After you eat this recipe, you will most likely call all of your friends and say, “You simply have to try this recipe.” Better yet, perhaps you will save it in your recipe bank and make it for Thanksgiving, or another potluck party during the holidays. Not only does it deliver impressive flavor, but it also provides lots of vitamins and minerals. The Brussels sprouts, which typically get a bad rap, come out to be just soft enough with a sticky-sweet exterior glaze. And it all comes together in just about 30 minutes!

Maple syrup is a common ingredient used in many fall-inspired recipes. It lends itself to those savory, aromatic spices in a variety of sweet and savory recipes. The slightly bitter flavor of Brussels sprouts needs the subtle sweetness that maple syrup provides. The fresh orange juice and orange zest also add a sweet citrusy flavor. If you didn’t look at what you were eating, you wouldn’t even know that you were eating Brussels sprouts. By the way, the fresh orange zest is a non-negotiable. Just do yourself a favor and use it!

One thing to note about Brussels sprouts is that you’ll want to give them a good rinse, scrubbing any dirt or grime off them. You may even want to peel one or two of the outer leaves to ensure cleanliness. Slice the Brussels in half to ensure even cooking, or quarter them if your sprouts are larger. The key to getting a classic, caramelized glaze on one side, though, is to place the sprouts cut-side down on the baking sheet.

Welcome to yet another simple, no-bake energy ball recipe. These beautiful blueberry bliss balls (say that five times fast) are about to be your new favorite snack, especially if you’ve been looking for something to fuel your lethargic afternoons. Eat one or two of these before a workout, or enjoy one as a post-workout snack to help kick-start the muscle repair process. Just make sure that you don’t eat all of them at once. That would most likely be impossible due to the massive amount of calories.

If you have never had dates, just know that they provide natural sweetness with a flavor that is reminiscent of caramel. In fact, you can actually blend dates with a little water to make a date caramel, which is a great alternative to traditional caramel. If you are interested in that recipe, click here. Dates are necessary in this recipe for two reasons: providing sweetness and helping bind the other ingredients together. Just make sure that you pit the dates prior to blending them with the other ingredients. Another step that can help is if you soak the pitted dates in warm water to help soften them before blending.

One thing to note is that this recipe is that it does not use fresh blueberries. You will need to procure dried blueberries, but make sure that they are free of added sugars and processed ingredients, such as sulfur dioxide. If you cannot find dried blueberries, you can choose another variety of dried fruit, such as dried apricots. The main thing to remember is that you do not want to have added sugars in whichever dried fruit you decide to use. And finally, if you do not like raw cashews, choose another nut, such as raw almonds, walnuts, pecans, pistachios, or hazelnuts.

Get ready for one of the best raw vegan treats we’ve ever published on this website. Not only is it very easy to make, but it also has a highly addictive flavor that may replace sugar in your recipes! This raw vegan date caramel is naturally sweet and creamy, as it is made from pureed dates, homemade almond milk, sea salt, and vanilla extract. After blending the ingredients in a food processor until smooth, the result is a delightful alternative to traditional caramel. We don’t recommend that you eat the entire recipe in one sitting, but we will say that it is a somewhat healthy option for those who have a sweet tooth.

The process is simple: add pitted Medjool dates, homemade almond milk, sea salt, and vanilla extract to a food processor and blend until smooth and luscious. You should end up with a thick, almost paste-like texture that can drizzle over desserts. You can also use it as a dip or enjoyed straight from the jar. This indulgent treat is not only a delightful way to satisfy your sweet tooth but also packed with nutrients, speaking of which:

• A single serving of dates contains about seven grams of fiber, which aids digestion and helps regulate bowel movements. These benefits can help you avoid constipation.
• Dates are naturally sweet and can replace refined sugars in many recipes, which makes them a healthier, more nutritious option if you have a sweet tooth.
• Because dates have a naturally high sugar content (including fructose, glucose, and sucrose), they provide a quick energy boost. That makes dates an ideal snack for anyone who needs a quick pick-me-up.
• Due to their potassium and magnesium content, dates are beneficial for heart health. Researchers note that dates work to regulate blood pressure and reduce cholesterol levels.

People have an idea of which recipes tahini belongs to. Believe it or not, tahini is not solely reserved for dressings, hummus, and other dips or sauces. Tahini has a place in desserts, providing an earthy nuttiness that complements sweeter ingredients, such as dates, maple syrup, or agave. Some people regularly make tahini fudge! When you mix tahini with dates, however, you get an incredibly nourishing, filling treat. That ingredient combination is almost like a raw vegan version of salted caramel. Plus, that duo provides lots of fiber, potassium, and magnesium, all of which help the body function optimally.

