Chocolate Chip Tahini Clusters
Chocolate Chip Tahini Clusters on deck tonight! Because I’m ALWAYS craving something sweet after dinner. For me, fruit or a spoonful of honey won’t cut it, I always want chocolate 😋🍫 These are the perfect about of sweet and made with real food and only 4 ingredients!
I love using tahini, but it can be super pricey- I’ve seen it as high as $10/jar. I found the organic tahini that I used for only $4 at Trader Joes.
Green Banana Pineapple Smoothie
This is by far my favorite summer smoothie! It was actually the first smoothie combo that I have ever made. It’s a fun green color and tastes super refreshing. The green color comes both from spinach and wheatgrass. I love wheatgrass! It is the first superfood that I ever tried. It has a grassy taste that isn’t too strong so its an easy add to any smoothie. Wheatgrass is high in nutrients and antioxidants and can help reduce inflammation. However, wheatgrass is the leaves of the wheat plant and can contain gluten depending on how it is harvested. It may be best to avoid wheatgrass if you are gluten-free.
Note: This recipe is labeled as vegan, but is topped with bee pollen (optional). If you are trying to follow a vegan diet, you may want to skip the bee pollen topping.
Easy Gluten-Free Falafel
This may be the easiest recipe I have ever made! It doesn’t involve many ingredients,only took me about 20 minutes to make, and is naturally delicious. This recipe is gluten-free and vegan. It makes about 10 falafel.
I topped the falafel over a salad bowl with tahini sauce. You could also throw them in a pita. See recipe below!
How to Make Your Own Almond Milk
Almond milk is such a staple in my kitchen. I use it in my morning matcha lattes, my smoothie bowls, and oatmeal. If you’ve followed my blog for a bit, you know that I LOVE smoothie bowls! I’ve noticed that store bought almond milks contain a ton of ingredients including fillers and preservatives. I recently tried making my own almond milk. It’s something that I have been wanting to do for a while and it was seriously so easy! The craziest part? It actually tastes like almonds. The most basic almond milk is made with only 2 ingredients- almonds and water. You can also add additional ingredients such as dates and cinnamon to sweeten and flavor the almond milk (the natural way!), but in this post I will just include the most basic almond milk recipe.
Cherry Cacao Smoothie Bowl

Note: This recipe is labeled as vegan, but is topped with bee pollen (optional). If you are trying to follow a vegan diet, you may want to skip the bee pollen topping.
