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!

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!

Fudgy, no-bake, raw vegan brownies are unmatched in flavor, ingredients, and deliciousness. Imagine eating a dessert without added sugars, dairy, or gluten. It just doesn’t happen that often! Although not entirely guilt-free, these raw vegan brownies take minutes to blend in the food processor. Simply spread them in a pan, place in the freezer to harden, and remove to enjoy chocolatey, brownie goodness with no refined sugar.

It’s hard to put out a pan full of brownies and not turn some heads. Most people have to resist eating the entire tray at first glance. There is a delicate dance in place, a knowing that eating a couple is fine, eating the entire tray is problematic. The great thing about these raw brownies is that they they contain healthy fats, fiber, protein, and other nutrients that promote satiety. Because they are richer in calories, you do not want to eat a ton. For example, this recipe yields an 8″x8″ pan, which you cut into 16 pieces. Each brownie has about 150 calories, due to the pecans, almonds, dates, and sesame seeds. Just keep that in mind when you reach for a square.

In order to make brownies, you need chocolate, but not the type you are thinking of. There is not processed chocolate powder mix in this recipe! This recipe calls for 100% raw cacao powder, which you should not confuse with cocoa powder. Cacao powder has powerful nutritional benefits and no added sugars, which cocoa powder tends to contain. That is a general rule of thumb with raw vegan recipes that call for chocolate, though. Always opt for raw cacao powder!

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.

Craving banana bread but don’t feel like baking or consuming more than a cup of sugar? These sweet little energy bites are exactly what you need. You can make them with only six ingredients in just 10 minutes. Not only are they vegan and gluten-free, but they are also great snacks for kids and adults alike. Keep them in the fridge and enjoy when ready, or make a big batch and store them in the freezer, taking them out whenever you want a snack.

Although this recipe calls for walnuts or pecans, almonds work too. Feel free to mix and match the nuts you enjoy for this recipe, so long as they total one cup. For the oats, we chose rolled oats, but you can use gluten-free oats if you don’t eat gluten. And to keep it vegan, the chocolate chips have to be dairy-free. If you cannot find dairy-free chocolate chips, you can use chopped dark chocolate, but the chocolate chips are recommended.

When it comes time to make the banana bread bites, start by adding the nuts to the food processor. Pulse until you achieve a crumbly consistency. Then you can add rolled oats, dates, banana, cinnamon, and vanilla extract and blend until grainy and broken down. At that point, add the chocolate chips and pulse until you get a sticky, dough-like consistency, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Form the mixture into little bite-size balls with your hands and refrigerate them to harden. You can place them in the freezer to accelerate that process, which helps you enjoy them quicker!

It may or may not be up for debate, but pumpkin seems to be the official ingredient of the holidays. There are endless pumpkin creations, from muffins and pies to coffee drinks and soups. People tend to use fresh pumpkin in savory recipes, although you can make sweeter recipes and pumpkin puree from raw pumpkin. Pumpkin puree, which you can easily buy in a can, is what we will be using for this no-bake cheesecake.

There is a difference between pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin puree is 100% pumpkin and does not contain any sugars, artificial flavors, dyes, unhealthy fats, or processed ingredients. Pumpkin pie filling, on the other hand, is very unhealthy and loaded with sugar. That means that you need to pay attention to what can you purchase when you go to the grocery store. Get the 100% pumpkin puree in a can!

This recipe is the perfect dessert for the holidays, being super rich, satisfying, and delicious. The best part is that even though this dessert is not overly sweet, it contends with classic pumpkin pie recipes. The nuttiness of the crust complements the sweetness of the pumpkin filling, which has a luxurious texture from the fatty coconut milk. Now, eating a lot of this dessert is very easy to do, but it is calorically dense, so just be careful with your servings.

Energy bites are taking the world by storm, and they’re especially beneficial if you’re cleansing. These balls of raw vegan deliciousness are truly some of the best on-the-go snacks you can have during a cleanse. All you need is one or two to keep you fueled and energized between your meals. We just have one warning, and it’s to not overdo it with these snacks. Sure, they are nutritious, filling, and rich in heart-healthy fats, but eating too many can dramatically increase your caloric intake for the day. We always encourage people to eat until they are full during a cleanse, but gorging on nut-based snacks is not beneficial, especially if weight loss is your goal.

These mint brownie balls only contain five simple ingredients. Not a single ingredient contains added sugars or flavors. We’re working with the natural stuff! The inherent sweetness of the dates balances the rich intensity of the raw cacao powder. And although you only use a little, the fresh mint truly rounds out the snack. It’s like eating the perfect mint chocolate dessert, only it’s incredible healthy. Bust out the food processor and get ready to blend! Hopefully, you don’t eat them as quickly as you make them. Enjoy!

These are very close to being cleanse approved, but the rolled oats and shredded coconut categorize them as simply vegan. These No Bake Pistachio cookie sandwiches pack a lot of flavor in each bite, and you may only need to eat one to satisfy your sweet tooth. We do urge your to sandwich your dough between two sheets of plastic wrap so that the dough doesn’t stick to your rolling pin or cutting board.

Can we just take a few seconds to appreciate key limes? Okay, thank you for that. They are so adorable, tart, and incredibly alkaline. The flavor of key limes is wonderfully tart, so make sure that you don’t get any juice in your eyes.

The beauty of buying raw pistachios is that they come shelled. It’s probably the best thing about eating raw pistachios, other than the taste of course.

These bites have the perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors, so we know you’ll love them. Make sure that you save a half-cup of pistachios, in which you’ll roll the energy bites.
