This recipe for these healthy soft pumpkin cookies is delicious and moist! These soft pumpkin cookies are low carb, gluten-free, paleo-friendly, diabetic friendly and vegan!

Stacked Soft Pumpkin Cookies with Chocolate Chips Sprinkled

Working in a busy Diabetes Education Centre, I am always looking for new and exciting ways to get people excited about ‘healthy desserts’. We talk about the effects of carbohydrates on our blood sugar levels, better sources of carbohydrates (low glycemic index), how protein, healthy fats and fibre can help balance blood sugar levels, and how to incorporate all of this into healthy meals and snacks. That’s why I’ve created these totally delicious low-carb healthy soft pumpkin cookies, and they are also vegan, paleo and gluten-free!

Zucchini needs no introduction these long summer days. Gardens are overflowing with this veg and summer squash recipes are filling up my Pinterest feed. I’ve previously shared my Zucchini Noodle Lasagna, my Crustless Vegetable Quiche with Zucchini, and more recently, a far more edgy way to use zucchini in this Berry Cauliflower and Zucchini Smoothie Bowl. Another zucchini recipe to add to the repertoire, this simple recipe for Vegan Zucchini Noodles with Pesto is quick and light and perfect for these hot summer days.

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.

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. Try starting your day with this Low Carb Smoothie Bowl with Cauliflower and Greens – having veggies for breakfast has never been so easy!

Raw Almond Dip | Vegan

By 7 Comments

This delicious and simple Raw Almond Dip Recipe can be used just like hummus! When the almonds are blended, they create a delicious and creamy spread. It is naturally raw, low-carbohydrate, vegan and gluten-free, making a great option when catering to groups of people.

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.  I also try to stand by the goal of 50% of my meals being raw (see my post Is A Raw Diet For You?). Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan of the legume family (see my post 5 Reasons You Should Eat Lentils) but this Raw Almond Dip hits the spot for certain dietary needs, and best of all, it is SO tasty.
