These flourless peanut butter muffins are so good.  They are vegan, gluten free, egg free, grain free and dairy free.

You can even keep them paleo by using sunflower butter or almond butter.  I used peanut butter in this recipe because my husband loves it.

I do think these muffins would be fabulous with almond butter though.  One thing I have to point out is that these flourless muffins have a slightly different texture than traditional muffins made with flour.

I think they are totally delicious, though.

Matcha Truffles (Vegan, Gluten Free, Paleo)

Have you tried matcha powder?  Matcha powder is made from green tea leaves.  It contains many health benefits.  Matcha powder is high in antioxidants, can help improve memory and concentration, increase energy, boost metabloism and detoxify the body.

I have been wanting to try matcha, so I was happy to get an opportunity.  I used Kiss Me Organics Matcha Powder.

Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

The warm weather is here and I am cranking out new ice cream recipes.  This cherry chocolate chip ice cream recipe is my latest one.  I just love cherries.  So when my husband brought a bunch home the other day, I knew I wanted to make cherry ice cream.  Of course I had to make mine cherry chocolate chip ice cream, because chocolate always makes everything better!  Am I right?  I love having an ice cream maker.  It is so worth the money when you think about the price of organic, dairy free and gluten free store bought ice cream.  You can make your own ice cream recipes for so much cheaper with just a handful of ingredients.

Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream - My Whole Food Life

This cherry chocolate chip ice cream is dairy free, vegan, gluten free and even paleo friendly. It only takes 4 simple ingredients to make it.  I love 4 ingredient recipes.  I really think you could omit the sweetener all together in this if you happen to have some really sweet cherries.  You will need to pit the cherries, which can be a messy job unless you have a cherry pit remover. Love mine!

Healthy Blueberry Pie (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Healthy Blueberry Pie.  Out of all the desserts out there, pie has always been my favorite.  In fact, my very first blog post was a pie recipe.

Please forgive the awful photos!  Since we are in the middle of berry season, I was thinking about blueberry pie.

Last weekend, we took the girls out to lunch at Spiral Diner.  My husband got the blueberry pie for dessert.  It was good!  I knew I could come home and make a healthier blueberry pie!  My homemade blueberry pie is not only delicious, it’s vegan, gluten free and grain free!

3 Ingredient Coffee Popsicles

I was going to post a savory salad recipe today, but I haven’t been able to get the photos finished.  So I hope you don’t mind I share these 3 ingredient coffee popsicles instead.  I don’t know about you, but I used to love Starbucks Frappuccinos.  I am sure they are laden with nasty ingredients and definitely not dairy free or vegan.  Well these 3 ingredient coffee popsicles are the dairy free and vegan version of the Starbucks Frappuccino.  Can it get better than this?  If you like 3 ingredient recipes you may also like my 3 Ingredient Chocolate Bars.

I was going to make this a coffee ice cream recipe, but I have been having issues with my ice cream maker. We put the paddle in the dishwasher and it warped.  So now I am waiting for a new paddle in the mail.  I promise when that comes in, I will be making more ice cream recipes for you all.  Oh, and it you hate the taste of coconut, you seriously cannot taste coconut in these at all.  All you taste is that wonderful creamy coffee flavor.   So good!
