Mini Apple Pies

September 28, 2015 Melissa King 16 Comments

OMG you guys! You are in for a treat. These Mini Apple Pies are epic and perfect for Fall. They best part is they are completely free of refined sugars, grains and flours! The base I used is the same one in my Lemon Coconut Cookie Cups. It worked perfectly. I love that these are perfectly bite sized for portion control.

These Mini Apple Pies are vegan, gluten free and paleo. They are also so delicious. Apple desserts are my favorite, so I will be making these again soon. If you like apple recipes as well, you may want to try my crock pot applesauce or my flourless apple muffins.

Kale Apple Salad (Whole Foods Copycat)

September 24, 2015August 26, 2018 Melissa King 31 Comments

My kids love to get lunch at Whole Foods. Every time I go there, I always try something new. I tried the kale salad last time and loved it. It was slightly too sweet for me, so I immediately got the idea to make my own homemade Kale Apple Salad.

I think my version came out really good. I hope you do too. If you love kale, you may also like my white bean kale soup or my balsamic kale chickpea salad.

I used to have a really hard time eating raw kale. That is until I found out how to massage kale. It makes the kale so soft in texture and much easier to eat. It’s seriously life changing!!

This healthy salad is vegan and gluten free!

I am a lover of all things pumpkin. How about you? Especially when we are talking about healthy pumpkin recipes. These Iced Pumpkin Cookies are made healthier. You would never guess by the taste. These remind of those sinful soft batch cookies from the grocery store. You know the kind I am talking about, right? Back in the day, I could inhale a lot of those!! This is my healthier, pumpkin version of those cookies. I hope you enjoy them as well.

These cookies are vegan, gluten free and even paleo approved! All you need is a few simple ingredients.

My husband is a huge fan of carrot cake. I have already made some carrot cake larabars and also a carrot cake baked oatmeal, but I decided to try some Frosted Carrot Cake Bars. I don’t even like carrot cake, but I thought these came out really good! They are so easy to make too. No cooking required!

These frosted carrot cake bars are vegan, gluten free and paleo. They only take a few minutes to whip up.

Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake

September is finally here and I am so excited for all things pumpkin. I am kicking pumpkin season off with this amazing Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake. This healthier cheesecake is vegan, gluten free and grain free. You can make it super easily too. No cooking required!

This pumpkin chocolate cheesecake is super rich. It starts with a chocolate/almond crust, then a creamy cheesecake layer, and then it’s topped with more chocolate! This one is a must try. If you serve it at a party, no one will ever know it was made healthier with no refined sugar. Trust me, it’s that good. 🙂

Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake (Paleo)

Vegan Blueberry Cheesecake. Just because you are vegan, does not mean you need to miss out on cheesecake. Cashews serve as a wonderful replacement for cheese in this Vegan and Gluten Free Blueberry Cheesecake.

I made a 6 inch round cheesecake, but you can also do mini cheesecake bites if you prefer. This healthy dessert makes the perfect use of those blueberries.

If you are not a fan of blueberries, you can use another berry if you like. Or even a combination of berries.

This vegan blueberry cheesecake is not only vegan, but also gluten free and grain free. There is no cooking required, so it makes a great dessert for this hot weather.
