Chocolate Almond Butter Mousse Pie

Calling all nut butter lovers!  This Chocolate Almond Butter Mousse Pie is a must try! It starts with a date-sweetened almond pecan crust.  Then it’s filled with a luxurious almond butter chocolate mousse.  This pie may have a few steps to make it, but it’s completely no-bake and very simple despite the long instruction list.  It’s worth every minute.

This pie kind of reminded me of my chocolate mousse pie.  It’s also similar to my chocolate pumpkin mousse pie.  You really can’t go wrong when you are talking about any chocolate mousse!

This rich and creamy pie is no-bake, vegan, gluten free AND paleo approved!  So it’s basically for everyone and needs to be a staple at your holiday dessert party.  Trust me! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

If you need a nut-free version, you can make the crust out of sunflower and pumpkin seeds and then use sunflower butter in the filling.  Another great idea would be to sprinkle some coarse ground sea salt on top.  Yum!  I will be trying that next time for sure!

Garlic Lime Noodle Soup (Vegan, Gluten Free)

Hey, everyone!  Marcus guest posting here.  As most of you know, I do make several of the savory recipes you see here on the blog.  I loved creating this Garlic Lime Noodle Soup. I’ve been wanting to make a garlic lime dish for some time and I finally got my chance.

The ingredients are simple, it only takes about 30 minutes to make, and it packs quite a flavorful punch.  Some of my other savory recipes are my Black Rice Stuffed Peppers and my Sweet Potato Chili.

If you don’t want it to be spicy, simply add some diced green bell peppers in place of the chili peppers I recommend. Also, you can add some ginger and soy sauce for an Asian twist. It is such a fun recipe, I’m excited to see how people build upon it. What would you do?

The thing that makes this recipe high protein is the REBBL Dark Chocolate Protein coconut milk elixir.  The protein component comes from all natural ingredients like peas, sunflower seeds and pumpkin.  I LOVE that. Most protein drinks on the market have many undesirable ingredients + they use soy as the protein source.  REBBL drinks are soy free, dairy free, vegan and gluten free!
