Spicy Chipotle Almonds

 

This super on-the-go snack is great for travel, lunch box, or simply munching on while binging Netflix. I’ve only done these in a dehydrator, but I’m sure you could do a slow, low temperature bake as well. Let us know if you try this in comments

Chocolate Kale Crunch

CRUNCHY! DELICIOUS! NUTRITIOUS! Not for the faint of heart! This treat is super crunchy and chock full of kale and therefore, probably best saved for those more experienced healthy eaters....but it is delicious!!! Feel free to spice it up even more! Get your greens on!!!

This can be made in a low temperature oven too...I’ve just not tried it. Comment below if you give this a whirl!

BananaFanna Almond Fudge Bar

Ohhhh my! What could be better than banana, nut
butter, and chocolate, combined in a bar????

I love these, and my grandkids LOVE them too. It’s a great nutrient-dense treat to include in their packed lunches for school or daycare!!!

Use your creativity and swap out a few ingredients. Add a dash of cinnamon and pinch of cayenne for more depth of flavor. Increase melted cacao for a more fudgey version. It’s all good!

Wild Blueberry Coconut Pudding

Wild blueberries are significantly more nutrient dense than their cultivated cousins and unlike other fruits, maintain their magnificence even frozen.  This pudding took minutes to make and is one of my favorite dishes. This was breakfast today.

Add some bananas and dried coconut for a decadent, delicious, and nutritious treat. As each coconut varies in volume and ratio, meat:water, you’ll have to play it by ear with regard to chia, cashews and additional water, if needed.

Please comment if you made and enjoyed this recipe!

Waffle Cone Ice Cream Rolls

I’m super excited about this new treat!  This does require some preparation, but since they are frozen, you can make a large batch and have them on hand. Ok, I can’t promise they’ll stick around long...but they are worth the love put into preparing them. I served these at my chiropractors’ office and wish I had gotten video of the smiling faces as folks tasted these precious bite-sized delights!  Let’s get started!

Coconut Mango Pudding

Quick and easy, delightful summer treat. Blend, chill, and serve!!!

There are so many variations that are possible. Add wild blueberries, bananas, pineapple, etc. almost anything goes. Add water or almond milk, only as needed. Feel free to switch out maple syrup for a few dates.

I used fresh young Thai coconut meat, but you can use dried unsweetened coconut too. Soak for one hour to rehydrate, drain  and follow recipe. It may not be as creamy and I suggest using almond milk instead of water. I have a video on you tube demonstrating how to open these coconuts. It’s fun and pretty simple. These make great ice pops too!!!

Wild Blueberry Cream Pudding Parfait

Deeeeeelish!!! It’s creamy and light for an enjoyable summer snack.  I can eat this for lunch.

Feel free to use almonds instead of cashews, it won’t be quite as creamy, but still delicious. A great dairy free snack your non vegan friends would never guess did not have milk. Other fruit variations work well too.

Creamy Carrot Guacamole Soup

Ohhhh, this is a keeper! It didn’t come out at all like I was expecting, but so much better. What started out as a creamy carrot soup, gone green, turned into a guacamole love bowl. Get out your corn chips!!! This is one hearty meal!!!!!

This perfectly hit the spot!!! ♥️ This soup!

Pizza Kale Chips

While in the dehydrator, my kitchen smelled like a pizzaria!!! Amazing!

These are delicious and I can’t wait to serve them tomorrow!!! Next time, I’ll make my Rawsages recipe, and crumble that on top of these chips....mmmmmmm!

I hope you enjoy these as much as we do.  Feel free to bake inborn if you don’t have a dehydrator. Preheat to 220 degrees F.....bake for 30 minutes, keeping watch so they don’t burn.

Choco Fudge Wafers

I made these lil treats for my grandsons...but I really love them.  I’ve also made them like Oreo cookies with a cream filling....but here’s the simple version.

Adjust ingredients to make more or less sweet. Taste batter as you go along, and adjust.  Like them chewy? Dehydrate around 12 hours. Want them crunchy? Dehydrate at least 24 hours, possibly longer, depending on humidity in your home and other factors. These are delicious.

A rich, creamy, crunchy and delicious fudge. Your friends and family will beg you for more! I’ve made this for several groups, and the response was an overwhelming, “mmmmmmmmm.”
