Who doesn’t love the heavenly combination of hazelnuts and chocolate? They come together to form a harmonious marriage of flavor, resulting in a delicious treat that is perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up or evening dessert, especially if you are cleansing. You don’t even have to bake this energy balls. Simply blitz the ingredients together in a food processor, form the mixture into bite-size balls with your hands, and then freeze for an hour before enjoying. They taste remarkably similar to Ferrero Rocher chocolates, only they are made with simple, all-natural ingredients.

Unlike a lot of energy bites, these ones do not contain oats, peanut butter, or protein powder. These contain a mixture of nuts, dates, raw cacao powder, sea salt, and water. That’s it! Should you want to get fancy or add a tropical flair to these energy balls, feel free to roll them in desiccated coconut once they firm up in the freezer. Dates are soft, sweet, and chewy with a subtle caramel-like flavor. They are the binder in this recipe, mixing with hazelnuts, which offer a buttery, slightly sweet flavor. Some say that hazelnuts have notes of cocoa, which is why they pair beautifully with raw cacao powder.

If you find that the mixture is not coming together in the food processor, add an extra tablespoon of water or extra dates, depending if the mixture is too thick or watery. If you want to enhance these energy balls with more nutrition, feel free to add a tablespoon of chia seeds. Just note that that addition may require a little more water to aid the blending process. We hope you love this recipe, and let us know if you want to see more like this one.

Mango strawberry sorbet is a pleasant, balanced frozen dessert that is a beautiful blend of the tropics. The sorbet is a vibrant color that is as inviting as its refreshing flavors. It is the perfect go-to treat for warmer spring weather. Each spoonful of this velvety sorbet melts gently on your tongue, leaving behind and sweetly tart flavor of strawberry mango goodness.

Should you not want to use mango, or if mangos are not in season in your area, you can swap them out for ripe peaches, nectarines, pineapple, or another fruit that yields a similar tropical flavor. You can also swap out the strawberries with other berries, such as raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries, if you prefer those flavors. Those other berries also go great with mango! Once you have your blend, taste the mixture and adjust the ingredients as needed. You may want to add more lime juice, agave nectar, or even more strawberries or mango. Trust your taste buds!

Once you blend the ingredients together, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. If you pour the mixture into a shallow dish, it will freeze more quickly than if you pour it into a deeper dish. Cover the dish and place it in the freezer for about four to six hours, or overnight. Just leave it in there until it is frozen solid. You can stir the sorbet every couple hours with a fork to break up any ice crystals that form. That will yield the best texture. When ready to serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for five to 10 minutes. That will allow it to soften just enough to be perfectly scoopable.

Get ready for a raw vegan slaw to pull you out of whatever slump your in. This isn’t some dish that just hides in the corner while you carry on with the rest of your meal. This is the main event! You get a forkful of crisp cabbage, tropical mango, herbaceous cilantro, and zesty lime, refreshing your palate with every bite. This mango slaw offers a hint of spice and a sweet tang. It’s truly the dinner hero you didn’t know you needed, but you didn’t hear that from us.

This recipe works for many reasons, the primary of which is that you get a burst of tropical flavor in every single bite. The mix of sweet mango, crisp cabbage, red onion, and carrots is just plain satisfying. Once the prep is complete, you can toss the slaw together in a matter of minutes. You can even dress the slaw and let it marinate for 30 minutes or so prior to serving. That allows the flavors to get to know each other a bit before you enjoy the raw slaw. Don’t worry about the dressing making the ingredients soggy because the ingredients are sturdy enough to hold up well before you plate.

When it comes to the mango, you want to make sure that it is ripe so that you have a sweet element. An unripe mango will be bitter and more difficult to chew. Not only does a ripe mango provide a soft bite and seductive sweetness, but it also pops with vibrant yellow color on the plate. A quick citrus dressing made with avocado oil, fresh lime juice, and some seasonings ties everything together. We hope this slaw makes an appearance at your next weeknight dinner.

Pooping is something everyone does on a daily basis, ideally once or twice per day, but nobody wants to talk about it. We love to talk about it! If you aren’t eliminating on a regular basis, then something is going on, be it poor eating habits, insufficient exercise, stress, or a digestive problem. Whatever the case may be, it can be quite frustrating (and painful) if you cannot poop.

According to available data, constipation affects 18% of adults in the United States. It is a common issue that people of all ages can experience and it has various causes. Lack of fiber, delaying bowel movements, traveling, certain medications, and hormonal changes can all cause constipation. It can also be a symptom of other health conditions and some common symptoms include:

• Fewer than three bowel movements per week
• Hard, dry, or lumpy stools
• Straining during bowel movements
• Bloating or abdominal pain
• Feeling like you still need to eliminate after using the toilet

What you eat can have a big impact on digestive function. Certain foods can also help you improve symptoms of constipation. Foods that are naturally rich in fiber, fluids, and natural laxatives can make stool easier to eliminate. Enjoy the following foods to help stimulate bowel movements. 

