Mmmm, I've been going a little pumpkin crazy lately but I'm loving every moment of it. I've been making my fat-free Vegan Pumpkin Pie Soft Serve quite a lot lately, so I decided one morning that I would spice things up and add in a chocolate kick.
This Thick Chocolate Pumpkin Smoothie recipe is sweet and simple idea that I know you all are going to love!
YES, this happened.
The thought of chocolate being paired with kale kind of blew my mind. Initially, I just said why? But the pairing sparked my curiosity...I had to have it. If it involves kale, I'M IN!
If you aren't fond of kale, or if your kiddies who refuse to eat their greens, these are a great way to eat your kale! Sweet, crunchy, and rich deep dark chocolate flavor.
Nutritional Content of Kale:
In honor of the fall season the pumpkin craze that comes with it, along came this Pumpkin Pecan Milk! Creamy and dreamy, sweet, and such a rich flavor. To me, this tastes like a pumpkin spice latte, but BETTER! If you would like to make this fully raw, you can use fresh peeled pumpkin.
Infused nut milks have been the craze in my home lately. I used to only create plain nut milks, then "add flavorings" in the form of a smoothie, but I was inspired by Celena from Raw nut Milk to create herb and spice infused nut milks and flours (*see note below).
The first time I ever tried beet chips was at the Hollywood Farmer's Market here in LA on Sundays. I sampled a ton of different beet chips, sweet and savory, and I fell in love. The chips were definitely overpriced, but at the time I did not have a dehydrator and assumed that that was the only way I could get my hands on these beautys.
Well, I was wrong! This recipe uses the oven and will get you the same delicious and crispy beet chips that I fell in love with. I know that most of you do not have dehydrators, so I created a recipe that we all can make! If you DO want to use a dehydrator, review the note on the recipe just in case :)
This is the Best Raw Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream I have ever tasted.
A bold statement, yes. The truth? ABSOLUTELY.
This is the ice cream that I used as a base for my Raw Vegan Mango, and you can definitely use it as a base for practically any other flavor you wish to create. For this recipe, a sweet and simple vanilla ice cream was perfect to go with the flavors of the cobbler. (Oh, I used the raw oat crumble as well, included in that same post!)
Feast your eyes on this beautiful pre-oven cobbler! Be sure that after you place all of the stone fruit into the batter, pour the remaining juices and sugar over it, that way you get all of the sweet fruity goodness.
