This dreamy yogurt berry popsicle recipe is made with Greek yogurt, coconut milk, fresh berries, and a hint of honey. Perfect Summer treat and a healthy dessert option!
Lately, I’ve been on a major popsicle kick. Remember my peaches and cream popsicles? Truth is, I’m not mad about it AT ALL. I think everyone should keep their freezers packed with homemade popsicles this Summer, wouldn’t you agree?
Homemade vegan pesto, grape tomatoes, peas, and gemelli pasta create this delicious side dish. Bring this vegan pesto pasta salad to a cookout for a healthy chilled pasta salad.
I love pasta salad. I mean who wouldn’t? It’s carbs, veggies, and an irresistible dressing. I love that this recipe is not mayonnaise-base and it full of fresh Summer vegetables.
Here’s a break down of the ingredients:
Creamy Greek yogurt combined with fresh peaches, crunchy granola, and honey makes the BEST popsicle! These healthy peaches and cream popsicles are easy to make, super delicious, and only require 4 ingredients!
Helloooo Summer! Oh, how I’ve missed you.
Summer has always been my favorite season. Longer days, warm weather, beaches, and the FOOD. I love love love Summer fruits and veggies and peaches are no exception. Also, today is National Peaches and Cream Day! Like what perfect timing?!
This classic three bean salad is all in the name – three beans! Kidney beans, chickpeas, and green beans tossed in a refreshingly light dressing. Perfect for potlucks, cookouts, or simply an easy side dish for dinner.
I’m kicking off Summer with a classic. Something I grew up eating and if you didn’t, well you’re about to!
Let’s just start with the things that I love about three bean salad:
When life hands you lemons, just add some activated charcoal and make lemonade! Charcoal lemonade is the PERFECT way to stay hydrated, detox, and get a taste of Summer all in one sip. Activated charcoal, fresh lemons, and maple syrup make this charcoal lemonade deliciously good.
Charcoal lemonade might look weird (or super cool) depending on how you look at it, but it’s packed with some crazy detox powers.
Lemons and maple syrup are a metabolism boosting combo and when charcoal is added to the mix, it becomes a really healthy (and delicious) beverage! I swear this stuff tastes JUST LIKE regular lemonade.
Activated charcoal is NOT the charcoal you use for grills. It’s charcoal that has been heated at high temperates to make it more digestible. It’s gaining popularity for natural skincare, but it can have the same detoxing benefits for your body as your skin!
It can come in a capsule or powdered form. I like the powdered form, but make sure to measure it and not just “eyeball”!
No-churn banana nice cream is what dreams are made of. Frozen bananas and creamy coconut milk make up the base and its jam-packed with chocolate chips and nuts! Best part is all you need is a food processor and five ingredients to get the job done. Enjoy ice cream without the guilt this Summer!
Perhaps you’ve heard the term before, or maybe you just think there’s a typo, but NICE CREAM is a thing! It’s a delicious vegan substitute for ice cream and instead of cream, we use frozen bananas. The banana base turns into a creamy, indulgent ice cream that is totally dairy-free AND healthy!
But of course, I don’t stop there. In this nice cream recipe, I add cold coconut milk for extra creaminess (and healthy fats).
Soba noodles blanketed in a peanut sauce topped with vegetables and wrapped in a rice paper roll! These vegetable spring rolls are to die for! Dip em in extra peanut sauce, you know, just for good measure. See how easy it is to make this healthy recipe even if you are a spring roll newbie!
Don’t limit yourself to salads as the weather gets warmer. Coming from a true salad lover, this shows how highly I think of these spring rolls.
Spring rolls are a great no cooking option and are PERFECT for lunch or dinner. It’s an easy way to pack all your carbs, vegetables, and protein in one little (or big) roll to take with you on the go. They are so easy to make ahead so you can have meals planned out for days. That leaves more time for you to enjoy the warmer weather!
Hip hip for pancakes! Delicious pancakes that take virtually no time to whip up and only require THREE INGREDIENTS? Sign me up, please! These vegan banana pancakes are great for weekend breakfast or brunch and are so comforting, you won’t believe they are entirely plant-based! Grab some maple syrup and come join me for a pancake party!
Are you team pancake or team waffles? Personally, I’m team both BUT if I had to choose, pancakes take the cake. I catch myself making pancakes on the weekend far too often, as if that’s such a thing. I wanted a recipe that was easy to make for one, but also easy to scale up when cooking for friends. This recipe is perfect for that and not to mention calls for ingredients that are always on hand (at least in my household).
What better ingredient for energy bites than a little dose of caffeine? These no-bake energy balls are the perfect bite-sized snack! Loaded with peanut butter, dates, coffee, chocolate, and dusted with cocoa powder, these are perfect for pre and post workout or just a snack on to go!
Energy bites, protein balls, energy balls, whatever you wanna call em, they have achieved major popularity in the healthy food world. They are packed with healthy ingredients all in a perfect portion.
I made some coconut lime energy bites awhile back and I honestly cannot believe it took me this long to test out a chocolate coffee version. Well probably not the best-suited recipe for children (they have too much energy as is), you can omit coffee to make them kid-friendly. Chocolate peanut butter energy balls are still delicious and definitely a kid-approved flavor combo.
I, however, am I huge coffee fan and coffee flavor foods are no exception. The coffee stays for me and I love these mocha energy bites! Let’s get you to love them too.
Prepare to be wowed by this vegan lemon loaf recipe! Moist lemon cake covered in a perfectly sweetened lemon glaze is what dreams are made of. Whip up this lemon loaf with a handful of simple ingredients!
This lemon loaf recipe is everything to me, and maybe I’m slightly biased because I, for one, am a huge lemon dessert fan. Give me lemon cake, lemon scones, lemon cookies any day over anything chocolate.
Don’t get me wrong, chocolate is amazing too. I’m a major sweets fan, but light citrusy desserts are where it’s at.
