Fall means changing leaves, brisk weather, and lots and lots of pumpkin. Pumpkin is synonymous with fall these days, primarily because of the pumpkin spice latte craze. We are not interested in providing you with recipes that contain over 40 grams of sugar and 500 calories in just one serving. This recipe is a major departure from the classic coffee shop pumpkin spice latte. It involves 100% pure canned pumpkin puree, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, 100% pure unsweetened applesauce, and maple syrup. That’s because we don’t have time for added sweeteners and excess calories!

Do you remember eating fruit leather as a child? You are probably familiar with the chemically-dyed and artificially flavored sugary fruit gummies. To group those processed, sugary items with real fruit leather is quite insulting, primarily because the fruit is almost non-existent. This recipe uses real fruit, which you blend together and then spread evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The parchment paper is key, folks, because that will allow for easy removal from the pan. The last thing you want is for your fruit leather to get stuck to your baking sheet.

As a quick note, fruit leather does take a few hours to bake (roughly three to four hours). We want to prepare you for that cook time, so you don’t start making this recipe at 8 p.m. What you can do is bake it around 5 p.m.and then allow it to cool overnight before removing it from the parchment paper. Once it cools, you can slice the “leather” into strips and roll each strip up. You can also tear it into pieces, cube it, or enjoy it however you please.

This is a wonderful, vibrant, and flavorful way to enjoy raw zucchini noodles. It combines the creaminess of avocado pesto with the textural crunch of zucchinie noodles. Is it a meal? Yes, but it is also as nourishing as it is delicious. Spice up your dinner routine and get away from salads by making this incredibly easy raw vegan entree. As you’ll see when you make it, the ingredients and steps are quite simple. You don’t need to overcomplicate recipes; rather, you just need quality ingredients.

The raw vegan world celebrates zucchini noodles and the majesty of the spiralizer. They are quite versatile and give you the feeling of indulging in spaghetti, only you don’t feel that common feeling of bloating and digestive discomfort that can result after eating a giant bowl of pasta. A bowl of zoodles covered in a creamy pesto is also a great introductory meal into the raw vegan world. The fresh basil and garlicky undertones come together beautiful in the beautiful pesto. Now, the pesto calls for raw walnuts, but if you enjoy the classic flavor of pine nuts in pesto, you can obtain raw pine nuts. Just keep in mind that pine nuts can be quite expensive, while raw walnuts are a much more affordable option.

The vibrant green pesto is a glorious celebration of fresh ingredients. Make sure to add nutritional yeast to achieve that signature cheesy flavor you know and expect from pesto. Fancy a bit of spice to your pesto? Feel free to add red pepper flakes! Love this recipe? Let us know in the comments or tag us on social media when you make the recipe.

You can count on Labor Day being one thing: hot. If you live on the west coast of the U.S., you know that the heat is real, and spending time outside is difficult. Naturally, many people want to escape the congested city life and embrace nature before fall starts. People seek higher elevation in places like Big Bear, Mammoth, Sequoia National Forest, Lake Tahoe, and more to relish in cooler temperatures. 

When you escape the city, you don’t have to abandon healthy eating habits as well. Your diet isn’t the hot weather that you are trying to escape! This is especially true if you are still cleansing. There are plenty of recipes in our cleanse-approved recipe section (click here) that are wonderfully refreshing and tasty. You can make snacks, dips, spreads, entrees, desserts, drinks, and more, and all of them are raw vegan! 

Since the primary dishes during Labor Day celebrations tend to be appetizers, beverages, and snacks, we thought we’d focus on those for you. The great thing about the following recipes is that you don’t have to be cleansing in order to enjoy them. Surprise the taste buds of people at your gathering with a few raw vegan dishes. They might find them so delicious that they ask you where you got the recipes and what your journey is. There’s only one way to find out!

If you let summer end without making these creamy peach pops, then you didn’t fully live this summer. Peach popsicles are a great summer dessert for the entire family to enjoy. They utilize fresh peaches, which have a lovely natural sweetness and subtle tartness. Just make sure the peaches are not overripe, or else you may have some questionably flavored peach pops. Think of these like healthier versions of creamsicles, in that they are free of dyes, added sugars, and preservatives.

The homemade almond milk is the creamy element, so make sure that you have that prepped and ready to go before you start blending the peaches. You’ll also need to acquire popsicle molds if you don’t already own them. You may not know which molds to get, but we encourage you to buy the silicone molds. Some of these molds already have the included tops so that you do not have to purchase popsicle sticks. Plus, these molds do not crack when you try to remove the peach pops from them. Just run them under a little warm water and they’ll pop right out!

If you want to get a little fancy, feel free to add some fresh peach slices to the popsicle molds. That will add another level of flavor and texture to these already delicious peach pops. If you like this recipe and want to see more like it, make sure to leave a comment or shout out the recipe on social media. We love to see when people make the recipes we post!

Is there a single food that’s a cool as a cucumber? Is summer even summer if you don’t incorporate refreshing, hydrating cucumbers into your diet? You can make a citrusy salsa, cold soup, cucumber noodle salad, or even an electrolyte-rich detox water. The cucumber is an essential summer ingredient that not only tastes crisp, but also has numerous health benefits. 

Health Benefits Of Cucumbers

The cucumber offers a refreshing, crisp taste and high water content. They help relieve dehydration by supplying the body with important electrolytes and phytonutrients. According to dietitians, it’s possible to satisfy 20-30% of the necessary fluid intake through diet alone. Foods like cucumbers and watermelons are greatly beneficial in this effort. 

Cucumbers also offer phytonutrient compounds, lignans and cucurbitacins, which exhibit anti-cancer properties. According to recent studies, cucurbitacins may help block signaling pathways that are necessary for cancer cell multiplication and survival. One study found that they can inhibit the growth of pancreatic cancer cells. The lignans in cucumbers may protect against cancer by interacting with bacteria in the digestive tract. The research concluded that bacteria took lignans and converted them into enterodial and enterolactone compounds. These bind to estrogen receptors to reduce the risk of estrogen-related cancers, including endometrial, breast, and ovarian cancers. 

As detailed earlier in this article, cucumbers can help hydrate the body. That’s great news for your skin, but you can also apply cucumbers topically. The reason that spas apply cucumbers to the eyes is because cucumbers work to decrease swelling and inflammation. If you need to decrease under-eye puffiness or remedy a sunburn, cucumbers are an excellent choice!

Cucumber Recipes

Check out the following cucumber recipes and see which ones you like best. They are all 100% cleanse-approved if you happen to be using one of our cleanses. Additionally, they are kind of a big dill. We don’t apologize for the pun.
