Tahini Coconut No-Bake Energy Balls |GF

By 5 Comments

The combination of tahini and honey is one of my all-time favourites. Add a little toasted coconut into the mix and you have yourself a gourmet treat! I love making a big batch of these no-bake energy balls, to have on hand for when I need a healthy snack. They taste great frozen as well!

No-Bake Tahini Balls in Blue Bowl
 
With so many energy ball recipes available on the internet, what makes these Tahini Coconut No-Bake Energy Balls different? Tahini is made from roasted sesame seeds, and that’s exactly what it tastes like – some would describe the flavour as nutty or earthy. When tahini is married with honey, it offers an amazing combination – and this healthy snack is so delicious could be mistaken for a dessert. This no-bake energy ball recipe is comparable to my 100 Calorie Peanut Butter Energy Balls which are one of the most popular recipes on my blog….

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.

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.

Vegan Hemp Pesto in Glass Mason Jar
 
The internet does not need another pesto recipe, but what it does need is a little flair added to the traditional basil pesto. I love using miso in my pesto, not only for that delicious umami flavour but also for the live-active cultures from this underutilized fermented food. Hemp is iconically Canadian, a sustainable source of protein, and a great replacement for pinenuts. Try this recipe for my Ultimate Vegan Pesto Recipe with Hemp on some Zucchini Noodles or on your favourite wrap.

I recommend it to many of my clients as a great plant-based complete protein that offers 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.