One of the reasons why you’ll love this recipe is because of its simplicity. It comes together in a matter of minutes and it’s packed with natural sweetness. You get a hint of bitterness from the raw cacao powder, in addition to a surprising amount of nutrition. Just one tablespoon of raw cacao powder contains the following nutritional profile:

• 2 grams (g) of fat
• 29 calories
• 1 g of protein
• 2 g carbohydrates
• 11% of the daily value (DV) of fiber
• 5% of the DV of vitamin D
• 5% of the DV of potassium
• 1% of the DV of iron
• 1% of the DV of calcium

For the dates, we recommend that you go with Medjool dates, as they are generally bigger and have more of a caramel-like texture and flavor. They can be harder to find, depending on where you are, so you can replace them with regular dates if you cannot locate Medjools. If you cannot find Medjool dates, use two regular dates for every one Medjool date. Finally, if the dates are not soft, you can soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes before blending. Just make sure to discard the soaking liquid.

Isn’t it amazing that something like salted caramel could be transformed into a healthy, raw vegan treat? Yes, yes it is. We love making something as classically unhealthy as salted caramel into a healthy recipe. Not only is there no added sugar in this recipe, but it also contains real fruit and whole natural ingredients. Even the almond milk is homemade! You can get a recipe for the almond milk by clicking here.

The trick to making raw vegan caramel comes down to one ingredient: dates. Dates have a natural caramel-like flavor, so all you need to do to create a salted caramel smoothie is add a few more ingredients into the mix. Now that the caramel flavor is sorted, you need ingredients to bulk up the smoothie. Banana is always an excellent go-to ingredient to make smoothies thick and creamy. Plus, bananas offer a pleasant sweetness that enhances the caramel flavor from the date.

If you want to expand the nutritional profile of this smoothie, you can add a spoonful of raw almond butter. This addition will also add more protein and healthy fats, making the smoothie more filling. It’s completely optional, so you can choose your own destiny. This smoothie also contains a little ground flaxseed, which offers omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and lots of fiber. Using ground flaxseed in a smoothie is better than adding whole flax seeds. The reason for this is because you may not blend up the flax seeds at all, but the ground version is easily incorporate with the rest of the ingredients.

When you follow a raw vegan diet, you can have your dessert and eat it too! Although the raw vegan diet can seem like a limiting eating experience, you can enjoy numerous recipes that surprise and excite your taste buds. You can’t make every classic recipe that you know and love, but there are many raw renditions like this ice cream recipe.

In order to achieve a creamy base, you need to blend up frozen bananas. That means that you need to have a strong, high-speed blender, or a food processor to blend the ingredients thoroughly. You don’t want chunks of bananas in your bite of ice cream, so make sure to blend until you achieve a smooth consistency. This can take a couple minutes, but it’s ultimately worth it. The raw cashew butter, which you can purchase in a variety of grocery stores, contributes to the creamy texture. You then have to blend the caramel separately

This isn’t caramel in the traditional sense; rather, it’s date caramel. It’s more akin to date syrup, which you make by blending dates with some homemade almond milk (click here for recipe), sea salt, and alcohol-free vanilla extract. It’s integral that you soak the dates in water for about 30 minutes prior to blending to help soften them. This makes the blending process much easier. You only mix in the date caramel right before you serve the nice cream, otherwise it will harden and be unpleasant to eat if you freeze it.

Sometimes, caramel sauces take a while to yield the perfect consistency and flavor. You have to monitor it constantly, ensuring that it doesn’t burn. The one problem with traditional caramel is that it’s heavy on the sugar, which can be quite overbearing. This recipe gives you the classic caramel flavor that you crave, only with much less sugar and some sea salt to accent the flavor.

People on the raw vegan diet cannot enjoy this caramel recipe, as it requires cooking. They can, however, enjoy a raw date syrup, which is the next best thing. Click here to make that recipe. This salted caramel recipe has is perfectly luxurious and creamy, and the coconut milk and tahini have a lot to do with that. It may seem odd to add tahini to a dessert because people add to hummus, salad dressings, and marinades. Believe it or not, tahini is not just for savory recipes. In fact, the sesame flavor adds a beautiful nuttiness to this caramel sauce.

This caramel sauce only contains five ingredients and comes together in 10 minutes, making it the perfect last minute dessert sauce. It goes great on homemade ice cream, raw apple slices, or classic fall dessert recipes that you typically find at Thanksgiving. We hope you enjoy it.
