Raw Chocolate Date Bars | Vegan GF

By 1 Comment

I am all about the minimal ingredient recipes. I love that these raw chocolate date bars can be made with as little as 4 ingredients, and they are naturally refined-sugar-free, gluten-free and vegan. A simple healthy dessert recipe that can be made in batches, and frozen for later – when you need that sweet treat.

Raw Date Bars Cut Into Squares On Baking Paper
 
The best thing about making raw desserts is that they are naturally free of refined flour and refined sugar. Most of the time they are sweetened with dates, which are not only a great natural sweetener, they are also packed full of fibre and potassium. Here is my recipe for a Raw Chocolate Date Bars which rivals my other favourite raw chocolate date bar recipe, this favourite Raw Chocolate Brownie with Caramel Icing.

Hemp Milk Nutrition & A Hemp Milk Recipe

By 18 Comments

My favourite milk-alternative, and definitely one of the easiest to make at home! This homemade hemp milk recipe is as simple as adding hemp hearts to water, blending, and then done! I have compiled a few of my top hemp milk nutrition facts, and tips and tricks to make the perfect glass of homemade hemp milk at home.

Granola with Hemp Seed and Hemp Milk On Side

If you haven’t already heard, the new Canadian Food Guide draft is out and it’s down one food group – dairy. With more and more people becoming environmentally conscious, dairy has taken a back seat. There is a growing number of milk alternatives available – rice, almond, buckwheat, quinoa, pea, soy – though each pre-packaged milk alternative comes with its pros and cons. We have seen hemp hearts back on the Canadian market since 1998 and if you haven’t considered hemp milk yet now is the time! This homemade Hemp Milk Recipe is packed full of protein and essential omega-3 fatty acids. Bonus points for simplicity – no straining required.

This post was originally posted on International Raw Food Day – July 11th (in 2013!!)! At the time it seemed raw food cafes and restaurants were popping up everywhere, and the food was delicious. Raw foodies claim that a raw food diet can increase energy levels with the promise of long-lasting health. As a Dietitian, I wanted to dig into this a little deeper. Regardless of the findings, one of my favourite eateries is Bliss Cafe in Victoria and this Raw Nori Recipe is straight from their non-cook book!

Low Carb Smoothie Bowl with Cauliflower and Greens [Vegan]

By 24 Comments

Looking for a recipe for a low-carb smoothie bowl without banana? Look no further. The secret to making a creamy smoothie bowl that is low in sugar is to use frozen cauliflower as the base. The berries add a low glycemic index sweetness that allows for the addition of some sneaky greens.

Purple Smoothie Bowls with spinach and berries and hemp on the side

 

I’ve been really into making banana-free smoothie bowls lately (or any smoothie bowl really, like this Turmeric Golden Milk Smoothie Bowl). The omission of banana is only possible with the inclusion of frozen cauliflower for texture, as well as berries for natural sweetness. When combined with some healthy fats from nut butter, and some greens from zucchini and spinach we have ourselves a nutrient-dense breakfast that won’t send our blood sugar levels soaring.

The ULTIMATE Guide On How To Make Salad Dressing

By 4 Comments

Use this guide to make your own salad dressing at home. Homemade dressings can be just as delicious as they are simple and are a great way to turn an average salad into something special. I’ve also included tips on how to maximize the nutrition in dressings, as well as flavour variations for the best tasting dressing at home.
Close Up of Lentil Salad with Red Onion and Arugula

I love converting salad skeptics, all it really takes is a delicious dressing! Let’s face it, there is nothing exciting about a runny and bland dressing. The trick to a delicious salad dressing is getting the ratio of creamy fats and tart vinegar or citrus just right, and don’t forget the healthy and aromatic additions such as garlic, mustard or ginger. See below for my top tips on how to make the best salad dressing!

Hemp Vegan Pate on White Plate with Seed Crackers 
Hemp hearts are a superstar. They offer a wide nutrient profile including omega-3 fatty acids, healthy omega-6 fatty acids, magnesium and zinc. Generally, my focus is on breakfast as hemp is an easy way to bump up the protein at these carb-heavy meals. I am sharing this hemp pate recipe so hemp doesn’t get confined to only breakfast. Serve it with some seed crackers or cut up cucumber for a tasty afternoon treat or as a light lunch.

Two Ingredient Raw Chocolate Recipe [Vegan]

By 6 Comments

Making 100% raw chocolate at home is as easy as adding the ingredients to a food processor. This Two-Ingredient Raw Chocolate Recipe is as authentic as it gets and packed full of flavanols for a healthy antioxidant load.

Heart Raw Chocolate On White Plate with Red Ribbon

The use of chocolate medicinally dates back at least 3,000 years. The health benefits have been linked to epicatechin, a flavanol found in the cacao bean (1), and current-day research supports its use for various health conditions. If you’re a chocolate lover like me you likely appreciate the full complexity of flavour that really good quality chocolate provides. In my experience, making chocolate from 100% raw cacao beans is the only way to replicate this flavour intensity at home.

Raw Almond Dip in White Bowl with Carrots and Almonds On Side

I’ve been wanting to share this recipe for this chickpea-free Raw Almond Dip for awhile now. In my practice, there are many reasons why clients might need to avoid chickpeas. The most common reason is due to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) which can cause bloating, gas or pain. Some people are simply looking for low-carbohydrate alternatives or dislike chickpeas. This Raw Almond Dip hits the spot for certain dietary needs, and best of all, it is SO tasty.

Keto Seed Crackers on Brown Ceramic Plate with Rosemary On Side

My favourite way to eat is when sharing food with friends. I try to make efforts to not contributing anything containing refined grains or sugars, as we often get enough of these in our diet unintentionally. I wanted to share this gluten-free cracker recipe that I love serving with any dip or spread (like this Raw Almond Dip). They are surprisingly simple to make and no one will even miss those heavily processed grocery store crackers.

Raw Chocolate Brownies with Caramel Icing [Vegan, GF]

By 4 Comments

A decident raw brownie recipe, only one bowl required and six ingredients required! Treat yourself!

Raw Chocolate Brownie Recipe with a Caramel Icing - Vegan, GF

This raw chocolate brownie recipe is one of the simplest dessert recipes in my repertoire, using only 5 ingredients and one bowl (or food processor). The combination of sweet dates and creamy nuts give a texture similar to traditional brownies, and most wouldn’t even be able to tell that it is completely raw! With only whole-food ingredients, the use of cacao powder bumps up the antioxidant properties which have been associated with many health benefits (see below). Aside from the simplicity of the recipe and the healthy ingredients, what really sets these Raw Chocolate Brownies apart from others is the optional, but highly recommended completely raw caramel icing.

Most people would benefit from eating more foods that stabilize blood sugar levels. Not only is this important for people with diabetes, but having large fluctuations in blood sugars can contribute to changes in mood, fatigue and productivity in non-diabetics. Nutritionally, one message always stays the same – for a more stable blood sugar level, combine your carbohydrates, or sugar, with a protein source. These peanut butter hemp high protein balls are simple to make, containing only five ingredients! With 6 grams of protein per energy ball, they are the perfect snack portion for busy people who want a healthy snack on the go.
