Have you been wanting to make some sort of healthy dessert while cleansing? How about a decadent chocolate ice cream that you can enjoy guilt-free? If you answered “yes” to those two questions, then you clicked on the right recipe. The great thing about this chocolate ice cream is that you don’t need to churn it, meaning you don’t have to go buy an ice cream machine. You just need a food processor or blender, a container, the ingredients, and a freezer. Plus, it is made with avocados and bananas, both of which create an ultra creamy texture.

If you want to make the smoothest, creamiest ice cream, we suggest you use a food processor or high-speed blender. The reason for this is because both of these appliances will blend your ingredients thoroughly, meaning you won’t have any rogue banana or avocado chunks in your ice cream. The last thing you want when enjoying dessert is to encounter a large piece of avocado. Because of the high-fat and creamy nature of avocado, this non-dairy ice cream has a similar texture ice cream made with dairy.

For the liquid, you can use homemade almond milk if you prefer. We chose to use homemade cashew milk for this recipe because it creates a creamier texture in your ice cream. If you don’t have cashews on hand and don’t want to run to the store because you have almonds, make almond milk. You don’t need to change the measurement if you use one or the other.

One thing is for certain: you feel a lot better after enjoying a raw vegan dessert than after you eat a pint of ice cream or packaged pastry. Think of this dessert as raw vegan comfort food, only this recipe puts a zesty spin on a timeless classic. Carrot cake, depending on who you ask, ranks high in the dessert world, but all of the calories, unhealthy fats, sugar, and dairy products that go into it are not kind to the gut. Fortunately, this healthier, raw rendition provides all the flavor without the unwanted bloating that comes with eating regular cake.

Have you noticed that a lot of carrot cake recipes contain pineapple chunks? That is a personal preference, but it an add an interesting, somewhat weird, flavor to the cake. When you cut into a carrot cake and see real bits of carrot, though, you know you are in for a treat. Grated carrots add a surprising sweetness to carrot cake, and the fresh lemon and orange are very complementary. Your palate craves freshness and acid, which both the lemon and orange offer. But make no mistake: this is not a citrus-forward dessert like a lemon bar. This is carrot cake that has notes of refreshing citrus!

You can choose to make this raw vegan carrot cake in a round cake or pie pan, or you can make tiny cupcakes. Whichever method you choose is completely fine, but if the smaller individual pieces help you control your portions, go that route.

Classically, most desserts contain a lot of unhealthy sugars, refined carbohydrates, and very little nutrients. This raw vegan peaches and cream recipe satisfies your sweet craving and offers many nutritional benefits.

How is a two-ingredient chocolate truffle even possible? How could such a truffle be raw vegan? We have two ingredients that will explain: raw cacao powder and dates. This heavenly combination is the perfect combination of sweet and bitter. Because the raw cacao powder is unsweetened, it retains that classic bitterness from dark chocolate. Each bite is wonderfully balanced, but careful not to eat too much of them. Dates contain a lot calories and sugars and even though the sugars are natural, keep that in mind as you enjoy these desserts.

Dates are incredibly useful on the raw vegan diet. You can use them to sweeten smoothies or dressings, or incorporate them into desserts. We love Medjool dates, but make sure that they don’t contain any added sugars or preservatives. Typically, you have to buy dates in bulk. If you are worried that you won’t use them, you can pit the dates and then freeze them to keep them fresh for longer. When ready to use, you can soak the frozen dates in warm water before blending to ease that process.

Blitz these two ingredients together in a food processor until you achieve a smooth paste. The only thing left to do is form the mixture into small, bite-size truffles, and place them in the freezer to harden. You can enjoy them as is, or you can elevate them to the next level by dusting them with more raw cacao powder. We suggest that you dust the truffles instead of rolling them in raw cacao powder. You will likely end up with too much powder on the truffles. Use a mesh strainer to dust them and make sure to rotate them as you do it for an even coat.

Can you refer to these raw chocolate hazelnut truffles as energy bites? If you want to, then yes. We classify this recipe as more of a dessert than a snack, though. That said, they are rich in healthy fats and protein, making them great for satiating you between meals. One or two will do the trick because they are calorically dense because of the raw hazelnuts. Just one ounce of hazelnuts contains 176 calories, so just be mindful of that when enjoying this raw vegan dessert.

We often talk about the health benefits of almonds, walnuts, cashews, raw cacao powder, and other nuts and seeds. Because we don’t typically feature hazelnuts, we wanted to highlight how they benefit your health. Forget about Nutella for a second, because that doesn’t do your body any favors, despite how delicious it is. Although we don’t have a raw vegan version of Nutella, we do have this chocolate spread recipe (click here).

Hazelnuts are naturally rich in vitamin E, magnesium, copper, thiamin, manganese, folate, phosphorus, and vitamin B6. Health experts note that the antioxidants (phenolic compounds) in hazelnuts proved to lower blood cholesterol and inflammation. They may also help protect the heart and were able to significantly reduce oxidative stress. Additionally, the high concentration of antioxidants, specifically the proanthocyanidins, may offer anti-cancer properties. In fact, some test-tube and animal studies showed that proanthocyanidins may may help protect against certain cancers. Lastly, the manganese also aids the reduction of oxidative stress, which may further reduce the risk of cancer.

You can’t enjoy avocado toast while cleansing, but you can enjoy the hell out of avocados. They are excellent sources of healthy fats, magnesium, fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. Adding avocados to your salads, smoothies, sauces, and even breakfasts or desserts, such as this chia pudding, can help you feel fuller for longer. That means that you won’t need to snack as much between meals.

