So Delicious Cashew Ice Cream

So Delicious recently debuted their new line of vegan ice cream made with cashew milk, and I was blown away when I tried it at Expo West. In the past, I honestly haven’t been a regular buyer of their coconut-based ice cream because they are just a little too strong in coconut flavor for me. However, I loved their unsweetened cashew milks when I first tried them so it was inevitable that I would love these. Ice cream was one of my favorite treats before going vegan, and I tend to be really picky with a lot of the vegan varieties on the market. Read on to see what I thought of the different flavors of their cashew-based dairy-free pints! Continue reading →

When it comes to coconut water, it’s really difficult for me to find a product that fits all of my needs. For one, I try to select only the organic varieties that don’t have any added ingredients like preservatives or sugars. On the other hand, I try to buy coconut water when it’s on sale because it can be a little pricey at a lot of natural grocery stores. If you’re like me with wanting to have all of these needs met, then you’re in luck! Cocozia sent me a box of their 100% organic and vegan coconut water to try in a few recipes. You can buy a whole case of this stuff on sale right now on Amazon.com. I decided to make this both a review and a recipe post, so it’s really a double whammy! Keep reading on for an uber healthy, coconut water recipe that is sure to kick your average smoothie up a notch. I’ll also be posting another holiday-inspired one soon, that you surely won’t want to miss out on either!

Apricot, Coconut & Cashew Bars

Sometimes in the summer, it gets too hot to turn on the oven and bake something. This is one of those recipes that’s perfect for these kinds of occasions, since it’s a no-bake (but still delicious) treat. These bars are also gluten and soy free, healthy, and they only use a few ingredients that you likely have in your kitchen already. They contain healthy fats and good protein sources, and will last in your fridge for a while (or maybe not, they might be too good to resist). These also got the approval of non-vegans and vegans alike, so what are you waiting for? Try making them for yourself, and I would definitely give it a try with dried fruits other than apricots if you are feeling adventurous!
