Instead of buying the premade superfood chocolate bars at your local health food store, try making your own! This way, you can probably save in the long run, and you'll be able to make the chocolate with any add ons you want. What's also great is that you can half this recipe when you make it, and make up different combinations to see which you like best. This is a great present as well!
For this recipe, I just used a Trader Joes's 72% Cacao Dark Chocolate Bar that I had on hand and was comfortable with (ingredients wise), but feel free to use any chocolate you want, you can even use chocolate chips (so long their its vegan of course). If you use a raw chocolate bar, let me know how it goes so I can try it out. And, if your even fancier, you can even make your own chocolate bar. I haven't done it yet, but I will hopefully be trying it sometime in the future.
Crunchy, chunky AND oil-free? Could this be true?
I needed to find an easy go-to granola recipe that I could start making weekly for my home, as I started making smoothie bowls almost daily that the temperature has shot up here in LA! My combos vary based on what I have in the kitchen, but I got my hands on some frozen pitaya packs, and a frequent recipe lately has been this Cacao Pitaya Protein Smoothie Bowl (below), and you can find that full recipe here.
During the holidays, I absolutely love making treats for my family and friends. When going vegan, my treat ideas transformed! At first I was convinced that I had to stop this small tradition all together since I assumed that vegan sweets were, well, wack, but once I lived the lifestyle a bit longer and was exposed to the endless possibilities of both delicious AND healthy treats, a new vegan holiday tradition emerged.
This is a simple and easy treat for those of you that may not find time in the midst of the busy holiday season to bake cookies and more complicated treats. With this Easy Vegan Holiday Chocolate Bark, feel free to customize the ingredients to your liking or that of the person you are gifting it to, and have fun!
