This spinach, banana, and almond butter smoothie tastes like it was made for a superhero. Although it doesn’t give you the ability to fly or superman-like strength, it does supercharge your body with healthy fats, protein, fiber, and more. Spinach, although it colors the smoothie green, takes a back seat to the sweetness of the banana and nuttiness of the almond butter. There’s no way to be sure, but legend has it that your taste buds do a little dance after every slurp because the smoothie is that tasty! The almond butter really adds that extra oomph of flavor, so much so that you’ll be slurping it down faster than you can say “superfood.”

Where do we begin in regards to the health benefits? This smoothie is like a professional shot to the liver, but in the best way possible. Spinach is full of iron and fiber, which works to keep you satiated and fuller for longer. Bananas offer a lot of a potassium, which not only works to keep sodium levels down, but also aids muscle recovery. The almond butter is an excellent source of protein and healthy fats, not to mention nutty goodness. When you add all of those ingredients together, even though it isn’t the longest list of ingredients, you end up with a tasty, nutritious smoothie. One glass may even have you feeling like Popeye! Just be sure to brush your teeth after because you don’t want to walk around with spinach in your teeth all day.

This smoothie combines the creaminess of the buttery avocado, sweetness of the banana, and nuttiness of raw almond butter for a balanced smoothie. It makes for a refreshing snack, filling breakfast, or post-workout refuel option. Each sip leaves you craving more! In fact, we can almost guarantee that this smoothie will become a regular in your smoothie rotation. If it does, please let us know!

This avocado smoothie not only impresses in the flavor department, but also on the nutritional front. Here’s a quick overview of how the main ingredients in this smoothie benefit your overall health:

• Avocado: Contributing a rich and creamy texture to the smoothie, avocados provide healthy fats, essential vitamins, and minerals. Avocados also offer beta-sitosterol, which, when consumed with other plant sterols, may help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
• Banana: Some people refer to the banana as nature’s perfect snack because they are full of complex carbs, fiber, and minerals like potassium and magnesium. Bananas contain vitamin B6, which helps to regulate appetite, improve immune function, aid nervous system function, and regulate sleep.
• Spinach: Although kale gets a lot of attention, spinach is one of the healthiest leafy greens out there. It provides lots of folate, iron, magnesium, fiber, and vitamins A, C, and K. Spinach also has a high amount of zeaxanthin and caroteinoids, which work to flush out free radicals from the body.
• Almond Butter: A 2021 controlled trial found that almond butter may help decrease A1C, which indicated the average blood sugar levels. Since almonds have shown to improve insulin resistance, the thought is that raw almond butter also has this benefit. Plus, it is rich in fiber, protein, and unsaturated fats.

The air fryer is a wonderful culinary tool that can save you time if you need to make meals in a pinch. Think of an air fryer like a compact convection oven. It takes a fraction of the time to make a meal in the air fryer than it does to make in the oven. The only thing to keep in mind is that you do not want to overcrowd your air fryer, or else your food won’t cook evenly. The other thing to consider is the wetter your food is, the longer it will take to crisp up. Drizzle some oil over your food or spray it with avocado oil cooking spray before you air fry your food

These air-fried pineapple tofu skewers are the perfect entree for any night of the week. You marinate the skewers in a sweet and gingery almond butter sauce prior to sticking them in the air fryer. Depending how long your skewers are, you may get anywhere between four to seven skewers. Just make sure that you leave a little space between the veggies and tofu cubes on the skewers to allow for even cooking. Additionally, we recommend that you either make some extra marinade or reserve some to use as a dipping sauce when you get ready to eat the skewers. There isn’t much else to say, other than these may be the tastiest vegan skewers you’ve ever eaten!

Do you ever go to the grocery store and find inspiration for a recipe based on ingredients you notice? Perhaps inspiration strikes when you visit a farmer’s market, which only has certain produce items available. You may think of something, but the result scares you a bit. We understand not wanting to waste food, but sometimes beautiful recipes happen when you experiment.

That is exactly how we feel about the powerful pear smoothie. It combines the sweet, earthy flavor of pear with creamy homemade almond milk and spicy cinnamon. The raw almond butter also adds a nutty element to this flavor, in addition to providing healthy fats and protein. We encourage you to add a sprinkle of sea salt, an optional ingredient, to play off the almond butter flavor. Think of this like sea salt and caramel or sea salt and chocolate. These pairings just go well together!

Don’t worry about this smoothie not being sweet, though. You have the natural sugars from the pear, banana, and maple syrup. You can always try the smoothie before adding the maple syrup to the blender to see if that extra sweetness is necessary. It’s possible that you’ll enjoy the flavor combinations of the other ingredients. Just remember to save the almond pulp after you make the almond milk because you can use it in a couple different raw vegan recipes. It works great as a binder in raw vegan desserts or energy bites!

How do you transform a classic candy into a much healthier treat? First off, you clicked on this recipe, so you are on the right path. Energy balls are the best snacks because they pack healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and more into bite-sized balls. Think of them like little nuggets of deliciousness because they easily take on the flavors of any candy or cookie, only without all the processed sugar and fat.

