vegan and gluten free food
My perfect dessert involves chocolate and peanut butter and is something I can make quickly with items I likely already have in my pantry. These bars are just that. They are made with only four common ingredients. They are also gluten free, vegan, soy free, oil free and made without refined sugar. Oh, and another thing…they taste just like peanut butter cups!
Combining the intense flavors of roasted tomatoes with smoked paprika create a smoky roasted tomato soup that is full of flavor and perfect for any season.
Green Smoothies are a great way to pack some extra power into your morning. Blending greens breaks down their tough cellular wall and makes them really easy to digest. Maca, spirulina and wheatgrass powder add some extra nutrition to this smoothie.
Finally! Vegan Gluten Free coffee cake! As much as I love green smoothies and oatmeal for breakfast, sometimes I just need a treat. A hot cup of coffee or tea with a slice of warm coffee cake on a weekend morning really is one of the best things ever.
This granola checks all the boxes. It is vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, raw, oil free and made without refined sugar. Best of all? It is delicious!
These days, many restaurants offer vegan pancakes and quite a few even offer gluten free pancakes. However, pancakes that are vegan AND gluten free (and soy free and oil free and made without refined sugar)? Those are a little harder to find. Fortunately, these lemon chia seed pancakes are super easy to make at home.
Peanut sauce is so good. You can dip salad rolls or veggies in it or you can combine it with steamed or stir fried veggies and rice or noodles for an easy but amazing meal. This peanut sauce is gluten free, soy free, oil free and free of refined sugar. But, wait…there’s more. With a couple easy alterations, this sauce is suitable for those following an anti-inflammatory or elimination diet. This may not seem like a big deal. However, if you are following these diets you know that finding an easy, delicious sauce to add to your meal rotation is a big deal.
It’s fall but the weather feels more like winter here and I am finally beginning to understand the cold weather pumpkin spice obsession. This granola combines the flavors of pumpkin pie with the classic crunchiness of granola. This recipe reflects my preference for a less sweet granola but feel free to increase the amount of maple syrup if you prefer a little more sweetness. Feel free to add whatever nuts and seeds you have on hand!
These macaroons are a quick and easy dessert that looks impressive and tastes amazing. I made these with maple syrup this time but coconut nectar in the same amount will work well also and makes the dessert totally raw vegan.
