You are not restricted to making bars here. You could turn these into a slice, cutting into squares or roll into balls and coat or drizzle with chocolate.

What’s great about these vegan strawberry ripe bars is they aren’t too sweet! We’ve added minimal amounts of coconut sugar. Therefore, the sweetness is simply coming from the strawberries and coconut.

Strawberries are a great source of vitamin C, making it an excellent immune and anti-ageing food. Did you know that strawberries are also a good source of calcium? Not to mention magnesium and phosphorous.

We love overnight oats for a few reasons:

– You can make it the night before, ready to go in the morning (we love a time saver)
– You can get creative and make any flavour of overnight oats
– It’s a healthy breakfast that tastes like dessert

Enjoy!

There are a few reasons why we love this nice cream recipe. Firstly a lot (not all) of conventional ice creams you can buy from supermarkets are laced with refined sugar, colourings and additives. They’re also a lactose intolerant person’s worst nightmare.

Let’s also discuss packaging! Almost all ice creams (dairy or non-dairy) come in some sort of packaging. Some can be recycled, some can’t. When it comes to being environmentally conscious, we always go by REDUCE, REUSE, then RECYCLE. This nice cream recipe is quick, easy, yummy and completely zero waste. Yay!

Besan flour is gluten free. 100g of besan flour gives you a massive 22g of protein. Making these cookies high in protein. Therefore they have a positive effect on our blood sugar levels.

Peanut butter is also high in protein. Some might say these cookies are the perfect afternoon snack!

Coconut sugar has a low GI, contains trace amounts of vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, zinc, calcium and iron. It is free from fructose and a sustainable sugar!

If you’re struggling to get enough protein in, there’s no need to worry! These spiced chickpeas are an easy way to bump up your protein levels.

As mentioned, chickpeas are a great source of protein. 1 cup gives you 14.5 grams of protein. They are low in fat and high in dietary fibre. 12.5 grams per cup to be exact. For vegans, vegetarians or those simply trying to increase their protein intake, chickpeas are a great way to go.

Tamari is a much healthier alternative to soy sauce. Whilst both are derived for fermented soybeans, the soybeans used for soy sauce are roasted with wheat, approx. 50:50 ratio. Tamari uses little to no wheat. It is a better option for those who are gluten intolerant. You can find gluten free tamari, as-well.

Did you know that 20 grams (about a tablespoon) of peanut butter gives you approximately 6 grams of protein? Almonds are roughly the same making this raw snickers bar a protein powerhouse treat!

Tahini is a rich source of protein and calcium. 20 grams of tahini gives you 4.4 grams of protein and a whopping 280mg of calcium! Always opt for unhulled over hulled. Unhulled means the outer shell remains in tact. If you choose hulled tahini, you are only getting 37mg of calcium. Keep in mind that most of the fibre is found in that outer shell.

Agave syrup has a low glycemic index so, teamed with protein has a positive effect on insulin sensitivity.

We’ve ramped the flavour in this recipe. Enjoy basmati rice, cooked in coconut milk, aromatic spices and a hint of sweetness from the currants. An easy to make meal that is rather versatile. We’ve gone with stuffed capsicums, but this also makes an excellent side dish too.

Turmeric has an endless list of health benefits. This aromatic spice is anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, liver protective and may even prevent dementia and alzheimers!

The addition of cashews helps bump up the protein level.

We snuck kale in too. Extra nutrients, protein and fibre without even knowing it.
