EASY WHOLE FOOD PLANT BASED RECIPES
It actually took me years to perfect this hummus. Though a very simple dish to make, all the ingredients need to be just right since the magic of this dish is in its simplicity. I’ve had hummus in my travels to Europe and the Middle East, as well as taste testing A LOT of hummus in both LA and New York. I felt like I was on a quest to find out where the magic lied in this popular dip. I realized its a blend (no pun intended) of technique, the right spices and quality ingredients. …
Growing up in Los Angeles I often went out for sushi! It was one of my favorite things to eat. Now being completely plant based I find ways to continue to enjoy one of my favorite foods without sacrificing flavor! One of my favorite sushi rolls at a spot where I lived in Malibu had mango in it so I decided to recreate a version of that but without the raw fish and paired it with this cilantro lime tahini sauce and its perfection. Packed with nutrition and something I would eat regardless of being vegan or not!
Consuming raw fish unfortunately comes with the unfortunate reality of heavy metals in it such as mercury. Mercury and other heavy metals and plastics can have a negative impact on our health, especially when we are exposed to it on a regular basis. So whether or not you eat fish or not, you can benefit from this dish even if you swap it out for your regular sushi every now and then. This dish contains, nori seaweed, dulse and cilantro, all which are excellent sources of minerals and vitamins but they help to safely and naturally remove heavy metals from the body! So its the best of both worlds!…
This one’s for all peeps looking for a non-alcoholic drink! This is a healthy version of a cocktail that is not only fun but tastes delicious. It is packed with tons of immune boosting ingredients such as lemon, ginger and star anise…but your guests won’t even notice it’s super healthy until they start feeling amazing!
I love the festive color of this drink that makes it really fun for special occasions. I recently found some awesome cactus cocktail glasses but you can put them in anything, get creative and have fun with it!
This recipe is totally sugar free, gluten free, dairy free and of course alcohol free (unless you want to add some tequila or vodka in these for the non-sober folks!)
I love these because personally I don’t drink and I love having a better option than water at a party etc! These have been a huge hit with everyone but I love the idea of providing fun and yummy mocktails for those who don’t drink.
They are super easy to make as well! Basically you just blend everything in a high speed blender like a Vitamix and voila!
This is the one I use and absolutely love. It works wonders, especially for drinks like this when you want to perfectly puree things like citrus peels and seeds!…
For me, cooking is an opportunity to get creative and have fun! It really doesn’t need to be a daunting task to whip something up in the kitchen for those who don’t cook much. These rainbow toasts were just too fun to make and super easy too! I picked up some locally made gluten free buckwheat toast for these but you can use any bread you like.
I have been making homemade hummus for a while now and exploring new things to add recently. Not only do beets compliment hummus wonderfully in the flavor, they are so nutritious and make it an awesome bright pink color. Hummus goes well with so many things but I decided to make some toasts since avocado toast sometimes feels like the only one that exists these days!…
Who doesn’t love sweet potato fries?! All fries are incredible in my opinion but sweet potatoes when roasted are divine. Sweet potatoes have so many health benefits. They are a powerful anti-cancer food, high in fiber and Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Mangese, Copper and Vitamin B6 just to name some. You can actually boost your immune system big time eating this simple meal. The Jalapeno Avocado dip gives these fries what they really need, a perfectly balanced bite from the jalapeno and the lemon! …
