Mango Chili Lime Sorbet

Longer days and warmer weather can mean only one thing: cooling, sweet treats become quite heavenly. The cold is a beautiful welcome from the intense dry or humid heat, depending on where you live. The combo of chili, lime, and mango brings those summer sensations together in one cooling and delicious treat. Your taste buds get hit with a subtle heat from the chili powder, while those citrusy bits of energetic lime zest remain with you as the sweet and tropical mango coats the tongue. To create a luxurious texture and creamy undertone, you have the nutty, homemade almond milk.

There are many reasons to love this recipe, one of them being the fact that this only contains five ingredients. Unlike a mango sorbet from the grocery store, this recipe does not contain copious amounts of sugar per serving. The sweetness primarily comes from the mango, which you cube and freeze overnight prior to making this recipe. Because the lime juice and zest bring a tangy acidity and the chili brings spice, we added a touch of maple syrup. You can start with a little less maple syrup and increase the amount from there.

In order to create a more pleasant eating experience, make sure that you blend everything until smooth and creamy. You don’t want any frozen mango chunks in the sorbet! Using a high-speed blender is a possibility, but you may have an easier time creating a smooth and creamy consistency. Whichever kitchen appliance you use to make the sorbet, make sure that you scrape down the sides of the processor/blender to fully incorporate all the ingredients. When ready to serve, feel free to dust with some chili powder or add a squeeze of lime.

Pineapple Jicama And Cucumber Salad

Vincent Stevens — Sat, 17 May 2025 17:02:00 +0000

When the weather gets warmer, we have to bust out the refreshing recipes. Nothing quite like adding a little zest to your life with some spicy and sweet flavor combinations. That’s exactly what this pineapple jicama and cucumber salad is! If you are familiar with Mexican fruit vendors, you’ll understand this recipe perfectly. Typically, the vendor slices up a variety of fruits, such as papaya, melon, pineapple, jicama, cucumber, mango, and more, and places it in a cup or plate. Anyone can prepare a bowl of fruit, but the toppings make the recipe. The fruit is dressed with lime juice, a chili lime seasoning (typically Tajin), and Chamoy, which is a salty sweet condiment that has a touch of spice.

Now, both Chamoy and Tajin are not the healthiest of ingredients, so you somewhat negate the health benefits of the fruits you eat by drowning them in both of these. The good news is that you can make a healthier rendition of a fruit cart staple. You can use chili powder, lime juice, fresh orange juice, and a hint of agave to flavor your already sweet and delicious fruit. But why add the jicama? Well, jicama is a tuber that exhibits a crisp, crunchy texture and mildly nutty flavor. It is a fun way to get fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and inulin, a prebiotic fiber that supports healthy digestion. Plus, jicama offers an assortment of antioxidant compounds that may help prevent cell damage and oxidative stress!

What if you are not a fan of spice? You can opt out of the chili powder entirely, or you can choose to reduce the amount and increase as you get more comfortable with the spice level. With the addition of two citrus juices and agave, though, your palate should be just fine!

Chili Lime Watermelon Snack

Sometimes, you just need a little heat to complement your sweet, or a little zest to impress. In case you are not familiar with seasoning your fruit, let this recipe be your entry point. Let us first explain that there is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying the refreshing flavors of fresh produce. Eating a juicy peach on a hot summer day is magical, as is enjoying a crisp apple in the middle of fall. Every now and again, though, you can elevate your fruit with just a touch of citrus and spice.

A lot of cultures salt their melons and add a squeeze of lemon or lime to bring out the flavor. This is a popular serving method for cantaloupe in Italy. For this chili lime watermelon snack, though, we get inspiration from Mexico, where putting chili powder, salt, lime, and other seasonings on fruit is very popular. It’s an ingenious hack that takes fruit, or vegetables, to a new level. Talk about adding a little pep to your step! Something about the spicy sweet flavor combination with a kiss of zesty lime makes you wanna get moving!

The great thing about watermelon is that it pairs beautifully with myriad flavors. You can add it to salsas, salads, and desserts. You can even grill it for a savory summer appetizer. This chili lime watermelon is just another way to be creative with one of summer’s most popular fruits. Plus, this recipe is much healthier than adding an overly salty, processed syrup to your fruit. Always go the healthier route if possible!

Homemade Chili Seasoning

Vincent Stevens — Wed, 03 Jul 2024 17:48:00 +0000

We aren’t sure how much you use spice blends, but if you are like most people, chances are you go through them quickly. Maybe you get the crazy idea to try your hand at making your own spice blends for a change! Once you do that and realize the difference in flavor, you may never go back to store bought blends. Such is the case for this homemade chili seasoning, which is free of preservatives and additives.

Chili seasoning is not solely reserved for your favorite batch of chili; rather you can add it to salad dressings or other dishes. You most likely have the spices you need to make this chili seasoning in your spice cabinet or drawer. If ever you need to make more, you can buy more individual spices and create the spice blend. The great thing about that is that you will avoid the harmful ingredients, especially excess amounts of sodium, found in pre-mixed seasonings and packets.

A chili seasoning packet seems convenient, but not in regards to your health. In stores, a pre-mixed packet of chili seasoning can contain anti-caking agents and artificial flavors. In reality, chili seasoning typically consists of five to eight spices. Those spices usually include chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, and a few others. You can always customize the ingredients to tailor the flavor to your liking. And as a final note, chili powder is not the same as chili seasoning. That’s that!