Mangos

The mango is a juicy, tropical fruit that is a staple in many smoothie, dessert, and salad recipes. You can also cube it up to use it as a topping for acai bowls or chia pudding recipes. According to several studies, mangos can aid with constipation relief. Mangos are naturally rich in fiber, which adds bulk to stool, allowing it to move more easily through the digestive system. One study found that participants who ate 300 grams of mango (about one to two mangos) per day over four weeks saw an improvement in constipation. 

Kiwi

As a vitamin C superstar, kiwi is an excellent fruit to help boost immune function. It may also be an effective constipation remedy, as it is naturally rich in soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber helps optimize gut microbiome, while insoluble fiber helps maintain regular bowel movements, but you can click here to learn more about the difference between them. Several studies indicate that kiwis work to improve complete spontaneous bowel movements (CSBMs), bowel habits, and transit time. Researchers attribute the constipation relieving abilities to the fiber content in kiwis. Another study found that eating two kiwis per day can reduce abdominal discomfort and improve constipation. 

Figs

These soft, sweet, fruits are not for everyone, but they do help relieve symptoms of constipation. They are less popular than apples and prunes for improving bowel movements, but studies show that fig paste can improve transit time and stool consistency. One study monitored people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who ate four dried figs per day reported a decrease in symptoms of constipation, including hard stools, compared to those who ate a placebo. 

Apples

According to surveys, apples are the most consumed fruit in the United States. They are naturally rich in pectin, a type of soluble fiber that works to improve the transit time of food in the digestive system. Pectin helps to absorb water in the digestive tract, which creates larger, softer stools that are easier to eliminate. Researchers note that supplementing with pectin can increase colon transit time and decrease constipation symptoms. 

Prunes

Potentially one of the most effective constipation remedies, prunes are rich in fiber and sorbitol, making them a natural laxative that can stimulate bowel movements. Studies indicate that prunes significantly improve stool consistency and increase the number of CSBMs when compared to psyllium, another form of soluble fiber that is occasionally used as a laxative. 

Psyllium

To round out the list of foods that help you poop, we have psyllium. Psyllium can come in husk or powder form, and supplement manufacturers use it in laxatives because it increases the bulk of stool. It does this by drawing in water to ease the passage of stool. According to several studies, psyllium can reduce straining, improve stool frequency and consistency, and reduce stomach pain. Although psyllium isn’t as effective as prunes, it is a natural laxative to experiment with if you have a prune allergy. 

Still need a little help encouraging a bowel movement? Consider our Bowel Motion formula, which contains herbs designed to alleviate bloating and gas. It also stimulates peristalsis and helps maintain regular bowel movements.

If you are a busy person, time is precious, especially if you regularly run around the house cleaning up after your kids. That is exactly why we love this simple avocado mango salad, because it is easy to meal prep. If you have it prepped and ready to go, all you have to do is dress the salad when you are ready to eat it. Just take it out of the fridge and you have a healthy meal ready to go. That is far better than not having anything and resorting to the closest fast food place to your house, or some packaged snack or meal with excess sodium, preservatives, and sugar.

To make this a successful salad, make sure you gather the right ingredients. You will need the following for your avocado mango salad to shine:

• Avocados: Naturally, you need avocados for a salad that has avocado in the name. Look for avocados that are ripe, but retain some firmness, as that will provide great texture and flavor.
• Mangos: Choose ripe mangos because they will burst with a tropical sweetness that balances the other strong and acidic ingredients in this salad.
• Cherry Tomatoes: Not only do cherry tomatoes bring a vibrant color to the salad, but they also supply a wonderfully juicy, sweet, and slightly acidic flavor.
• Red Onion: Offer a mildly sweet crunch, red onion is a great ingredient that adds a little zing to your salad. Don’t worry about a potent onion flavor because the other ingredients offer a refreshing balance and sweetness.
• Cilantro: If you are one of those people who thinks that cilantro tastes like soap…better luck next life. We are here for this aromatic and herbal flavor that cilantro brings to the party!
• Jalapeño: Although optional, we encourage you to include it in this avocado mango salad. Remove the seeds to tame the spice, or leave them in to kick things up a notch!

The mighty pineapple is more than a drink garnish or beach snack. It is as nutritious as it is delicious and tropical, delivering a hefty dose of vitamins and minerals in every bite. Pineapple provides lots of vitamin C, vitamin B1, potassium, manganese, and an array of other compounds that may offer protection from disease formation. In fact, pineapple has been used as a remedy for everything from allergies to indigestion.

What Is Pineapple?

Besides the health perks, pineapple is relatively easy to find, inexpensive, and very versatile. Researchers refer to pineapple as the most economically significant plant in the Bromeliaceae plant family. Most of the fruit’s healing powers come from bromelain, a protein-digesting enzyme, specifically a protease enzyme. Most of the bromelain is found in the core, with lesser amounts existing in the more edible fruit. 