Even though you can enjoy this chia pudding for breakfast, dessert, or a pre- or post-workout snack, it doesn’t taste like guacamole, despite how it looks. This luxurious, creamy pudding has just the right amount of sweetness, thanks to the grade A maple syrup. Should you want to elevate this recipe even more, you can add a dash of alcohol-free vanilla extract and a half of a banana. You do not have to add anything else to the recipe, although we do recommend serving the chia pudding with freshly sliced bananas or fresh berries.

When it comes to preparing this chia pudding, you can go about it a couple different ways. If you decide to make it sans machines, you will have to thoroughly mash the avocado before you mix in the other ingredients by hand. For an easier time, follow the directions (below) and use a blender. If you would rather use an immersion blender because it is your fun new kitchen toy, then go for it! The only suggestion we have for all preparation methods is to fold in the chia seeds by hand, as opposed to blending them.

A dessert doesn’t get much easier than this, folks! Put away the eggs and forget the whole milk, heavy cream, or condensed milk because this recipe is 100% vegan. It is every bit as creamy and rich as regular rice pudding, only this variation is dairy-free. It’s a comforting dessert that people used to enjoy as children, but that rice pudding you used to know probably wasn’t made with oat milk or cashew milk.

The reason that this rice pudding does not call for almond milk or soy milk is because oat milk is wonderfully creamy. If you have a gluten sensitivity, consider replacing oat milk with cashew milk, as that has a lovely, creamy consistency. If you have an aversion to store bought nut or grain milks, feel free to make your own. In fact, we have recipes for both oat milk and cashew milk in our recipe section.

Although the recipe only calls for three ingredients, you have the freedom to add more if you want to enhance or customize the flavor. Include grade A maple syrup, vanilla extract, a pinch of sea salt, raisins, or even cocoa powder. The core recipe only calls for short grain rice, oat milk, and a cinnamon stick, which you can replace with some cardamom pods, depending on your flavor preference. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a swirl of vanilla extract to add a floral note to this lovely vegan dessert. Let us know if it compares to the real thing!

Holiday cookie trays are incredibly addictive. Sprinkles and icing coat sugary creations that have a slightly crunchy exterior and soft and gooey interior. Is there anything better than a freshly baked cookie that is warm and soft on the inside? It’s perfectly acceptable to indulge your sweet tooth every now and again, but reaching for the cookie plate too many times may cause some blood sugar spikes. Instead, make healthier versions of classic holiday cookies, like these vegan snickerdoodle bites.

These snickerdoodle bites have all the nutritional benefits that a healthy snack should have. They offer plenty of healthy fats, plant-based proteins, complex carbohydrates, and a low-glycemic sweetener: maple syrup. You won’t find dairy products, artificial flavors, added sugars, or gluten in these tasty desserts. Just because they are healthy, that doesn’t mean they lack flavor or sweetness. In fact, after sinking your teeth into one of these for your first bite, you may convert to these forever!

If you want to live a little dangerously, go ahead and create a cinnamon/coconut sugar mixture to roll the snickerdoodle bites in after making them. In order to do this step, freeze the bites for 30 minutes after making them. Remove them from the freezer and then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Place them back in the freezer for another 30 minutes and then remove from the freezer to enjoy. If you store them in an airtight container in the fridge, they will keep for two to three weeks. Store them the same way in the freezer for two months!

If there were ever a time to enjoy a green smoothie, it would be during the holidays. Despite the classic holiday song, this smoothie is not a mean one. It is not as vile as a crocodile, nor is it as rugged as a heel. This smoothie easy to make and kid-approved, well, we hope it is! Green Grinch smoothie is truly the opposite of every child’s favorite holiday villain. Just trust us when we say it is a great gift to give yourself, but we can’t promise that it’ll make your heart grow three sizes.

This is not a candy cane smoothie, a pumpkin pie smoothie, or a gingerbread cookie smoothie. We’ll save the desserts for desserts and focus on getting more nutrition during the holidays with this green smoothie. After all, something has to try to balance out holiday cookie platters and carb-centric buffets. If you want to make the smoothie a little more festive, decorate the top of the glass with fresh raspberries. That may entice the children to drink this lovely green creation!

Unlike other green smoothies, we feel that this recipe is very balanced. You don’t have a combination of arugula, kale, celery, apples, and carrots; rather, this contains spinach, pineapple, mango, bananas, and homemade almond milk. Spinach makes the smoothie green, but you don’t taste it because the other ingredients have such sweet and tart flavor profile. The homemade almond milk ties everything together and makes it wonderfully creamy and nutritious.

A quick disclaimer: although these cookies do not require baking, they are not raw vegan. That means that you cannot enjoy them if you are cleansing. Sorry, cleansers, but there are many more Full Body Cleanse-Approved desserts to choose from. Just look for the images that have that FBC-Approved tag on them and you can enjoy them.

These vegan no-bake snowball cookies are the perfect holiday treat. They are little balls of chewy goodness, and you can feel much better about eating them than other sugary, glittery holiday cookies. Snowball cookies are usually made with flour, nuts, sugar, and butter. After you bake them, you typically roll them in powdered sugar and then decorate as you please. Some people add a chocolate drizzle, while others prefer to add pecans, chocolate chips, or sprinkles. This recipe does not require any of those ingredients and although they aren’t 100% healthy, they are healthier than the classic version.

There are a few crucial steps to ensure the best no-bake snowball cookies. After you pulse the ingredients together in the food processor, you have to roll them into bite-size balls. Ideally, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to avoid sticking. Place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes to harden before removing them to roll in unsweetened shredded coconut. After rolling them in coconut, place them in the fridge to harden and enjoy when ready. Perfect timing for your upcoming holiday dessert platter!
