Coconut & Nutella Shake

Nutella is one of those spreads that vegans and non-vegans dream about. There’s something about that nutty, sweet and chocolatey flavor that makes whatever you put it on spectacular. However, as you probably know already…Nutella is neither vegan nor healthy. BUT I stumbled upon this alternative at Expo West that tastes exactly like the infamous treat. Read on to find out what it is and how to make this delicious shake with Coconut and Vegan Nutella plus some protein for good measure. Continue reading →

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner…and you know what that means! Good food, candy, baked goods and of course chocolate! Now, rather than buying your special someone a box of cheap chocolates I have a proposition in mind. Why not give them some super-high quality, vegan superfood chocolates made with organic, raw ingredients? Sure they won’t be as cheap as the store-bought options, but whoever you give them as a gift to will be able to tell the difference right away! I am so thankful to Righteously Raw for reaching out and sending me such a wide variety of their chocolates to try out! Find out what I thought about their bars and other products, and which ones I highly recommend for you to try for yourself. Plus, keep reading to find out how you can get 15% OFF your next order!

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!