For many years, pineapple has had a place in many homeopathic remedies. The reason for this is because its compounds work to break down proteins into smaller amino acids and peptides in the body. In fact, studies have found that pineapple acts as an anti-swelling and anti-inflammatory agent. It is also a great source of bioflavonoids, tannins, and phytochemicals, which work to fight oxidative stress. 

High In Fiber

Studies show that consuming foods that are rich in fiber can help lower your risk of chronic diseases, including colorectal cancer. Fiber also helps you feel full by regulating your blood glucose levels. The high fiber content and nutritional value means that you will feel full without consuming a lot of calories. Does that make pineapple a weight loss food? Not entirely, but it can help promote regular bowel movements and reduce bloating. 

Works To Protect Against Cardiovascular Disease

According to several studies, pure pineapple juice exhibits cardioprotective properties. Researchers attribute this ability to the high vitamin C and potassium content. High potassium intake is associated with lower risk of high blood pressure, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. Potassium also helps to protect against muscle loss, reduce the formation of kidney stones, and preserve bone mineral density. A randomized, single-blind, controlled study in Iraq observed 52 obese adults with type 2 diabetes. They were treated for over eight weeks, with the intervention group receiving 500-milligram bromelain capsules twice daily, in addition to their regular metformin regimen. The controlled group only received metformin. After eight weeks, the bromelain group showed significant reduces in body max index and improvements in insulin resistance. 

Offers Nutrients For Mental Health

A study from 2020 found that consuming fruits and vegetables with a lot of nutrients may be crucial in preventing depressive disorders. Complex carbohydrates and antioxidants found in pineapple may help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Tryptophan, an amino acid, in pineapple has demonstrated an ability to boost your mood and increase feelings of happiness. Consuming enough tryptophan, in addition to the other nutrients in pineapple, may benefit your neurological system by encouraging the production of hormones that boost your mood.

Reduces Inflammation

Pure pineapple juice may help those suffering from arthritis and joint pain. Once again, the enzyme bromelain is the reason! It exhibits strong anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It is also beneficial for treating sports injuries, including sprains. Essentially, bromelain works to block metabolites that cause swelling. It also helps to decrease active swelling by activating a chemical in the blood that breaks down fibrin, which ultimately reduces swelling. One study on patients with sinusitis found that bromelain increased recovery time significantly faster than standard therapy. 

Aids Digestion

Yet again, you can thank bromelain for this! Pineapple works to break down protein into peptides and amino acids. In addition to benefitting overall digestion, pineapple may help ease the symptoms of acid reflux and ulcerative colitis. That suggests that bromelain can modulate inflammatory signaling in the colon tissue, potentially reducing inflammation associated with ulcerative colitis. Bromelain also seems to help prevent autoimmune responses that result from common food allergies. Several studies indicate that eating pineapple may help people who have celiac disease, an allergy to gluten, due to the presence of bromelain. 

Rich In Vitamin C

Although pineapple doesn’t have a lot of calories, it does boast a lot of vitamin C. Not only does vitamin C work to encourage the formation of collagen, but it also supports immune function and minimizes cold and flu symptoms. Several studies suggest that children and adults who consume fruits and vegetables with high vitamin C content may experience protection against infections, both viral and bacterial. Vitamin C is water-soluble that helps maintain the health of the body’s connective tissues. It also acts as an antioxidant, working to fight free radicals and synthesize collagen.

Are you ready to escape to a tropical paradise without leaving your home? If you answered yes to that question, then you are ready for our delightful mango coconut chia pudding. Some might call it summer’s sweetest secret, while others call it a nutritious breakfast that you can take on the go. It is a creamy, vibrant treat that combines juicy mangos and velvety, full-fat coconut milk for a flavor explosion that’s as refreshing as the ocean breeze. Plus, the chia seeds offer valuable omega-3s and fiber, helping to keep you feeling full between meals to avoid unnecessary snacking. The antioxidants in mangos help to boost your immune system as well, making this breakfast or snack the perfect guilt-free indulgence to keep you cool and nourished all summer long!

Not only does this chia pudding delight your taste buds, but it also offers a lot of healthy fats from the coconut milk. These fats work to support skin health and energy levels. Full-fat coconut milk is not sweet, but it is very creamy and offers a subtle nuttiness that complements the natural sweetness of the mango. The mango contains natural sugars, so you can choose to omit the agave if you choose. Some mangos are sweeter than others, so try the chia pudding without the agave first and then add it if it needs a little extra sweetness.

Let’s not forget the visual component of this delicious coconut mango chia pudding. The mango cubes look like little treats within the speckled tapioca-like pudding. Is it Instagram worthy? Well, that’s up to you to decide! Take a picture and tag us when you post it so that we can love it as much as you do. It is truly your summer-ready breakfast that will transport you to a tropical beach.

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.
