My daughter and I were at Barnes and Noble reading books and stumbled across If You Give a Mouse a Brownie. After reading the book, we both wanted brownies and decided to make our own. We had much success with our vegan energy bites, so I decided to go a similar route with the brownies. I was almost out of my Garden of Life protein powder, so I took a chance in adding it to my recipe hoping it would work in the place of cacao powder. It did! My non-vegan husband ate four brownies, so I knew I was on to something. They are very good. Pulse your ingredients in the food processor until they are combined thoroughly. My secret ingredient is raw organic meal. It is amazing! I am going to try it in other dessert recipes as well. Once you press your ingredients into your baking dish, allow it to set in the refrigerator to firm up. This will allow you to easily cut it into brownie servings. Although there are not many ingredients to this vegan dessert, it is very rich. I cut mine into small servings, but you may decide to do larger brownies. Rich, decadent, sweet, and only four ingredients! Author: The Sensible Vegan Recipe Type: Dessert Cuisine: Vegan Serving: 16 Ingredients

This slaw recipe is unlike the slaw that I ate prior to becoming vegan in so many ways! I think back to the slaw with mayo, and I just sigh. I have come a long way! Lol! This vegan slaw recipe contains some of my favorite ingredients. It's very simple to make, and the flavor is out of this world. I look forward to topping my vegan burgers with it tomorrow. The foundation of the recipe is red cabbage. I like incorporating red cabbage into my recipes because of the great health benefits of this superfood. It has more vitamin C than oranges, it's high in fiber and antioxidants, and it tastes great and can be used in many ways. Tangy, fresh, delicious, nutritious, slaw-tastic, and contains only five ingredients.

Some pack tremendous heat, and others are light and fruity. However, there are quite a few out there that have a small serving size, and a high sodium content that can creep up on you if you are mindlessly munching!

This is a quick and simple recipe that you can make at home and revise with your favorite ingredients. You can at it to vegan salads, vegan nachos, and any other vegan dishes you like.

When the weather is hot, cool, refreshing fruit is my favorite meal or snack. When you combine it with fresh veggies and sprinkle in nuts, the most amazing vegan salad is born. I call it the Summer Salad. It tastes wonderful, and it happens to be very good for you as well.

Pizza night is a fun time at our house, and on this particular night we decided to make mini personalized pizzas instead of a large vegan pizza. My five year-old daughter was super excited and talked about making pizzas all day. This was a big deal. You see, pizza night is about more than just making pizza. It is also a time where my daughter can taste and learn about fresh, healthy ingredients, participate in putting recipes together, and feel a sense of pride about the finished product.

When you take some of your favorite fresh veggies and put them in a vegan wrap recipe, something great happens. You get a quick, easy, nutritious and delicious meal. Wraps are also great for meal prep the next day and throughout the week. There are so many veggies and dressings to choose from, they never get old! Whenever I choose veggies, I think about the health benefits as well. For instance, yellow squash is packed with vitamins. It also has anti-cancer properties and improves cardiovascular and prostate health. When combined with other fresh vegetables, the health benefits are phenomenal. It gives me a great feeling when I know I am providing my family with healthy, wholesome, and nutritious meals. Vegan wraps are very kid-friendly as well. My daughter chooses her veggies and designs her own wrap, and I love spicy foods, so my wraps usually have an element of heat. My husband likes fresh and savory wraps.

I frequently buy vegan energy bars, and I normally buy chocolate peanut butter or mint chocolate flavor. Instead of buying them, this time I decided to make some myself. This recipe only requires six ingredients. One of the ingredients in the mixture is flaxseed. There are numerous studies on the health benefits of flaxseeds. Flaxseeds contain protein and essential amino acids. They may also help prevent heart disease, and they contain soluble fiber, which may promote weight loss by reducing hunger and decreasing cravings.

I have made vegan quesadillas before, but this time I wanted to add some heat and spiciness to the recipe. Since reading about the ingredient carrageenan, I decided to eliminate it from my diet. This meant that I could not use the same cheese that I used in my last vegan quesadilla recipe, but I stumbled upon an amazing vegan cheese product that added the perfect touch to my spicy quesadillas. I used Tomato Cayenne Chao slices by Field Roast. They are "made with a hint of tomato and complimented by bell peppers and cayenne, providing a sharp and spicy cheese." This cheese melts perfectly, and I will definitely be using it in many vegan recipes in the future. Spicy, cheesy, meaty, and only six ingredients!

This recipe was so fun to make! It is absolutely a kid-friendly vegan recipe, and my daughter and I had a ball making it! I wanted to make a quick and easy vegan snack that incorporated some of our favorite ingredients: chocolate and peanut butter. This recipe definitely did the job!
The base of the recipe is pitted dates. This is the perfect consistency after pulsing them in the food processor. Dates are high in vitamins and minerals, they promote digestive health, reduce blood pressure because of the high magnesium content, and studies also show that they boost brain health because of the vitamin B6 content.
Whenever possible, I encourage my daughter to help with my vegan recipes. She loves cooking, and she really liked this recipe. She was able to mold the mixture and be messy! She is also learning about tastes, textures, different ingredients, and how they work together to make a recipe. She was so proud of the finished product. Those teachable moments are priceless!

What do you get when you combine garden veggies with lightly seasoned Slow Roasted Tofurky Chick'n? A vegan salad in a league of its own! The combination of ingredients is superfood fabulous! Red Cabbage: Red cabbage is disease fighting and gut healing! It boosts the immune system and also improves bone strength. Carrots: Carrots are high in Beta-carotene, the red-orange pigment found in plants and fruits. Beta-carotene consumption can help protect against prostate cancer. Studies also show that carrots help with blood sugar regulation and delay the effects of aging. Mixed Greens: Mixed greens help sharpen eyesight, build bones, protect your heart, and reduce the risk of diabetes. White Mushrooms: White mushrooms improve immune system function and help control high cholesterol and diabetes.

