Vegan, Oil-Free, and Sugar-Free (but flavor-FULL) Banana Bread
November 29, 2012 – 8:08 am
Me thinks bread is up there with butter as my favorite food. It’s empty love, I know, but it feels oh-so good in the moment and it only feels worth it whilst eating it! Unfortunately, we’ve got to protect our hearts and prevent that sneaky, delayed “Sike!” in the form of a breakout, sluggishness or [...]
Raw Caramel Dipped Apple Slices
October 10, 2012 – 8:08 am
Caramel and apples go together magically, but you don’t have to avoid the combination just because caramel is basically death by simple sugars. This raw recipe for caramel uses dates as the foundation, and it mimics the caramel flavor perfectly. Dipped into the raw caramel, the apples are then coated with nuts (walnuts or pecans) [...]

Almost-Raw Vegan Oreos
July 18, 2012 – 8:30 am
Oreo cookies can be healthy! To be honest, the recipe looks more like an Oreo cookie than it tastes. The texture is different and the taste is richer, but it’s absolutely decadent and delicious in its own right. Oreo cookies are generally packed to the brim with absolutely nothing but empty carbs and questionable ingredients. [...]

With just two ingredients and a dash of salt, you have yourself a vegan, homemade caramel sauce without the white sugar. It’s sweet, creamy and something to write home about. You won’t miss the standard, I promise.
Vanilla Chai Almond Smoothie
April 27, 2012 – 9:49 am
This smoothie blew me away. Its base is almond milk and the only remotely “heavy” thing in it are 4-5 dates. The rest is comprised of spices and cocoa powder. One thing I never liked about raw food circles is their obsession with crazy “super” smoothie concoctions – hemp powders, raw protein powders, cashews, spirulina, [...]
Almonds, Dates, and Chocolate
February 6, 2012 – 11:59 am
…are just a few of my favorite things. Instead of down in three, why not down in one? Three ingredients: 1 almond per 1 date and your favorite chocolate, melted. Simply pit the dates, keeping them relatively intact. Replace the pit with a raw, roasted or spiced almond. Melt the chocolate (I used 72% dark) [...]
