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!

Sometimes, you come across a salad recipe that is both incredibly flavorful and simple to make. Such is the case for this curried carrot salad, which features shredded crunchy carrots and a slightly bitter tahini curry dressing. To balance out the spice and bitterness, we added nutty raw pumpkin seeds and sweet raisins. Should you be a true raisin hater, you can omit the raisins and consider adding sliced grapes. Forego the grapes and raisins altogether if you enjoy a pronounced curry flavor!

The great thing about this salad is that it is a true salad for one. This salad will yield enough for you, and you alone. Make it as a filling lunch or as a side dish for your main course. Even if you dress the entire salad and don’t finish it, carrots are sturdy enough that the salad will still be good to enjoy the following day. It is crunchy, cool, creamy, a little spicy, and incredibly fragrant. The curry brings a unique element to the dressing that you don’t typically find in most dressings or sauces. There’s a warmth to the spice mixture, and yet it is also zesty.

Just so that we’re clear, there is a possibility that you might hate it or love it. The main takeaway is that you were brave enough to try it! Don’t ever stop trying new and exciting or exotic foods because you never know what your palate will enjoy. There are many familiar ingredients in this salad, so you get to mix the old with the new, especially if you aren’t familiar with curry spice. The ginger and lemon juice bring a slightly spice flare as well, but that sweet maple syrup balances everything out. We hope you love experimenting with these new flavors!

In addition to the changing of leaves and crisper weather, fall brings an assortment of nutritional produce items. Apples and Brussels sprouts are two of the standout produce options that you’ll see more of during the fall season. You may even see Brussels sprouts sold on the stalk, which is actually how they grow. You don’t need to be that fancy and buy those; rather, you can but loose Brussels and choose the apple that you love the most.

For this slaw recipe, you want an apple that has a crisp texture and sweet yet tart flavor profile. Choose the apple you love the most, but we recommend the Honeycrisp apple, which is succulent, crispy, and great for slaws. If you want an apple that’s more sweet, opt for a Fuji apple. Go with the Granny Smith if you enjoy a tarter flavor profile. Your apple doesn’t need to be extremely sweet because you can also add dried cranberries, which contain natural sugars, to this salad if you choose. Just remember to purchase dried cranberries that are free of preservatives and added sugars. Craisins, for example, are high in sugar and preservatives, so they are not cleanse-approved.

Although the slaw ingredients have a balance of bitter, sweet, and slightly sour ingredients, the dressing is what ties it all together. It’s a beautiful dressing that has a bright, citrusy flavor profile. If you want to tame the intensity of the lemon, feel free to add some more agave than what is on the ingredient list. Just start with a little extra because a little goes a long way.

Raw carrots are naturally sweet and pair well with both sweet and spicy ingredients. Sometimes, you need to spice them up with an array of aromatic seasonings and herbs. It’s also a great idea to add other fruits, nuts, or vegetables that also pair well with a variety of spices. In the case of the this salad, you’ll use apples, raisins, and raw pistachios for their signature nutty flavor. Granted, if you have a nut allergy then you can omit the pistachios from this salad.

A traditional carrot salad tends to be sweet, creamy, fatty, and unhealthy. The dressing often contains too much mayonnaise, sugar, and salt. There are different variations of that salad and some include ingredients like canned pineapple, candied pecans, and sour cream. If you add all of those processed, preservative-laden ingredients to a salad, they cancel out the health benefits of the fruits and vegetables. In the case of this carrot salad, though, you use 100% natural, raw vegan ingredients that aren’t fattening or unhealthy.

There are two ways to prepare this salad. The first way is by chopped up the carrots and apple and adding them to a bowl with the rest of the ingredients. You give those ingredients a gentle toss and then serve. The other method is to add all of the ingredients to a food processor and process a few times to blend and combine everything. The choice is really up to you, but don’t over-process the ingredients because you don’t to eat a pile of mush. It should have a chopped texture!

This recipe is such a great combo of mixed greens, onion, and peaches. The slight bitterness of the kale, along with the sharpness of the onion, is complemented by the sweetness of the peaches and raisins. The added crunch of the pecans gives this recipe an added layer of flavor.

You need fuel to exercise, but getting your fuel from processed, sugar-laden “healthy” bars is not beneficial for your body. Eating those bars or snacks only means that you have to work harder to burn them off, especially because it is difficult for your body to process those foods. You are better off making your own energy-boosting snacks, like the one in this article.

When you find out how simple it is to make this snack, you are going to regret not knowing about it sooner. It is beneficial because you will be getting complete protein from plant-based sources. The body can absorb plant-based protein more easily than animal protein, and you will notice that in your workouts.

Before we share the recipe with you, here is a little bit about the star ingredients:

Steel Cut Oats

Regular, unflavored steel cut oats are a power food, being a great source for plant-based protein and fiber. Additionally, steel cut oats contain compounds that help reduce blood pressure. They have a low glycemic index, which makes this a great option for diabetics. They can be made the night before to cut back on time and you can add your own 100% real fruit for an added nutritional boost.

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are a complete protein. When we say “complete,” we mean that the protein source contains the 9 essential amino acids that the body can’t make on its own. When compared to other seeds and grains, chia seeds seem to have the highest amount of protein, between 19 to 23 percent protein by weight. One really cool fact about chia seeds is that they can absorb more than nine times their volume in water or other liquid. This unique quality can help your body retain fluids and electrolytes, which can help you avoid dehydration.

Raisins

We don’t talk about raisins that much, but they actually have some surprising health benefits. Make sure you buy raisins that are free of added sugars, preservatives, and sulfur dioxide. They are rich in iron, which is essential for metabolism and a healthy immune system. Raisins also have potassium, which helps to lower blood pressure by flushing excess sodium from the body.

What You’ll Need For The Snack

• ½ cup organic, creamy peanut butter
• ½ cup raw honey
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• 3 cups steel cut oats
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ cup raisins, unsulfured
• 3 tablespoons chia seeds

Instructions

• In a large pan over very low heat, melt the peanut butter and honey together. When they are melted, remove from the heat, add the remaining ingredients, and mix until everything is combined.
• Scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture and form it into a little ball. Repeat this process until you are finished rolling the mixture. You might find it easier to mold these energy balls if you coat your hands in a little coconut oil.
• Store these in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag for up to a week.
