Vegan Raspberry Chocolate Cheesecake

Ever since I made my mini vegan cheesecakes, I have been wanting to create more flavors.  Since we are now in Spring, I knew the next vegan cheesecake I would try would be one with berries.  And that is how this vegan raspberry chocolate cheesecake was born!

These Strawberry Creme Truffles need to go on your must make list!  Who is excited that Spring is finally here?  I just love all berries and I am happy that I am starting to see them in the grocery store now.  I picked up a carton of organic strawberries the other day and I came up with these delicious strawberry creme truffles.

Dairy Free Sour Cream Recipe

Y’all this Dairy Free Sour Cream is where it’s at.  Many people are moving away from dairy these days.  Maybe because so many kids these days cannot tolerate it.  My own daughter is allergic to dairy.

It makes her skin break out.  Sure there are dairy free sour cream products on the market, but those are usually soy based.

Since most soy in this country is GMO, I thought I would come up with my own vegan and paleo sour cream recipe.

This is also a vegan sour cream recipe!  It’s super easy to make too!  In addition to this recipe, I also have a dairy free cheese sauce and a dairy free ranch dressing.

5 Minute Maca Energy Bites

Have you tried maca root powder yet?  Maca root is a tuber, kind of like a potato.  It is very well known as a natural energy booster.  It can also help with hormonal issues such as menopause and fertility.  Maca is rich in B vitamins as well.  It can be pricey, but I promise that a little goes a long way, so the bag will last a long time.  Kind of like chia seeds.  You may even be able to buy maca powder out of the bulk bins at Whole Foods.  I love putting maca powder in my Chocolate Almond Butter Overnight Oats because it adds a malty flavor that goes well with the chocolate.   These Maca Energy Bites will not only give you a natural energy boost, but also a pretty good protein and fiber boost as well.  If you enjoy my Maca Energy Bars, you will love these!
