Get ready to roll….up some ingredients to transform them into delectable collard wraps. Collard greens make for excellent wraps because they are sturdy and do not tear easily. Just make sure that you get rid of that stiff, fibrous stem as best you can, or else your taste buds will be in for a bitter, chewy surprise. Think of those big, leafy collards as nature’s tortillas, only they are sodium-free and pack a serious nutritional punch. Not only that, you get to pack them with a colorful mix of crunchy veggies, for example, some shredded carrots, bell peppers, alfalfa sprouts, avocado, and some deliciously sweet mango. Each bite is better than the last!

The excitement doesn’t just end with these wraps. In fact, you could argue that these wraps are nothing without the silky, slightly sweet and salty almond butter dipping sauce. It is absolutely to die for! Think of this sauce like a raw vegan alternative to a classic peanut sauce. It is nutty, creamy, and has just the write amount of sweetness to complement the ingredients inside the wraps. You can pour some sauce over the ingredients before you roll them up inside the collard leaves, or you can serve it on the side and dip as you go. You can also pour a little inside the wraps and dip after every bite. There need be no shame in your dipping sauce game! T

here is no right way to do this! We just hope that you enjoy these wraps as much as we do, as they are a great way to shake up the salads and smoothies on your raw vegan diet. If you enjoy it, be sure to drop a comment, so that we know whether to keep posting recipes like this one. We love your feedback!

Are you familiar with the legendary date shake? Well, if you have ever visited Palm Springs, CA, then you understand their importance. A date shake is a milkshake made with dates and it is a signature recipe of the Coachella Valley, which is where 95% of the countries dates grow. The only thing wrong with a date shake is that it is not raw vegan. Fear not, friends, because we did our best to recreate the classic, while putting our own spin on it. This recipe is just as indulgent, sweet, and filling as a date shake, only it is much healthier for you.

This date smoothie is the perfect combination of creamy banana, rich almond butter, sweet dates, aromatic cinnamon, and chia and flaxseed perfection. One thing you can count on, besides a nutty and sweet flavor profile, is that you will get a good amount of fiber by drinking this smoothie. This smoothie has multiple sources of fiber, including the banana, dates, flaxseed, chia seeds, and almond butter. All of these ingredients provide a mixture of soluble and insoluble fiber, both of which are necessary for optimal digestive function. When the digestive system is running smoothly, the body can eliminate toxins more effectively.

You remember that delicious almond butter we mentioned? Well, make sure that it is raw! The almond butter provides healthy fats and protein, two nutrients that help you feel full. Speaking of healthy fats, let us not forget about the flaxseed and chia seeds, both of which provide valuable omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s help encourage optimal brain and heart function! Basically, this smoothie is a flavor and health bomb, so get to drinking! There’s no time to delay!

While you are using one of our many cleanses, you have to avoid certain foods, including rice paper wraps. Those rice paper wraps can be tricky to use, as they tend to stick to themselves or tear easily. Allow us to remove them from the equation and replace them with sturdy, raw collard greens for this recipe. Roll up the different vegetables as tight as you can and then dip the wraps in the highly addictive almond butter sauce. Not only are these wraps backed to the gills with nutrients, but they are also bursting with flavor. Trust us when we tell you that dipping sauce is life!

As a quick note, you can use rainbow chard or Swiss chard if you cannot find raw collard greens. If you prefer the taste of chard to collards, go with chard instead. Both greens serve as great wraps that hold up nicely with all of the ingredients inside. Additionally, if you want sauce in every bite and don’t want to dip the wraps, pour some of the dipping sauce on the ingredients in the wraps before rolling them up. Speaking of the filling ingredients, you can swap those out with others that you prefer. Do you prefer carrots instead of red bell peppers? Swap them out!

Once you have all of your ingredients prepped, make sure to lay them out on a work station so they are easily accessible when you roll up the greens. Additionally, remove the ends of the thicker stems from the greens, as those stems are fibrous and bitter. You can open the leaves and roll up the ingredients like a burrito, or you can fold the leaves in half, line up the ingredients, and roll them up that way. Roll as you please, but make sure that you do one thing: Enjoy the meal!