For the past several weeks I have walked through many grocery stores with aisles packed with various Easter goodies. This is my first vegan Easter, and as I browsed through the stores, I picked up several items and was absolutely disappointed at the long lists of GMO and non-vegan ingredients. Well, I decided to make vegan Easter treats for my family. My dark chocolate peanut butter cups are always a hit, but since it is Easter, I decided to make vegan chocolate peanut butter eggs as well. The recipe is simple and only requires five ingredients to make. The hardest part of the recipes is waiting for the peanut butter eggs to chill before dipping them into the chocolate. Fortunately, I was working on preparing a vegan meal at the same time, so the wait time allowed me to focus on making dinner as well.

I've never been a beef eater, but in my non-vegan days I ate more than my share of ground turkey. I am so glad that there are so many quality vegan meat substitutes to choose from these days. From beefy vegan nachos, to vegan pizza, the recipe options are endless using the vegan crumbles. I have used many different vegan ground crumbles, but the Boca veggie ground crumbles are my favorite. Boca uses pure ingredients, and it is also carrageenan free. Carrageenan is used in everything from yogurt to ice cream. It acts as a thickener to improve the texture of certain foods; however, several animal studies have linked carrageenan to ulcerations and cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. This is why I read ingredients thoroughly and make sure I do not see it among the list of items I purchase. Filling, beefy, loaded with veggies, and only seven ingredients!

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.

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!

It was such a hit that I ended up making it twice this week. In fact, my non-vegan husband stated that this is his second favorite of my vegan meals. (My veggie burgers are his absolute favorite.) Besides being rich in vitamins and potassium, bell peppers also contain a specific type of antioxidant known as lycopene. It gives red bell peppers their color. Lycopene is a carotenoid that helps fight free radicals that we acquire from natural exposure to toxins in the environment. I also shared with my husband that Lycopene might help prevent certain types of cancer, especially prostate cancer in men. It's amazing how tofu can be transformed.

Not only is it high in protein, it is inexpensive and easy to use. I have made different types of vegan bowl recipes, but this one is my favorite thus far. I think the organic red cabbage made it extra tasty! First of all, red cabbage has pretty impressive health benefits. Dr. Axe calls it "disease-fighting and gut healing." Red cabbage boosts the immune system, fights inflammation and arthritis, aids healthy bones and reduces the risk of osteoporosis, combats chronic disease, and strengthens gut health.

I was so hesitant about cooking with it that I almost passed it by. I had never used the product before, so I was not sure how it was going to turn out. It was very good--actually better than the restaurant version, but after that I never bought it again. I was looking in my refrigerator one day last week and saw a package of super firm tofu that I did not buy. I was so pleased that my non-vegan husband had purchased it. I still wasn't sure about what I was going to do with it. After eating a tofu burrito bowl at Willy's Mexicana Grill, I was inspired to make a similar dish at home. I was extremely pleased at how the tofu turned out. It had a nice crunch on the outside, and it was tender and packed with flavor on the inside. In tofu dishes I had previously purchased at various restaurants and stores, some of it was dry, tasteless, soggy, and just gross. I did not want this to happen, so I was determined to try and season it as best I could. I kept pondering as to what to use, and I finally settled on Bragg Liquid Aminos. I read the label and was convinced it would work, and I was right! Score! Seven ingredients later, I had a winner dinner! Crispy, savory, spicy, filling, and only seven ingredients!

On this particular day, I had decided to make a vegan salad with different types of fruit. I was not exactly sure which types of fruit I was going to include (except strawberries), so I wandered around the store looking for ideas. As my daughter and I were walking through Whole Foods, I grabbed a bottle of lime juice because I was going to make my own dressing for the vegan salad recipe...but then I stopped at one of the sample tables. After I had sampled the blackberry vinaigrette and salad toppers by Aunt Dottie, I knew exactly what I was going to include in my salad: kale, blueberries, mango, strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, blackberry vinaigrette dressing, and the coconut salad toppers (my daughter really liked the sample). I put my lime juice back, and decided to use the dressing I had sampled instead, and it was the perfect compliment to the vegan fruit salad.

Back in the day when I was not vegan, I used to absolutely love the white chicken chili at Roaster's restaurant. Fast forward to this long holiday weekend. I found myself craving the chili, so I ventured out to look for possible ingredients. I even looked at the Roaster's recipe online to see if I could veganize it. I finally decided to just "experiment" and see what happens. It turned out exceptionally well, and my non-vegan husband gave it a thumbs up. The weather was very cold today, so this warm, healthy vegan chili recipe really hit the spot. It only took nine ingredients to make, but the flavor and presentation look as if it took a long time to pull together. Kale is one of my favorite vegetables, so I had to incorporate it into my recipe. It not only adds a new dimension of flavor, but the health benefits of this superfood are pretty impressive. I also used Tofurky chick'n in this vegan chili recipe, but I did not include it in the entire pot. I wanted to see how the chili tasted with and without "meat." By adding it into the chili, it contributes to over 15 grams of protein per serving! Both versions of the vegan chili were amazing. Since, I am a fan of very spicy food, I added cayenne pepper to my individual bowl. If you are making this as a family meal, you may want to keep the hot factor at a minimum, especially if you have a small child like me. Besides, not everyone is a fan of hot and spicy vegan food! Meaty, protein-packed, savory, comfort food, in only nine ingredients!