Spicy Fruit Salad

Vincent Stevens — Wed, 17 Apr 2024 17:44:00 +0000

How can you make fresh fruit more delicious? Put some chili powder on it and experience flavor like never before. Trust us when we tell you that the spice complements the sweetness of each fruit in this fruit salad. If you live in a place where fruit carts are on various streets and street corners, you know how special the spicy sweet fruit assembly is. If you don’t have access to such a fruit cart, get ready for this fruit salad to blow your taste buds away.

The beautiful thing about this spicy fruit salad is that it requires less than 10 ingredients and just 15 minutes of your time. Once you cut up the fruit, which can take a while or no time at all (depending on your knife skills), you combine them with the other ingredients. The chili powder gives just a subtle kick, so as not to overpower the natural fruit flavor. Plus, you get a little extra sweetness from the raw agave nectar. The fresh lime juice helps to wake up the natural sugars in the fruit, giving you a great balance of tart, spicy, and sweet.

This fruit salad is meant for warmer days, making the spring and summer months the best times to enjoy this recipe. Additionally, you can customize the ingredients and use what is available based on the season. For example, you can use melons or stone fruit in the summer when they are in season. Whenever possible, shop seasonally for optimum flavor and freshness. We hope you enjoy the recipe!

Sweet Chili Jicama Sticks

Vincent Stevens — Fri, 05 Apr 2024 17:40:00 +0000

If you are new to jicama, this recipe is the perfect way to enjoy this root vegetable, which is commonly treated like a fruit. Peel and cut the jicama into sticks and drizzle the sweet and spicy concoction over them. Allow the sticks to marinate for 10 minutes before serving. This recipe will surely become a family favorite, especially if you are looking to enjoy healthier snacks. No preservatives, no dyes, no artificial sweeteners, and no refined grains, just sweet and spicy deliciousness.

The jicama is a root vegetable that has thick, brown skin and crispy white flesh. It has a similar texture to an Asian pear or apple, but the flavor is quite mild. That’s why a lot of people jazz it up with with a sweet and spicy sauce known as Chamoy. You’ll commonly see this vibrantly red sauce at fruit carts, but it is very unhealthy for you, exhibiting nearly 850 milligrams of sodium per serving. Not to mention, seasoning the jicama with tajin only adds to the sodium content.

Fortunately for you, these jicama sticks are not coated in sodium-rich, nearly-fluorescent ingredients. Whisk together some raw agave nectar, freshly squeezed lime juice, chili powder, and sea salt before drizzling the mixture over the jicama. This recipe lasts for about three days, provided you store the jicama in an airtight container in the fridge. If you want to prep it for an entire week, keep the dressing and jicama sticks separate, only tossing the sticks in sauce when you want to enjoy them.

15-Minute Raw Vegan Tacos

Vincent Stevens — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 17:41:00 +0000

What do you love about tacos? All of the flavor tends to come from the seasonings on the meat. Well, you can use the same seasonings that impart those smoky, robust, and signature taco flare on a raw vegan diet. Cumin, chili powder, paprika, sea salt, and garlic can all be enjoyed while cleansing. But what about the meat? While you cannot have meat, you can pulse walnuts and packaged sun-dried tomatoes with the spices to achieve a ground beef-like texture.

The taco “meat” that you end up with is slightly chunky and incredibly hearty. For the sun-dried tomatoes, make sure to buy the packaged variety, not the ones sold in oil. The acidity from the sun-dried tomato can be a little intense, but the avocado, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, and lettuce leaf help counteract the salt. In fact, the romaine lettuce leaf, which acts as the tortilla in this recipe, offers a refreshing crunch. Hit the taco with a squeeze of fresh lime and you’ll be transported to your favorite taco stand.

If you enjoy the walnut taco “meat” in this recipe, you can use it in other creations. Save some and place a dollop or two on a salad during the cleanse. You can also pulse some cauliflower in a food processor to achieve cauliflower rice and mix in the taco “meat” with it. You’ll have your very own raw vegan burrito bowl, which you can top with tomatoes, avocado, onion, and cilantro. The possibilities are truly endless!

Chili Lime Tahini Sauce

Vincent Stevens — Sat, 24 Sep 2022 17:33:00 +0000

If you’ve been following our recipes for a while, you know how much we love a tasty tahini dressing or sauce. Tahini is a nutty ingredient that you can enjoy during your cleanse, so long as the sesame seeds are not roasted. Tahini makes for a great base for any sauce or dressing, and it also provides a nutty flavor.

You need to spice up tahini, though, as it can be pasty and slightly boring on its own. This sauce has a little kick from the chili powder and beautiful, fresh acidity from the lime juice. Plus, you can always take the spice level up a notch by adding a dash or two of cayenne. That is completely up to you and your ability to handle spice, though. The paprika helps to round out the flavor, contributing a somewhat smoky flavor to this sauce.

The great thing about this recipe is that you can enjoy it as a sauce, dip, or dressing. Drizzling this over your salad will give it a southwest vibe. Just remember that you cannot include corn, beans, or tortilla strips in your salad if you are cleansing. If you want to enjoy so after cleansing, please do so, but just keep your sodium intake in mind in regards to those foods. Lastly, enjoy this as a dip for raw veggies or pour it over some raw tacos to give them a creamy, spicy flare.
