This vanilla smoothie has a secret ingredient

Vanilla smoothies are a classic for a reason. Cold, creamy, and that sweet and exotic flavor is a real treat. We took our favorite vanilla milkshake and added a few new interesting twists (and not just the color).

Buckeye cookies for a gluten-free treat

Buckeye cookies are traditionally a combination of peanut butter and milk chocolate. While we love this sweet and salty combination, we wanted an alternate to peanut butter, dairy, and traditional sugars during our cleanse. For our version, we’ve chosen cleanse-approved chocolate and replaced peanut butter with almond butter. The result is just delicious!

How to build the perfect salad in 7 simple steps

Now that the weather is warming up, it’s the perfect time to enjoy big leafy green salads for lunch or dinner. The raw veggies are cooling and hydrating on hot days, especially when you’ve been in the sun or working out a lot. Salads can help cleanse, alkalize and reduce inflammation in the body. Creating the perfect salad is all about the variety and balance of ingredients that you choose.

These vegan cheesecake bars are great for sharing

For those sensitive to dairy, a creamy and decadent cheesecake may normally be off-limits. That’s why we’ve created this rich, raw vegan version with a healthy dose of chocolate to amp up the flavor. Using cashews and cacao you will get the same satisfaction while also loading up on micronutrients and healthy fats. The best part is that these vegan cheesecake bars are no-bake, so you won’t even have to turn on your oven!

Blueberry smoothie recipe that tastes like pie

Adding quinoa to this blueberry smoothie recipe is an amazing way to add nutrients and a unique flavor. With the combination of the quinoa and berries, this smoothie ends up tasting like blueberry pie. It’s perfect for getting more choosy family or friends to eat more greens and whole grains too.

How to easily transition to being plant-based

You’ve committed to healthier eating, and you’re ready to get started–that’s great! While transitioning to a plant-based diet from standard American fare may seem daunting at first, it can be a doable, delicious, and exciting process. Keep in mind that everyone is a bit different, and may require various approaches to transitioning their diet.

Post-workout smoothie with moringa

When you first glance at moringa powder you may mistake it for matcha, thanks to its rich green color. While these are two different supplements, moringa is proving to have as many noteworthy benefits for the body. Even healthy choices like exercise can cause inflammation, which may be part of the reason you feel fatigued and sore after a particularly tough workout. That’s why we created this post-workout smoothie.

Powerful maca smoothie for hormone-balance

You already add moringa to your favorite smoothie and finally swapped matcha for coffee, but have you tried maca? Maca, a cruciferous vegetable related to broccoli and cauliflower, is exclusively grown at high altitudes in Peru and has been cultivated and used as medicine for thousands of years. Only in the past decade has maca infiltrated the modern health and wellness scene, where it has become celebrated for its natural ability to help balance hormones and libido in men and women.

Rosemary lamb for your holiday table

For many home-chefs, there may be certain cuts of meat that seem too intimidating to try outside of a restaurant. If lamb is one of those foods you never cook yourself, we have the perfect, fool-proof recipe for you to try at home. The result is a perfectly seasoned, juicy piece of rosemary lamb that the whole family will love.

Sweet potato cake for a sweet new tradition

Hearty root vegetables are a staple for fall and winter. We love them roasted or mashed with savory seasonings, but sweet potatoes are also the perfect nutrient-dense vegetable to add to any sweet dessert. They pair so well with fall spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. This sweet potato cake is delicious enough to enjoy as dessert or the perfect pairing with tea at breakfast.
