Fabulous Vegan Recipes

Vegan peanut butter mousse. It's so delish and can be enjoyed any time of the day. I had some last night for dessert and today for breakfast. This is a high protein and low fat recipe and has 100% of the taste. All you need are the ingredients and a food processor. Without further ado, here is it!

I saw this recipe on Facebook and I veganized it. These cookies are low carb but they are so fudgy and delicious, it's easy to not miss the flour. The sweetness is due to monk fruit sugar and chocolate chips but they are also high in healthy fat. Instead of an egg, I used Greek style plant-based yogurt and it worked so so well. If you are strict keto, get keto chocolate chips. If you just want to be lower sugar, use any dark, non dairy chocolate chips you wish.

When I crave sweets, I look for ways to minimize my sugar consumption while also getting that sweet fix. I recently discovered monk fruit sugar so my coffee and sweets have never been the same. It's a great substitute for regular sugar but it has no impact on your blood sugar and has no carbs. I didn't use monk fruit sugar for this recipe, though, so go out and get it because my next recipe will have it.

I don't really make a ton of desserts anymore since watching how much carbs I'm consuming but I have relaxed a little bit with it and just make sure I don't consume added sugar. I wanted to make a low carb cookie though for something to snack on as I'm usually running around all day. I try to bring a protein bar or some kind of snack to give me energy and keep my stomach from growling. These turned out delicious and they are no bake!

I have some vanilla protein powder left and I wanted to use it in something other than smoothies. I always go right to desserts :) These recipes are fat and protein heavy with no added sugar yet they are delish and satisfying. I haven't been adding sugar to my food lately; I'm letting my recipes be yummy on their own, and with the addition of the protein powder, these desserts bars are sweet enough.

Sorry for the lack of posts-this blog has been on the back burner as life has happened this past month and a half. I haven't been inspired to make recipes-actually dessert recipes since this blog is pretty focused on that so I haven't logged on. But I just made these amazing bars last night after I made dinner for my friend and I and by the time I was finished it was pretty late. It didn't take long to make these, though, and then you just leave them in the fridge to set.

Hey readers! It's been a while, I know. I have been so busy between the holidays and the new year, my yoga studio and some other things. What have you been up to? I want to get back to posting more recipes and taking lots of pictures so my goal for 2019 is to write for you more! I made this new recipe yesterday for breakfast and these are just the yummiest before-a-workout treat or a quick breakfast. I didn't add any maple syrup or sweetener but these end up being so sweet due to the raisins and raspberries.

Energy bars with lot of fiber, minimal sugar and high protein are a great snack. I grab and just go and I feel full for the time that I'm out and about and I need to get things done. I love a few brands of energy bars but I also love making my own-it's easy to choose what ingredients go in them and you can make a bunch and freeze These particular bars are without sugar by default since I ran out of maple syrup. They are still so delish!

It's been a while! I made alot of chocolate and I ran a marathon on Sunday-my second NYC marathon. It was difficult yet epic but totally worth it. I drew strength from my family who was waiting for me close to the finish line but most of all I drew strength from myself. I just did not want to give up. More on that in another blog post!

Maybe I should make this a dessert blog. I love pulling out my food processor or hand mixing desserts in my favorite glass blue bowl and then having a sweet treat for any time of day. My desserts are usually healthy enough to eat for breakfast or for before a workout. I try to add as little sweetener as possible or I use fruit like dates or bananas to sweeten a dessert. These are my latest creations:

Ok, so I no sooner posted about not doing much in the kitchen when I got busy making these brownie bars. The first bite you take tastes like raisins and peanut butter but as you get chewing, you can taste the chocolate and chewiness. I love any dessert you can just whip up in your food processor and then freeze.

I made these last week and put the recipe in my social media caption and everyone went nuts. My Instagram and Fb blog page lit up and I got a ton of comments and likes. They are super delish and a great dessert to make to impress your friends. I love making caramel with dates and nut butter-this is the best part of these bars!

Here is a quick snack for you and something I've probably made and posted a hundred times before this. These bites are made with protein powder that is sweetened with stevia so these are pretty much sugar-free, full of fiber and healthy fat. But before I go ahead with the recipe, I wanted to say that my Munch and Meditate Supperclub tickets are on sale for April 28th. Come and meet me as I lead you in a guided meditation that focuses on grounding and renewal (springtime!) and then serve you a complimentary welcome drink of prosecco and a 3 course meal. Want in? Buy tickets at Foreverplantbased.eventbrite.com ! Now for this wonderful snack recipe....

These are super fudgy...so if you like super fudgy, soft brownies, make these. I used pureed organic pumpkin and baked them for at least 30 minutes but they are still fudgy. That's fine with me, by the way! These brownies are a wonderful sweet treat that is also flour-free and can be made with different nut or seed butters. Oh and along with this recipe, I also have my Supper Club announcement!

This recipe will be an experiment for you to delve into the world of nut and seed butters. I was going to use one particular butter for this recipe but we all have different preferences so I'll let you choose. This recipe is only 2 ingredients and you just need to mix by hand; the result: ooey goey caramel.

I haven't said wow and wanted to jump on the phone with someone about a smoothie in a while. This is that time. I just made and taste tested this epic sweet potato smoothie and it was so satisfying and nutritious and delicious that I can't wait to pass this on. You know who this smoothie is great for? Kids who don't like to eat their veggies. You can get an entire sweet potato and some healing spices into them before they even leave for school. This is also the perfect smoothie for YOU who craves sugar but wants to eat healthy. Yum yum, my tummy is full.

Yo, these are so good, people! Fudgey and chocolately. They are also super healthy. I love using beans in place of flour because you're getting lots of fiber and protein along with a sweet treat. This recipe is made completely with whole, plant-based ingredients, nothing processed or artificial. I recently made adzuki bean soup a few posts down so check that out too.

The sweetener for this recipe is critical as is the temperature with which it must be when making these caramels. It's the simplest recipe ever and these caramels are pretty insane. I lost another 2 pounds so I'm treating myself. I'm also running 10 miles on Sunday in record heat so...comfort food.

Ok, so I will say I kind of just winged this recipe and didn't write down every single measurement so be creative and just add each ingredient as you see fit. You just need a food processor and a small pan to melt your coconut oil. Also, my next post was going to be about running but that will be my next post after this. I'm putting the running article on Linkedin first so search for Nicole D'Angelo if Linkedin is your thing. Onto this recipe!

Yeah...so can you tell I'm back to chocolate and peanut butter recipes now? That was a quick break! Oh yeah and you have to make the adzuki bean recipe that is before this one. It's a way different recipe than what I've been posting but it's a hearty, healthy dinner and a great meal to make in bulk and freeze. But now for dessert....the batter for these is already fudge in your food processor so after I freeze them I expect them to be rich and chewy. I just popped 4 bars in the freezer and sat down to quickly get the recipe down here.
