Vegan Energy Bites

When you need some energy during the day, here is a great nutritious snack to pick you up quickly. Great for both adults and children.

3 Ingredient Late-Night Granola

This is “Late-Night Granola” for two reasons: one of our nightly routines as we wind down for bedtime is sharing a bowl of this granola, topped with fruit and almond milk. Secondly, I often make this granola at night, or when it can have some “sitting time” after baking to get nice and crunchy.

Rainbow Chard & Tofu Vegan Muffins

These vegan muffins pack a powerful nutritional punch unlike traditional muffins, which are often full of butter, sugar, and saturated fats. They make a great breakfast, and are the perfect size for a light lunch or mid afternoon snack.

Avocado Rice Cakes

There will be no plain rice cakes or boring snacks on my watch. Crunchy rice cakes are topped with sliced avocado and a few generous spoonfuls of Spicy Tomato Jam. A light sprinkle of salt (optional) and pepper finishes off this simple yet immensely satisfying snack.

Maple and Curry Roasted Walnuts

These nuts are perfect as an appetizer or chop them and serve on a salad.

Butternut Squash Muffins for Halloween

The grated, fresh butternut squash vs. a puree allows you to taste its deliciousness much more intensely.

Coconut Bites

These mango coconut balls are a plant-based treat that will melt in your mouth. This dessert has no added sugar plus they are oil-free.

Oil-Free Buckwheat Crackers With Sunflower Seeds

Enjoy these oil-free and flourless buckwheat crackers.

Low-Fat Microwave Potato Chips

Potato chips can be healthy AND still delicious!

Heart-Shaped Oat & Banana Cookies

My plant-based, oil-free, sugar-free and even gluten-free (if you use gluten-free oats) heart-shaped cookies are so simple and delicious. No need to go to a store for a treat or gift when you can so easily make them at home.

Spicy Cashews and Pecans

My favorite combination is half pecans, half cashews. You might try almonds or walnuts, too. Just remember to use raw nuts, rather than roasted, to prevent over-toasting.

Homemade Granola

This recipe makes just about one quart, but I sometimes prepare a double batch just to share with friends, poured into little Mason jars and tied with ribbons.

Roasted Chickpeas

These guilt-free snacks are full of flavor and satisfying. They take some time to bake but require almost no labor. These are great for a mid-afternoon snack.

Apple Oatmeal Cookies

These super healthy cookies are simple and delicious – using only 5 ingredients, and taking only 5 minutes to assemble!

Banana Pinwheels

This simple snack is a great protein-punch in a pinch. They’re very portable and the perfect size for little hands.

Yummy Mini Watermelons

Here is a recipe (well, more like instructions) for making some really adorable mini-watermelons from baby cucumbers and watermelon hearts. They are great for lunches or as hors d’oeuvre. This recipe makes four, the perfect number for a box lunch.

Cucumber and Kale Open-Faced Sandwich

The layer of kale and mustard together in this sandwich is delicious, particularly when you use a great mustard.
