Healthy Tropical Breakfast Bars

February 12, 2017May 21, 2017 Melissa King 8 Comments

My husband is always looking for new things to take to work for breakfast. He needed something new. Lately, he has been taking my banana muffins or pumpkin spice muffins, but this is definitely switching it up a bit.

That’s why I made these Healthy Tropical Breakfast Bars for him. They have all the flavors of a pina colada. Yes, please! The perfect bite of sunshine to get you through these last cold days of winter.

I made mine with a coconut frosting, but you can totally eat them without it as well. I used almond butter in my bars because that is what I had on hand at the time. However, I think cashew butter may be even better. I am definitely trying that next time!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake. My husband Marcus is a sucker for anything with chocolate and peanut butter. So I created this chocolate peanut butter vegan cheesecake with him in mind.

This healthy cheesecake is made with no refined sugar, gluten, grains or dairy! Unlike traditional cheesecake, this recipe is no bake and can be made very quickly!

t starts with an almond date crust, then you have the creamy chocolate and peanut butter layer, and lastly, it’s topped with a decadent peanut butter frosting.

Yum! I could seriously have eaten the frosting by itself! So good!

Vegan Egg Roll in a Bowl

January 29, 2017May 21, 2017 Melissa King 47 Comments

Who doesn’t love an egg roll? I can never find egg roll wrappers that don’t contain egg so I made this Vegan Egg Roll in a Bowl. It tastes exactly like the filling found in those delectable egg rolls, but without the fried wrappers! I know typically egg rolls have added meat, so I added the sliced portoblello mushrooms to provide a meaty texture in place of the meat.

If you want to add some extra protein to this stir fry, you can add toasted peanuts or cashews. Quinoa may be another nice addition.

This healthy dish is vegan, gluten free and paleo. You can whip it up so fast too. From start to finish it’s less than 20 minutes! We filmed a short video for this recipe. You can view it below. For more videos, you can subscribe to my You Tube channel.

There are a few things that make this recipe great. They are vegan, gluten free and paleo approved. The contain ZERO refined sugar, and there is no baking required! Only 5 simple ingredients!

I have such a sweet tooth, so I am always thinking of new ways to enjoy sweets in a better way. Since these contain a good amount of fat, and they are super rich, you don’t need much to satisfy. I made mine in standard sized muffin pans and got 6, but you can do a bite size up if you like too!
