Vegan Apricot and Green Apple Coconut Yogurt Parfait

For breakfast, look to none other than coconut milk to create a sweet, vanilla-flavored yogurt that is easy to digest and reminiscent of Summer. For this recipe, I create a parfait using apricots and green apple. Feel free to use whatever fruits you like. Enjoy!

Video: Vegan Tiramisu

Here’s the video we put together for VegNews, demonstrating how to make the beloved vegan tiramisu. Be sure to check out the written recipe for vegan tiramisu as well as the recipe for vegan lady fingers. Enjoy!

Vegan Lady Fingers

For the Vegan Tiramisu recipe, it is difficult to find egg-free ladyfingers, so here’s a recipe that allows you to easily make ladyfingers yourself. No special equipment necessary. The trick to the texture is in baking the twice. Enjoy!

Vegan Tiramisu

Tiramisu is one of those desserts I never thought I could clean up and make lighter and more healthier. Well, I was definitely wrong. Sure, the lady fingers are still made with white flour, but I cut corners in other ways — this recipe has no dairy! It’s a vegan, light way to enjoy tiramisu.

Aphrodisiac Raw Chocolate

The ingredients in this snack dessert recipe are quite powerful aphrodisiacs. From the chocolate to the walnuts to the red pepper, you’ll be more in the mood with each bite! This is  great recipe for Valentine’s Day, or any day. Enjoy!

Almost-Raw Vegan Oreos

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. [...]

Vanilla Frappuccino

My version of a vanilla frappuccino smoothie is sugar-free, save for the optional chocolate syrup glaze, using a few drops of zero-calorie, low-glycemic stevia instead. The recipe also goes a step further by replacing cow milk with almond milk. Almond milk is a mere 40 calories per 8-ounce serving and avoids the common issues that [...]

Vanilla Chai Almond Smoothie

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, [...]

Chocolate Pudding

No milk or sugar here. Just four ingredients too! I know it sounds a little odd and the idea isn’t all that appetizing, but an avocado-based chocolate pudding does not taste like avocado. With the addition of vanilla and honey, the characteristic avocado taste is masked, leaving behind only the inherent creaminess it so wonderfully [...]

Vegan Sugar-Free Brownies

Sometimes the best things in life are (sugar-) free, like these brownies. Maple syrup sweetens this classic dessert just perfectly, and I promise you that the eggs, milk, and butter simply won’t be missed, except for maybe by your love handles. Trust me on this one. You can’t get much better than this. Why do [...]
