 21, 2019 By faith 3 Comments

These Gluten Free Date Bars with Almonds and Oats (Vegan) are nutty and sweet with subtle notes of caramel and a hint of vanilla.

I recently found a huge bag of dates tucked into the back of my pantry. I’m not one to waste food if I can help it, and I wanted to find a way to use them. Crumb bars came to mind! Dates make a delicious filling for crumb bars because they’re naturally sweet and have subtle notes of caramel. Plus, dates are packed with fiber and are a good source of vitamins and minerals. Cinnamon is the perfect spice to accentuate the flavor profile and pull everything together in my Gluten Free Date Bars with Almonds and Oats….

Cherry Vanilla Energy Bites

March 9, 2017 By faith 2 Comments

Cherry Vanilla Energy Bites are a delicious and energizing mid-morning or early-afternoon snack.

We all have a favorite snack that we reach for over and over again when hunger strikes between meals. I like to pair protein and healthy fat for longer-lasting satisfaction, and sometimes I just need a sweet treat….

February 9, 2017 By faith 1 Comment

These Paleo and Vegan Chocolate Chia Pudding, Pomegranate Banana Nice Cream, and Mango Soft Serve Parfaits for Two feel special enough for breakfast for a special day.

I always see those gorgeous chia pudding/smoothie bowl/banana soft serve parfait-type things on Instagram looking equal parts healthy and gorgeous, dripping with exotic fruit and nuts, and stylishly sporting things like chia or hemp seeds, cacao nibs, and matcha swirls, the way fancy ladies drip gemstones and sport stilettos.

Dang, those parfaits are drop-dead stunning, aren’t they?…

Vegan No-Bake Chocolate Brownie Bite Truffles

December 15, 2016 By faith 3 Comments

These deeply chocolaty, fudgy-textured Vegan No-Bake Chocolate Brownie Bite Truffles are a great healthy treat to have on hand to keep you focused on clean eating without feeling deprived.

This time of year, magazines inundate us with ideas on how to eat clean and make healthier choices throughout the holiday season. Ideas like eating dinner and then heading out to an evening party where there’ll be a dinner buffet, or eating a main course off of a smaller appetizer-sized plate. Or carrying a glass of water in one hand throughout the duration of a party so it’s harder to eat food….

June 9, 2016 By faith 1 Comment

These nutrient-dense, caffeinated Pick-Me-Up Chewy Apricot-Almond Bars are perfect for snacking on when you need a natural burst of energy.

I’m not usually a big snacker, but some days I just need a little something after a long workout or to carry me through from lunch to dinner. These are the perfect thing to keep on hand for healthy snacking….

My Favorite Noatmeal (aka Low Carb Oatmeal)

April 21, 2016 By faith 130 Comments

My Favorite Noatmeal (aka Low Carb Oatmeal, which is actually oat-free porridge) is a hearty warm breakfast that can be made on the stovetop or in the microwave for a healthy, quick breakfast that only has 5g net carbs per serving.

Like many of us, I’m a creature of habit who craves routine. I get up, make coffee and a quick breakfast, and get to work early before breaking for my mid-morning workout. Routine keeps us centered, but the downside to this is that I’m prone to falling into eating ruts, particularly with breakfast….

5-Minute Classic Chocolate Avocado Mousse

August 6, 2015 By faith 2 Comments

This 5-Minute Classic Chocolate Avocado Mousse is rich and lusciously chocolatey, and full of heart-healthy fats.

My husband doesn’t understand my love affair with chocolate, and I don’t understand his apathy towards it. (He could literally take it or leave it.)

I think men and women’s differing points of view on chocolate is one of life’s biggest mysteries.

And truthfully, I think men are weird (sorry guys)….

Mini Frozen Peach Coconut Cream Pie with Almond Crust

July 23, 2015 By faith 2 Comments

This Mini Frozen Peach Coconut Cream Pie with Almond Crust is like lusciously rich and creamy ice cream cake…and it’s naturally-sweetened, grain-free, and gluten-free!

If you’ve been reading either of my blogs for any length of time, you may know that I fall in the chocolate camp when it comes to dessert.

Only very rarely do I forgo chocolate in favor of fruit (when it’s time for chocolate, it’s time for chocolate, right ladies?), and it has to be something that’s really worth it as far as I’m concerned.

This little pie was worth it….

Almond Joy Bites

I always like to have a healthy candy alternative on hand for Easter and Halloween so I don’t give in to the junk food/sugar high that’s all around….
