vegan and gluten free food
If you haven’t had kale chips yet you are missing out big time. These crunchy little snacks taste like junk food (well, maybe not quite JUNK food…we are talking about kale, after all) and are packed with nutrition. We could all use more greens in our diet and this is a great way to get them.
I am always looking for healthy snacks that are savory as opposed to sweet. These raw broccoli bites are just that! Don’t get me wrong, I like sweet snacks and you’ll find plenty of recipes for those here but I try to minimize my sugar intake so these are a perfect snack for me. I always put them in my pack for camping and backpacking trips.
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.
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 crackers are raw, plant based and gluten free. Because they are made with seeds, they are a great snack for those following a nut-free diet.
I’ve always loved tabbouleh but I had to stop ordering it in restaurants many years ago when I stopped eating wheat. This tabbouleh inspired salad is great alternative to traditional tabbouleh (which is made with bulgar wheat). It is refreshing and lemony and the quinoa gives it a nice texture.
You already know that I love snacks. Kale chips are a favorite. Like these kale chips, this recipe is raw, gluten free, soy free and oil free. These lemon tahini snacks are a great option for you if you are avoiding nuts.
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.