Disclaimer: This recipe is not Full Body Cleanse-approved. Sorry, folks, but sometimes we like to post recipes that work well as you transition into life after cleansing. These recipes are meant to help you, and you can also use them if you participate in our Maintenance Package or Going Vegan 20-day Challenge products. The name of the game is: simple ingredients. You do not have to overcomplicate things, and you definitely do not need to use harmful ingredients.

These vegan no bake cinnamon energy bites have a flavor that is reminiscent of a cinnamon roll, only these are much healthier. They make for a great on-the-go snack or breakfast treat. Just one or two will help fill you up and simultaneously satisfy your sweet tooth. You may already have the ingredients on hand! These energy bites contain the following:

• Cinnamon: This warming spice helps to give the bites their signature spice flavor.
• Rolled oats: The oats not only add a lot of fiber and protein, but they also give the bites an extra chewy texture. They also serve as a binder, which helps the bites stay together when you form them.
• Medjool dates: Time for the sweetness! These dates work to provide natural sweetness and, similar to the oats, act as a binder to help everything stick together.
• Almond butter: Almond butter provides a lovely richness and creaminess, along with more protein and healthy fats. Just make sure that you get the unsweetened and oil-free variety. In fact, try to get raw almond butter, as that is the best version.
• Vanilla extract: A little vanilla extract goes a long way, and it also complements the cinnamon. If you can, purchase pure alcohol-free vanilla extract, as that is a better product.

A smoothie without a banana? Believe it or not, you don’t have to include banana in every smoothie you make. Yes, bananas offer sweetness and can help your smoothie achieve a smoother, creamier texture, but they aren’t always necessary. That is especially true if you are trying to watch your sugar intake. You can usually achieve the same creamy consistency by using avocado instead of bananas. This smoothie doesn’t have either of those creamy ingredients, but it does fulfill 273% of your recommended daily intake (RDI) of vitamin C, 62% of calcium, and 273% of vitamin A.

This green smoothie tastes of kale, but not overwhelmingly to the point where it tastes like lawn clippings. The sweetness of the apple and bright lemon juice work well to tone it down. Without the banana, the flavor of the apple really comes through. Plus, the addition of the almond butter adds a nutty, fatty component that takes your focus off the slightly bitter kale flavor. Just make sure that you remove the thick kale stems, or you’ll be enjoying a kale apple smoothie that really tastes like bitter kale.

To make this smoothie, simply add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth. The homemade almond milk will do a great job at creating a creamier consistency. It also builds on the nuttiness of the almond butter and does a better job than water at distracting from the kale flavor. We hope you love it!

This spinach, banana, and almond butter smoothie tastes like it was made for a superhero. Although it doesn’t give you the ability to fly or superman-like strength, it does supercharge your body with healthy fats, protein, fiber, and more. Spinach, although it colors the smoothie green, takes a back seat to the sweetness of the banana and nuttiness of the almond butter. There’s no way to be sure, but legend has it that your taste buds do a little dance after every slurp because the smoothie is that tasty! The almond butter really adds that extra oomph of flavor, so much so that you’ll be slurping it down faster than you can say “superfood.”

Where do we begin in regards to the health benefits? This smoothie is like a professional shot to the liver, but in the best way possible. Spinach is full of iron and fiber, which works to keep you satiated and fuller for longer. Bananas offer a lot of a potassium, which not only works to keep sodium levels down, but also aids muscle recovery. The almond butter is an excellent source of protein and healthy fats, not to mention nutty goodness. When you add all of those ingredients together, even though it isn’t the longest list of ingredients, you end up with a tasty, nutritious smoothie. One glass may even have you feeling like Popeye! Just be sure to brush your teeth after because you don’t want to walk around with spinach in your teeth all day.

This smoothie combines the creaminess of the buttery avocado, sweetness of the banana, and nuttiness of raw almond butter for a balanced smoothie. It makes for a refreshing snack, filling breakfast, or post-workout refuel option. Each sip leaves you craving more! In fact, we can almost guarantee that this smoothie will become a regular in your smoothie rotation. If it does, please let us know!

