Have enjoyed this exact smoothie every morning for the past month.

If you’re like me, you want the the satisfaction of a carby pancake—but don’t want the sugar crash that comes thereafter. Try these protein pancakes that actually satisfy hunger with protein and no sugar.

As the temperatures outside rise, the temperatures on my plate lower. Lately, I’ve had a hankering for a chilled cucumber salad—but I wanted something sightly unconventional, and a little more satisfying for my hunger.

Easy, delicious peanut butter cookies that are gluten-free, refined-sugar-free, and vegan.

If you can’t tell by now, soups are my absolute favorite thing to make, especially during this cold season (you guys, it’s five degrees outside today). I’m looking for something warming, nourishing, and also nutritional — and this soup does it all!

A hardy chili is typically my favorite in the middle of winter, but I’m not always up for something meaty. At the same time, I want the same spice and filling factors that a traditional chili bring. Alas, I bring you: vegan black be chili.

If you’re looking for a creamy white chicken chili without the cream, look no further! This recipe accomplishes a lovely consistency with chickpeas (some partially blended) but includes all the flavor with green chilis, cilantro, and lime.

“Eat mostly plants” is a great rule of thumb (thank you, Michael Pollan), but when my body craves animal protein, I honor what it’s telling me. As a Mexican food lover, this is a go-to: chicken tacos.

Matcha latte recipe comin’ in hot (or iced)!

A refreshing and healthy popsicle for a hot day.

Being mostly plant-based, I often need a protein boost — this smoothie is my go-to.

I often get questions about my daily green juice that I post every day, and had some requests to put it on my blog. So, here it is, girls!

This juice is fabulous because it’s ultra-hydrating, full of vitamins, nourishing for hair, skin, and nails, and is low in sugar. The ingredients below are in the quantities for a single serving (so, double for two people).

My father introduced me to hummus as a little girl (before many of the brands were even sold in grocery stores!), and this is the hummus recipe he always made us. Just recently, Michel and I visited my dad in Boca Raton, Florida, and he made us his hummus. It brought back all the memories.

This recipe is so simple, yet so yummy—I thought I would share it with my fellow girlfriends!

This chili is super easy with minimal ingredient and carries a southwestern spice vibe (love it topped with cilantro and avocado). Also—it’s super satisfying with the hardy sweet potato and fibrous black beans. Perfect for this cold time of year when you’re searching for that little kick of spice and warmth.

I always tell Michael his football season is my soup season. I didn’t grow up watching sports, but I love all the cozy vibes that go alongside football season: fireplaces, blankets, and of course—soups.

Don’t get me wrong—I love a loaded chili, but sometimes, I just want something a bit lighter but equally satisfying.

I love this white bean soup because I feel good after eating it, as opposed to some bean soups where I feel weighed down and, well, not all that great.

Okay, so you’re on the keto/paleo/Whole30 diet, but you still want some chocolate (been there). This freezer chocolate is completely compliant with all the diets listed (just remove the added sweetness for the Whole30), is totally vegan, and won’t elevate your blood sugar/insulin levels like the other chocolate bars out there.

On my IG stories, I have recently shared my obsession for golden milk. Although it’s not a “traditional” holiday beverage, I still find it so warming, comforting, and healing for this time of year. Plus, it’s a healthy alternative to hot cocoa and has a lot of potential health benefits!

This time of year, I always crave pumpkin (who doesn’t?). It seems like all pumpkin options are sugar-laden or high in calories—whether it’s a baked pumpkin-something or your traditional pumpkin latte. Sometimes we want all the goodness without having to sacrifice our diet, though, am I right?

There is something so nourishing and comforting about homemade chicken soup! Truly, I believe chicken soup is not only good for our health, but also good for our soul. There is healing power to it, I tell you. Whenever I feel low vibrations, this easy and healthy recipe lifts me right back up. I hope it does the same for you!