All you need is a food processor, ingredients, and your energy balls are a few minutes of pulsing away from becoming a real life snack. The blending part is the easiest component to the recipe. When it comes time to shape them into bite-size balls, things can be clean or messy. You can use a tablespoon or cookie scooper to form little balls, or you can use your hands. If you really want to avoid a mess on your hands, you can wear disposable gloves, wet them with water, and form the energy balls. Or, you can simply wet your bare hands with water before forming the balls. That will help avoid sticking or clumping!

The only thing to be careful about with this turtle energy balls is how many you eat in one sitting. Because they contain raw almond butter, dates, raw pecans, and chia seeds, they are high in calories. Because they have contain healthy fats, fiber, and protein, you don’t need to eat a lot to get full. Enjoy one or two between meals and you will be golden!

There is a snack problem in the United States. Too often to people snack on foods that don’t satisfy their hunger. It is impossible to only reach into a bag of chips a couple times if you want to snack. You can easily finish a bag of chips because there are no real nutrients. Snacking on processed foods will only lead you to eat more, increasing your caloric intake and your risk of weight gain. Instead, it is better to snack on foods that satiate you, such as energy balls.

With the arrival of fall comes the tidal wave of pumpkin spice, and we are more than ready for impact. Pumpkin spice utilizes warming fall spices and other seasonal ingredients. Although canned pumpkin puree is available year round, it is more prevalent on supermarket shelves during the fall and winter months. It is very important that you do not purchase pumpkin pie filling for this recipe. Pumpkin pie filling contains preservatives and excess sodium and sugar. So make sure to get 100% pure pumpkin puree to stay healthy.

Before you scroll down to the ingredients, please note that you should not substitute the coconut flour with another type of flour as a one to one ratio. That will not work. Coconut flour acts like a sponge, absorbing liquid incredibly well. You can keep this keto-approved by using almond meal or almond flour, but you will have to double the amount. Should you use another flour like oat flour, the recipe will no longer be keto-approved, nor will it be gluten-free.

There’s nothing better or easier than a blender dressing. Add all of the ingredients to the blender, blitz until smooth, and then enjoy immediately. Blender dressings thoroughly incorporate all of the ingredients, and you can always adjust flavors if necessary. With this Thai dressing, you may need to tinker with measurements to appease your palate, but the recipe is evenly balanced.

Not only is this Thai dressing great on salads, but it also works as a marinade or dipping sauce. In addition to being raw vegan, this recipe happens to be Whole30- and paleo-approved. That’s what happens when you focus on real foods! The raw almond butter provides a nutty, slightly salty flavor that is balanced by the coconut aminos, dates, and lime juice. If you know Thai flavors, you know that there are many ingredients, but they all balance each other out. You have citrus, spice, nutty, sweet, salty, and every other nook and cranny of the flavor spectrum!

One thing to keep in mind when making this dressing is that you have to use a neutral-flavored oil. That doesn’t mean that you go straight for unhealthy vegetable or corn oil; rather, use avocado oil or grapeseed oil instead of olive oil. The recipe calls for avocado oil, but grapeseed oil is an acceptable replacement. Olive oil will alter the flavor because it has a specific flavor that doesn’t necessarily mesh with the rest of the ingredients.

Two things we love in this world are almonds and dates. We love many things, but these two food ingredients are versatile, delicious, filling, and loaded with essential vitamins and minerals.

Add the creamy raw almond butter into the equation and you have a recipe for some of the best raw vegan energy bars you can imagine.

Full of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, these homemade almond butter bars are about to become your favorite go-to snack. While there are many reasons to love almonds, especially in regards to their flavor, we appreciate their health properties. Many health studies confirmed that almonds have the ability to boost brain health, regulate cholesterol levels and blood sugar, reduce inflammation, promote heart health, and more. Because of their antioxidant content, almonds may enhance skin complexion and fight free radicals. Most importantly, they provide you sustained energy. And who doesn’t need more energy? Well, maybe not your children, but adults can always use a little boost, especially to avoid energy drinks between meals. Use food to help energize the body and prevent unnecessary, unhealthy snacking.

When it comes to keto smoothies, you need the right balance of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. While some green smoothies are very healthy and taste great, you cannot enjoy them on the keto diet. The reason for this is because they tend to contain a lot of fruit, such as bananas, mangos, pineapple, or papaya, all of which you have to limit or avoid while on keto. Berries and other low-sugar fruits are acceptable, so you have to be selective with your green smoothie ingredients. Fortunately for you, we did the work to create a high-fat smoothie that won’t give you a blood sugar spike. Plus, it’s a great way to incorporate more greens into your daily diet. That’s something a lot of keto enthusiasts don’t do!

A pro move for this smoothie would be to peel, pit, and cube the avocado and freeze it overnight. If you plan on using avocados in your smoothies, cubing them and freezing them is a great way to prevent them from going bad. Using frozen avocado chunks can also enhances the creaminess of your smoothie, but you don’t have to freeze avocados.

In addition to the avocado, the raw almond butter and homemade almond milk help make this smoothie extra creamy. It’s not quite a milkshake, but it’s not far from it! The squeeze of fresh lemon is the perfect kiss of zest that really sets off the other flavors. We hope you love it!
