Is it just me or do people seem to neglect fresh fruit in the winter? But why??? Citrus fruits are awesome. A little sweet, slightly tangy, and full of immune-boosting vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Leafy greens and bananas are also readily available in the middle of winter when most of us are feeling unmotivated and less energetic. This simple drink is the perfect vehicle to wake up your brain and give you body a dose […]

Here’s a little taste of summer for you. And my coconut obsession is still in full-swing, so this tart includes young coconut meat! YUM! This is the second raw key lime dessert recipe that I have created. They are both equally delicious, but I am partial to this one because it contains no agave or added sugar.

I am surprising myself by posting an ice cream in January considering I am ALWAYS cold. But I’m going through a coconut phase right now, and after creating and devouring this ice cream, there was no way I was waiting for warm weather to post it.

If you try the vanilla coating please find a high-quality raw protein powder with a pleasant vanilla flavor that doesn’t leave a strong aftertaste. If you are in a rush, feel free to eat these without a coating. They are addictive either way, and will surely satisfy your sugar craving Raw […]

Merry Christmas, Everyone! Today I’m sharing a recipe for some raw truffles that I had a lot of fun with. These are fussier than the other recipes I post, but it’s the holidays, so what the hell! This season should really involve slowing down to enjoy the simple things, creating more self-love, and helping others. Sadly, every year it seems more people become caught up in the stress and hustle of it all, which completely […]
