Spirulina Energy Bites
I’m a big fan of energy bites, spirulina, and dates. So these are basically all of my favorite things in one! If you’re ever looking for easy snacks to make in advance - these are your new friend! Especially if you have just a little bit of a sweet tooth but don’t want so consume any refined sugars. These little guys may be addicting, but they are filling, easy, and nutritious!
Spirulina Energy Bites
Makes 24 Energy Bites
Ingredients
1 cup pitted dates (about 15 dates)
1/2 cup almonds
2T almond butter
3/4 cup oats
2tsp spirulina (I use Earthrise)
1/2tsp vanilla
1/4tsp salt
Directions
Place all ingredients into a food processor and process on high until well combined and a dough mixture has formed. It may take several minutes. Once done, it should be a thick dough that sticks together.
Using your hands, roll dough into small bite-sized energy bites.
Store in the freezer for 2-3 months or in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. I typically store mine in a large freezer-safe ziplock bag in the freezer and take them out as needed.
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!
