June 4, 2017 Melissa King 5 Comments

Healthy Strawberry Banana Ice Cream. If you need a super simple frozen treat to whip up, I got you covered right here.

This healthy nice cream recipe is vegan, gluten free and paleo! All you need is 3 simple ingredients. The chocolate chips are an optional add on.

Another great thing about this ice cream recipe is that you don’t need an ice cream maker to make it! Anyone can make it as long as you have a blender or food processor. Easy peasy.

If you wanted to make this recipe nut free, you can use sunflower butter instead of cashew butter. You may have to add a little milk to get the mixture super creamy.

Cashew Quinoa Granola Bars are the bomb. These may be the most delicious bars I have made in awhile. You definitely need to give these healthy granola bars a try!

Cashew Quinoa Granola Bars

A few notes about these healthy snack bars. They are:

vegan
gluten free
grain free
no bake
chewy
refined sugar free
dairy free
oil free

They freeze well, so feel free to double the batch! I used quinoa flakes in my granola bar recipe, but you can definitely use quick oats as well. I like using quinoa because it is a complete protein and naturally gluten free.

I have a new no-bake cookie for you today. These Chocolate Coconut Quinoa Cookies are delicious. They are vegan and naturally gluten-free. You only need a few simple ingredients and there is no food processor needed!

I think these cookies are healthy enough for breakfast too. The quinoa flakes and nut butter add a nice amount of fat and protein, keeping you full for a while. If you don’t want to use quinoa flakes, you can use quick oats instead.

This recipe is also easy to make nut free by using sunflower butter. I imagine it should work out just fine. These healthy cookies literally took 5 minutes to whip together too!

No Bake Turtle Cookies

You need these No Bake Turtle Cookies in your life ASAP. They have all the elements of the classic turtle candies. Gooey caramel, rich chocolate, and pecans. The best part about this recipe is that there is no baking required!

I know I have said my Flourless Salted Caramel Cookies are my favorites, but these turtle cookies are high on the list too. They are vegan, gluten free and paleo friendly. Plus, you only need a few simple ingredients to make them!

I just had one right before I started this post and they are DELICIOUS! If you don’t have pecans on hand, I believe any other nut should work in their place. The recipe is very versatile.

Soft Baked Iced Gingerbread Cookies

If you love gingerbread cookies, you have to try these Soft-Baked Iced Gingerbread Cookies! They are perfect for holidays and very easy to make. I used Pamela’s grain and gluten-free nut flour blend.

One thing I really love about this nut flour blend is that there are no added ingredients. Typically, gluten free flours often contain xanthan gum or guar gum. Pamela’s has neither. The only ingredients in this flour blend are: almond flour, coconut flour, pecan flour and walnut flour.

Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

I love baking around the holidays. Peanut Butter Cup Cookies are one of my favorite holiday cookie recipes. Before this Whole Food Life, I used to do a lot of traditional baking. However since that time, I have tried to modify those traditional recipes to make them a bit healthier. I hope you enjoy my version.

This recipe is not only easy. It’s vegan, gluten free and grain free! I used Justin’s mini peanut butter cups to make mine, but you can also make this recipe with my Clean Eating Peanut Butter Cups recipe if you prefer.
