Pumpkin Chai Smoothie

I know it’s kinda early for pumpkin, but to be honest, we eat it all year long. The minute I tried this REBBL Ashwagandha Chai Coconut Milk Elixir, I knew it would be delicious with pumpkin. I was right. The warm spices from the Chai, pair perfectly with the pumpkin!

I had the pleasure of trying all the vegan flavors and they are delicious. Perfect for take on the go, just like you would a coffee drink, but without the caffeine. I really love the Maca Cold-Brew as an alternative to coffee drinks. The maca root gives you sustained, non-jittery energy, and the taste is great too!

REBBL stands for Root, Extracts, Berries, Bark and Leaves. REBBL offers many different coconut milk elixirs: Matcha Latte, Turmeric Golden Milk, Maca Cold Brew, Maca Mocha, Reishi Chocolate and Ashwagandha Chai. They also offer 2 protein drinks: Dark Chocolate and Vanilla Spice.

Watermelon Lime Sorbet

We bought this huge watermelon the other day. While the flavor was very sweet, the texture was a bit weird, so I decided to make this Watermelon Lime Sorbet with it. What an awesome decision that was! It came out SO GOOD!! There is also ZERO added sugar. If you love sorbet, you may also like my Strawberry Rhubarb Sorbet.

This healthy sorbet recipe is vegan, gluten free and paleo. You only need 3 simple ingredients! I used my ice cream maker, but if you don’t have one, you can always make popsicles instead. I like these molds.

Copycat Chocolate Macaroon Larabar Bites. Have you seen the new Larabar Bites? I made you some Copycat Chocolate Macaroon Larabars!

They are meant to be dessert truffles instead of snacks like the original Larabars. These Copycat Chocolate Larabar bites are so much cheaper to make yourself.

The bites are almost like a rich chocolatey truffle with hints of coconut. They only take a few minutes to make and only 6 simple ingredients!!

These bites of yum are vegan, gluten free and paleo. They also freeze well too if you want to keep a stash on hand for chocolate cravings.

Summer is here and I make a lot of ice cream to beat the heat. Here are some of my favorite real food, healthy ice cream recipes! I love my ice cream maker. Well worth the money if you eat lots of ice cream in the summer. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, many of these recipes can also be made into popsicles. I like these popsicle molds.

Apple Vinaigrette Dressing (Oil Free)

July 27, 2016May 24, 2017 Melissa King 11 Comments

I made you a new healthy dressing recipe. This time it’s Apple Vinaigrette Dressing. I just love salads. I could eat them everyday. I am always trying to switch up my salad dressings to keep things fresh and new.

When we went to Disney in October, we had an amazing apple vinaigrette dressing at Boma in Animal Kingdom Lodge. If you haven’t been there, definitely put it on your list! Very vegan friendly.

That recipe inspired me to create this healthy vinaigrette dressing. Unlike most salad dressing recipes, mine contains no oil. You can also whip it up in minutes!

You only need a small amount of ingredients to make it too. Vegan, gluten free and paleo approved. It’s also oil free!

This is a great way to use up apples in the fridge.

Do you like piña coladas? I recently tasted my very first piña colada while on vacation. Omg YUM! I wanted to recreate the unforgettable flavor, but in a healthier way. This cake is made with fresh pineapple, coconut cream and very little added sugar! PLUS it has a secret ingredient that adds even more nutrients.

You would never guess that there’s an ENTIRE zucchini hidden inside of it. Haha! Yes, vegetables in your dessert, because who doesn’t need more green veggies in their life? I promise you can’t taste vegetables. The zucchini actually makes it more creamy.
