Halloween Goblin Green Dip | 4 Minutes | Protein-Packed

By

It’s all about dat’ dip!

…or sauce, or spread, or how ever you want to put this easy peasy goblin green dip to use.

I figured this one deserved it’s own post. It’s beautifully green, it’s super delish, and ridiculously nutrish (plus it happens to be the secret magical ingredient in the Wild Mushroom Green Lasagna last week).

Packed with protein from white cannelloni beans, kinda cheezy from the ‘nooch’ and ridiculously easy to whip up.

A great addition to the Halloween table!

This makes a big batch so you can keep it in the fridge to use on your next buddha bowl, tempeh burrito, or grilled cheeze sammy!

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl

By

It’s that time of the year. Bring out the pumpkin everything. Especially this drool-worthy pumpkin pie smoothie bowl.

Why is that word so comforting?

… pumpkin…ahhhhhh, Yes.

Fall, I see you. This pumpkin pie smoothie bowl hits that comfy spot, with some extra surprise nutrition.

Not only will you devour each n’ every spoonful of this deliciousness (and lick the bowl), but you’ll also reap the benefits of a couple secret ingredients. I’m talking about Pranin’s Iron and Vitamin C powders sourced straight from whole foods.

Why take Iron and Vitamin C together? Vitamin C enhances the absorption of the iron in your GI tract.

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl

The beauty of using these whole food supplement powders is that you’re getting the good stuff from whole food sources! The vitamin C and Iron comes from a blend of organic curry leaves, amla berries and moringa leaves. Boom.

Blend this up for yourself and reap the benefits of vitamins + minerals not only from the extra whole food supplements, but also the pumpkin purée, dates, and bananas. Serious YUM in ma tum.

Protein-Packed Vegan Almond Banana Muffins | Gluten-Free

By

September lunch boxes just got a whole lot yummier.

These Nana’Nut Muffins are ones for the box.

Almond flour packs the protein punch here. Find it in the store… or make your own!

How? Whip up some homemade almond milk, then instead of throwing the almond pulp in the compost, dry it out (in a dehydrator at 110F for 10 hours, or in the oven for 2 hours at the lowest setting), then blend it to a flour!

Devour these warm with some homemade jam, or pack them away for your next day at the office or adventure in the mountains.

‘Avo Nice Day Mousse | Easy Raw Vegan Summer Dessert

By

For those times when simplicity sounds like perfection.

This avocado mousse lays down a huge tick in the simple check box.

With just a few ingredients, a food processor, and a bowl, you’ll have yourself a dessert to impress!

This is always a go-to when I have people over, and I completely forgot about the dessert part. I mean, I love dessert, but this happens.

Just grab yourself some ripe avos, throw a couple raw flava flaves in there, and you’re back on your game!

Avo mousse is another example of the ease and possibility of achieving that creaminess without that dairy. Win.

It would be cute to serve it up in individual little mason jars, with berries on top! If you do that, take a picture and tag me on instagram so I can see your creativity (please:)).