This avocado smoothie not only impresses in the flavor department, but also on the nutritional front. Here’s a quick overview of how the main ingredients in this smoothie benefit your overall health:

• Avocado: Contributing a rich and creamy texture to the smoothie, avocados provide healthy fats, essential vitamins, and minerals. Avocados also offer beta-sitosterol, which, when consumed with other plant sterols, may help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
• Banana: Some people refer to the banana as nature’s perfect snack because they are full of complex carbs, fiber, and minerals like potassium and magnesium. Bananas contain vitamin B6, which helps to regulate appetite, improve immune function, aid nervous system function, and regulate sleep.
• Spinach: Although kale gets a lot of attention, spinach is one of the healthiest leafy greens out there. It provides lots of folate, iron, magnesium, fiber, and vitamins A, C, and K. Spinach also has a high amount of zeaxanthin and caroteinoids, which work to flush out free radicals from the body.
• Almond Butter: A 2021 controlled trial found that almond butter may help decrease A1C, which indicated the average blood sugar levels. Since almonds have shown to improve insulin resistance, the thought is that raw almond butter also has this benefit. Plus, it is rich in fiber, protein, and unsaturated fats.

The air fryer is a wonderful culinary tool that can save you time if you need to make meals in a pinch. Think of an air fryer like a compact convection oven. It takes a fraction of the time to make a meal in the air fryer than it does to make in the oven. The only thing to keep in mind is that you do not want to overcrowd your air fryer, or else your food won’t cook evenly. The other thing to consider is the wetter your food is, the longer it will take to crisp up. Drizzle some oil over your food or spray it with avocado oil cooking spray before you air fry your food

These air-fried pineapple tofu skewers are the perfect entree for any night of the week. You marinate the skewers in a sweet and gingery almond butter sauce prior to sticking them in the air fryer. Depending how long your skewers are, you may get anywhere between four to seven skewers. Just make sure that you leave a little space between the veggies and tofu cubes on the skewers to allow for even cooking. Additionally, we recommend that you either make some extra marinade or reserve some to use as a dipping sauce when you get ready to eat the skewers. There isn’t much else to say, other than these may be the tastiest vegan skewers you’ve ever eaten!

Do you ever go to the grocery store and find inspiration for a recipe based on ingredients you notice? Perhaps inspiration strikes when you visit a farmer’s market, which only has certain produce items available. You may think of something, but the result scares you a bit. We understand not wanting to waste food, but sometimes beautiful recipes happen when you experiment.

That is exactly how we feel about the powerful pear smoothie. It combines the sweet, earthy flavor of pear with creamy homemade almond milk and spicy cinnamon. The raw almond butter also adds a nutty element to this flavor, in addition to providing healthy fats and protein. We encourage you to add a sprinkle of sea salt, an optional ingredient, to play off the almond butter flavor. Think of this like sea salt and caramel or sea salt and chocolate. These pairings just go well together!

Don’t worry about this smoothie not being sweet, though. You have the natural sugars from the pear, banana, and maple syrup. You can always try the smoothie before adding the maple syrup to the blender to see if that extra sweetness is necessary. It’s possible that you’ll enjoy the flavor combinations of the other ingredients. Just remember to save the almond pulp after you make the almond milk because you can use it in a couple different raw vegan recipes. It works great as a binder in raw vegan desserts or energy bites!

How do you transform a classic candy into a much healthier treat? First off, you clicked on this recipe, so you are on the right path. Energy balls are the best snacks because they pack healthy fats, protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and more into bite-sized balls. Think of them like little nuggets of deliciousness because they easily take on the flavors of any candy or cookie, only without all the processed sugar and fat.

All you need is a food processor, ingredients, and your energy balls are a few minutes of pulsing away from becoming a real life snack. The blending part is the easiest component to the recipe. When it comes time to shape them into bite-size balls, things can be clean or messy. You can use a tablespoon or cookie scooper to form little balls, or you can use your hands. If you really want to avoid a mess on your hands, you can wear disposable gloves, wet them with water, and form the energy balls. Or, you can simply wet your bare hands with water before forming the balls. That will help avoid sticking or clumping!

The only thing to be careful about with this turtle energy balls is how many you eat in one sitting. Because they contain raw almond butter, dates, raw pecans, and chia seeds, they are high in calories. Because they have contain healthy fats, fiber, and protein, you don’t need to eat a lot to get full. Enjoy one or two between meals and you will be golden!
