Top 15 Vegan Halloween Treats

October 31, 2018 By julia

I’ve searched the net, so you don’t have to, for spooky, cute, creepy and 100% vegan halloween treats. Creep out your guests with these yummy ideas from a few of my favourite food bloggers out there in the blogosphere.

Death By Chocolate by Hot For Food

A deathly delicious smoothie that feels sinful to eat… from Lauren Toyota over at Hot For Food. Her Youtube channel is packed with inspirational and funny vegan-ness.

Severed Hand Punch by Edgy Veg

Candice from Edgy Veg always comes up with crazy ideas. Her Youtube channel is full of awesomeness too. This is just creepy.

Vegan Milky Way by Minimalist Baker

Dana, over at the Minimalist Baker, is one of my fave vegan bloggers. Make this healthy version of your fave candy bar, and you won’t miss the mega-unhealthy version.

3-Ingredient Halloween Apple Bites by Oh She Glows

Angela at Oh She Glows is one of the first food bloggers I started to follow. She’s got a massive following now with her best-selling books and delish vegan recipes. These are easy and awesome for kids to do too!

Raw Vegan Witch Fingers by The Full Helping

A rendition of your usual witch fingers (because who doesn’t make witch fingers annually?), but pretty darn good for ya!

Graveyard Taco Cups by Fork and Beans

Zesty, Mexican theme-party must haves I’d say. Not dessert, but definitely needed for the halloween spread.

Raw Candy Pops by The Rawtarian

Raw with all the nutrients intact, and crazy simple with just a few ingredients!

Bloody Cups by Elephantastic Vegan

Like peanut butter cups but bloody. Just 3 ingredients too! We like simple.

Spooky Guacamole and Corn Chips by Raw.Vegan.Not Gross

Laura Miller is hilarious. And so is this vid. Hopefully it inspires you to dress up and make food.

Stuffed Jack-O-Lanterns by The Healthful Pursuit

Why leave carving to just pumpkins? Here’s a gutsy idea for a halloween-y dinner.

Dark Chocolate Coconut Ghosts by Feasting on Fruit

These are high-carb, low fat, and oh-so-spooky.

Raw Pumpkins by Girl Gone Raw

Raw, good for you, and delish.

Oh My Raw Caramel Apples by Rawesome Vegan Life

Emily is the queen of decadent vegan desserts, and I just had to add this one in here because, even though it’s not spooky… it screams Fall and sweetness… plus, I just had to feature Emily because a dessert post round-up without her would be criminal.

screen-shot-2016-10-27-at-10-21-42-am

Dairy Free Pumpkin Cheesecake by To Die For

OK, again, I know this isn’t really halloween-themed, besides the pumpkin in there. But I had to include a dessert from Erin, because she is just amazing and she posts some of the most drooool-worthy recipes.

screen-shot-2016-10-27-at-10-14-45-am

Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding by The Pure Life

One more fall-flavoured dessert, minus the halloween theme… Only because I want to give a shout out to Sisley! These flavours will taste like halloween, don’t you worry. You could even add some creepy eyeballs to a bowl of this on the treat table to do the trick.

6 Vegan Halloween Candy Bars You Need in Your Life

October 25, 2017 By julia

Trick or Treat or give me something VEGAN, SCRUMPTIOUS, & HEALTHY to eat! (AKA vegan halloween candy bars).

I’ll take the third option. And yes, ‘healthy’, ‘vegan’, and ‘scrumptious’ can happen simultaneously.

…even on Halloween.

It’s easy to bring out the tickle trunk and throw on your creepy wig, but it’s not so easy to skip the treats flowing to you from every dark corner.

Mars Bars, Snickers, Twix and Kit Kats… Coffee Crisp, Caramilk, Reece’s Peanut Butter cups and Oh Henrys, OH MY.

As a kid, I always went for the treat of course (what kid doesn’t??), followed by a full blown sprint to the next house, just to make sure I had enough time to hit up the haunted houses for a second round. Then came the organizing of the mega-bag of trick-or-treat goodies into their appropriate category, while gobbling down candy until the goblins came home. After the first night of indulgence, the ‘Goblin’ came by the house while we were sleeping and stole half of my earnings. At least he always left a cute, scribbly note…. right, MOM?

Anyways…I’m thankful for that because those halloween treats may pack a tasteful punch, but along with that comes additives, refined sugar, milk fat, preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, gelatine, artificial colours and flavours, and hydrogenated palm oil. Not only are these ingredients harsh on your body, mood, energy, cholesterol level, blood sugar level and digestion, but Mother Nature pays a price too. Yes, animal agriculture is number 1 when it comes to rainforest deforestation, green house gas emissions, water use and ocean dead zones, but the mass production of palm and corn for processed foods (like Halloween faves) is not far behind.

OK enough of the goblins and ghouls, witches and spiders, doom and gloom, talk… It’s time to get into these delicious Halloween  alternatives to your favourite childhood treats!

I scoured the web to find delicious halloween candy bars from a few of my favourite bloggers and rounded them up for you!

Which one will you try??

If there’s one thing to take away from this, let i If there’s one thing to take away from this, let it be this:

🐾 Animals are sentient. They feel pain, fear, comfort, connection, and love. They are also the most vulnerable beings in our world and deserve the all love and protection we humans can offer.

Next time you’re hugging your dog, think about how lucky they are to be safe in your arms… and then ask yourself: 

Why wouldn’t all animals deserve that same love and care?

There’s no doubt that the Summit for Animals sparked more inspiration for all the 500+ attendees 🐾

🎤Big themes: 
Compassionate leadership, misleading farming practices, access to care, humane education, AI, happy donors, community impact, wildlife coexistence, photojournalism, housing for fur babies, and the future of animal welfare in Canada.

Where are my breakfast-for-dinner people at?! Tof Where are my breakfast-for-dinner people at?!

Tofu scramble for the win again.

This time I used all three tofus 👌
One each: firm, medium, and soft.
It made the best scramble texture.

How to:
	•	Sauté ½ red onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 8 chopped mushrooms, and 1 orange pepper

	•	Add 1 tbsp @shaniseasoning vegan egg spice
or: ½ tsp turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, black salt, smoked paprika + 1 tbsp nutritional yeast

	•	Crumble in 3 tofu blocks

	•	Mix together and serve with your favourite sourdough and a mega salad

	•	Top with @sriracha_ca and green onion

💪🏽 20–30 g protein on this beauty plate 🤤

POV: You’re a chef and nutritionist but, keeping u POV: You’re a chef and nutritionist but, keeping up with aesthetic, Instagram-perfect photos with all other life happenings is leading to simply… not posting much.

BUT the passion for sharing PLANT BASED, DELISH NUTRISH food ideas and tips has never left (and never will).

So… real, unpolished, unpresentable, raw posts coming your way. 

Starting with dinner inspo!
