Once I started making my own homemade granola a few years ago, it was hard to go back to store bought. I remember I had a friend growing up who always had this amazing locally made granola at her house and we would make incredibly delicious yogurt and granola parfaits. Since then, I’ve been working to try to recreate that same incredible texture and flavor of that granola! I’m happy to report I finally did it with this spiced maple tahini granola!…

Tropical Green Immunity Smoothie (vegan)
This is one of my favorite green smoothies and you can make it completely out of pantry items and frozen fruit. It’s an incredible way to get tons of nutrition to start the day and it’s absolutely delicious! I love to start my day with something that’s going to give me a natural energy boost and boost my immune system. Incorporating unique spices into your diet is one of the best ways to do this and it’s incredibly easy to do….
3 Ingredient bagels! (vegan, gluten free, grain free)
These bagels are actually made with just 3 ingredients and happen to be vegan, gluten free, grain free and an option to be nut free!

Vegan “Chicken” N Waffle Sandwich (gluten free, air fried)
Chicken and waffles was a comfort food I enjoyed eating back when I consumed animal products so I had to veganize it using whole food plant based ingredients. And I’m SO glad I did!

Caffeine-Free “Coffee” Latte
This is my go-to drink in the morning! It can improve mental focus, physical performance, energy levels, cleanse the liver and improve digestion. It tastes just like coffee, but without any of the effects of caffeine. As someone who lives with Adrenal Insufficiency (meaning your adrenal glands do not produce enough cortisol) I do not consume caffeine.
