Protein Muffins are a delicious way to sneak more protein into your life, without relying on protein shakes. They have a fluffy texture and flavor you’ll love! These banana protein muffins are inspired by my Healthy Banana Muffins . I replaced a portion of the flour called for with unsweetened protein powder. As a result, these muffins have double the protein when compared to a traditional muffin and make an easy breakfast or after-school snack....
This Sweet Potato Lasagna makes a comforting meal, made entirely out of whole foods. Instead of using traditional pasta, these lasagna “noodles” are made out of thinly sliced sweet potatoes for a naturally gluten-free dish. I love using sweet potatoes as an alternative to pasta, as they still have a starchy, comforting texture, and they’re loaded with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Sweet potatoes are a good source of vitamin C , which is not only linked to boosting the immune system, but it may also help your body produce collagen, which helps maintain the skin’s elasticity....
This Vegan Mint Chip Ice Cream is naturally dairy-free and made with coconut milk. The mint flavoring covers the coconut taste completely, so it feels like you’re eating the real thing!

Coconut Milk (full-fat canned coconut milk) Granulated sugar (I use coconut sugar) Peppermint flavoring When making vegan desserts, be sure to use organic sugar if you’re concerned about the sugar cane processing methods....
This isn’t the type of recipe I’d normally post. By most accounts, these muffins are a total flop. They don’t rise like a normal muffin, they are denser than a normal muffin, and they look more like a hockey puck rather than anything you’d want to serve for breakfast. The thing is, despite their unusual appearance, we can’t seem to get enough of them in our house. They are unbelievably moist, and taste like carrot cake, while remaining grain-free, properly combined , and naturally sweetened....
If you have an abundance of summer zucchini to use up, try loading them up with your favorite pizza toppings! Zucchini halves are baked to tender perfection, then stuffed with pizza flavor. This concept is perfect if you’re following a low-carb or food combining diet, since zucchini is naturally gluten-free and low in starch.

This coconut milk ice cream is magical. Even though I’m not the biggest fan of coconut-flavored desserts, this one has such a rich chocolate flavor that it’s hard to resist.

I’ve tweaked this recipe over the years to make it as easy and delicious as possible. You’ll be happy that you own an ice cream maker, even if you only dust it off a couple of times each year to make this chocolate ice cream....

Coconut flour is a tricky ingredient to work with, so I’m shocked by how much I like these brownies. They have a rich, chocolate flavor, and you’d never guess that they’re made with a grain-free flour. I originally published a version of these brownies in my first cookbook, Everyday Detox . That version is sweetened with maple syrup, but I was curious if coconut sugar might make them even more fudgy, like traditional brownies....
These Coconut Flour Cupcakes are light & fluffy, and my kids have declared them to be one of the best cupcakes I’ve ever made. They are perfect for those who need a gluten-free or Paleo cupcake recipe! My Secret Ingredient What makes these cupcakes extra special is that they have a sneaky healthy ingredient inside — zucchini! I’ve been adding zucchini to this recipe for years, because it replaces the oil without affecting the sweet vanilla flavor....
It wasn’t until I first ventured into the world of raw foods, that I learned about the benefits of soaking nuts and seeds. For those of you unfamiliar with the concept, soaking nuts and seeds is thought to remove their enzyme inhibitors and reduce their phytic acid content–> making them easier to digest and their nutrients more easily absorbed. Soaking may also help remove potential irritants, such as mold and pesticides....

Vegan Pho is a comforting noodle soup that you can load up with your favorite toppings. This version is not at all traditional, but it’s an easy way to make it at home! Traditional Pho broth is made from beef bones that simmer for hours. This vegetarian pho recipe skips the beef broth entirely and uses store-bought vegetable stock as a time-saving shortcut. While it’s common to char the yellow onion and ginger in the oven first, this recipe skips the oven entirely....
If there’s one thing I don’t mind experimenting with, it’s brownies. My family has pretty high expectations when it comes to brownies (the Ghirardelli boxed version being their favorite), so this recipe required several rounds of testing to make sure they are rich, fudgy, and totally irresistible. Since I work mostly with natural sweeteners, I’ve come to realize that it’s almost impossible to achieve a shiny, crackly top like traditional brownies have....
I have serious self-control issues when it comes to freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. If left to my own devices, I’d probably eat the whole batch directly out of the oven! Which is why I’ve developed this single-serving recipe, so I can do exactly that. (If you want a full batch, check out my Vegan Buckwheat Cookie recipe here .) These cookies feature a new type of gluten-free flour that I’ve been experimenting with lately: buckwheat flour!...
