 Being sick is not fun at all. I rarely get sick, but recently I had a terrible sore throat that I could not shake. I tried natural remedies for many days, and it seemed like it was getting better. It would intensify at night with a vengeance. If I have a sore throat, it usually goes away within three of four days, but on the eighth day of having this one I finally went to my doctor. I was told it may be viral, and I was prescribed antibiotics. I wanted to scream! I discussed the danger of antibiotics in a previous post. I decided to fill the ten-day prescription anyway. My throat was on fire! Antibiotics destroy good bacteria with the bad bacteria in your gut, and on the tenth day of taking them I had the worst stomach cramps and bloating ever. I was miserable. Fortunately, I knew the power of probiotics, and I took action.  I did not have the symptoms before I started the antibiotics. In fact, the last time I experienced symptoms like those was before I became vegan. The details are discussed in my vegan journey. I was almost in tears telling my husband about the pain and discomfort, but after eating my probiotic salad combined with the probiotic drink, all symptoms were gone within one day. Hellelujah! Last Thursday night I ate the salad with the drink, and I had the salad and drink for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Friday. Saturday morning my system was back to normal. No bloating. No cramps. Winning!  Powerful, potent, flavorful, gut-repairing, and only five ingredients! Author: The Sensible Vegan Recipe Type: Salad Cuisine: Vegan Serving: One Ingredients

 Trail Mix. It's a high energy, yummy snack that is super quick and easy to make. I don't know why I didn't think of making it sooner. There are tons of variations and ingredients that you can use to make it your very own. This recipe uses nine ingredients and took less than five minutes to put together. My five year-old daughter loves it as well. Of course, she likes the chocolate chips, but we also used it as a teaching tool. While we were eating the mix, several times she picked up something and asked, "What is this?" It was a great opportunity for her to learn about fun, healthy ingredients!  Out of all of the ingredients I used, I knew that I definitely wanted to include dark chocolate. I used dark chocolate chips. I like to incorporate dark chocolate in my vegan dessert recipes. I purchased an extra package when I made the no bake dark chocolate peanut butter bars, so I decided to put them to good use. Dark chocolate has several amazing health benefits as well. It's a powerful source of antioxidants, and the plant phenols in dark chocolate have been shown to lower blood pressure! Just make sure you buy the kind that has at least 70% pure cacao or cocoa solids.  Sweet, crunchy, nutty, dark chocolatey, and only nine ingredients to make!

It was a photo and link to a chocolate peanut butter bar recipe. The bars looked great, but as I browsed through the ingredients for the recipe, I saw the words "butter" and "heavy cream" among the list. Definitely not. So, I decided to try and make these no bake bars myself, veganized. The first attempt was a fail, but this time I definitely got it right. My husband and daughter approved! This is a simple vegan peanut butter bar recipe that everyone will love.  Only five ingredients are needed to make this decadent no bake vegan dessert. One bite and you will wonder why anyone even needed to add heavy cream or butter to the mix. It's not necessary. There is always a vegan substitute.   Rich, creamy, sweet, chocolatey, and only five ingredients to make! Author: The Sensible Vegan Recipe Type: Dessert Cuisine: Vegan Serving: 20 Ingredients

I really didn't care too much for bacon, so I thought I was doing great when I used turkey bacon...sigh. I am so much wiser now, and just because I am vegan doesn't mean I can't enjoy a tasty BLT, right? This vegan BLT will absolutely satisfy that BLT craving, and you only need five ingredients!  Meaty, flavorful, simple, satisfying, and only five ingredients to make!
