Coconut Crispy Spiurlina Bites
You know those days when you’re craving a little something sweet, a little something crunchy, and a little something filling that will actually be decent for you AND keep you full? Yep, me too.
These crispy spirulina bites are the perfect snack! They are packed with nutrition, but they also feed the need for something sweet and something crunchy. They make a great snack on planes, road trips, or even just a long day of work. What I love most is that I can make them weeks in advance and keep them in the freezer and pull them out as needed.
Crispy Spirulina Bites
Makes 15 bites
Ingredients
1/3 cup coconut butter (can sub for nut butter)
3t spirulina (I use Earthrise)
8 dates, pitted
2T chia seeds
1 cup brown rice crisps
Pinch salt
Directions
Place all ingredients EXCEPT the brown rice crisps into a food processor.
Process on high until a dough forms and it sticks together.
Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in the brown rice crisps.
Once well combined, you may begin to roll the dough into bite size energy balls.
Store in the freezer for 2-3 months or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If storing in the freezer, simply take them out about 10 minutes before consumption.
Enjoy!

Pair this muffin with an oat milk latte and have yourself a good mood kind of day. I triple dog dare you :)
My first try at baking with aquafaba turned out better than anticipated, and who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies?!
For the longest time I didn’t understand people who ate savory breakfasts. I was ALWAYS a sweet breakfast or more fruit based kind of person. This is where crepes come in.
Once upon a time there was a cafe in OKC that served the absolute BEST quinoa chorizo tacos. After they closed down I knew I had to recreate one of my favorite weekend brunch traditions. While my version is not 100% exact to theirs, it is definitely less oil-filled and on the healthier (but still delicious!) side.
Why granola? Because “good” store-bought granola is still LOADED with sugar and it’s also like $12 for a very small bag which I find ridiculous.
When I was living in Amsterdam several years ago and working as a raw food chef, banoffee pie or banoffee parfaits were on the rage. I pretty much love anything with banana, so I was a huge fan!
When the weather shows signs of warming up I pretty much immediately start craving cold foods and more snack-like meals.
When I was growing up mac & cheese was a weekly staple, if not more. Since going plant-based 9ish years ago, I think I’ve finally come to accept that NO vegan version of mac and cheese is truly ever going to taste “the same,” but that doesn’t mean they aren’t equally as delicious!
With warmer days upon us, I have been seriously craving fresh herbs like mint and dill. It sounds kind of strange to put them together in this salad, but it is light, crisp, and refreshing.
I really love pasta, like really. I wish I liked it less to be honest. This pasta salad is definitely one of my favorites because it’s super light and refreshing.
Sometimes, you just need chocolate. And by you, I mean me. I pretty much always have a weakness for chocolate, so if I can find a way to sneak it into my breakfast smoothie I am ALL IN.
I made this recipe back in January after completing my 21-day Community Cleanse Program. It was the perfect “treat” after sticking to the program for 21-days. However, I’m pretty sure you and your families will enjoy this one any time of year!
