Overnight oats with coconut milk and blueberries is the perfect breakfast for spring. The weather is warming up, so cold breakfast options are more popular to enjoy. The coconut milk makes the oats extra creamy, which is not typical for an overnight oats recipe. One could argue that the coconut milk is the extra “something” that you’ve been missing from your oat recipes. Not only is it filling and rich, but it also provides an incredible nutritional profile.

If you are new to overnight oats, then you are in for a treat. Although they are not raw vegan, they do make the perfect addition to your post-cleanse recipe arsenal. To make overnight oats, you mix rolled oats, liquid, and several different flavors or toppings in a jar. Place this magical concoction in the refrigerator overnight and pull it out in the morning to enjoy your breakfast. You can grab it and take it to go, or you can pull it out of the fridge, empty it into a bowl, and add more toppings.

This recipe features blueberries, rolled oats, coconut milk, grade A maple syrup, and chia seeds. While there are other oats to use, rolled oats are the best for overnight oats. The easily soak up liquid without becoming too soggy, which happens if you use quick oats or instant oats. It’s up to you if you want to use fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries in this recipe. The texture of frozen blueberries is better suited for overnight oats, but the difference between fresh and frozen isn’t dramatic. Lastly, make sure to use full-fat coconut milk, as this provides an extra creamy base for your overnight oats.

If you are familiar with our raw vegan recipes, you know that we enjoy a tasty cleanse-approved dessert. Sometimes, a little sweet treat at the end of a day of cleansing makes all the difference. Not only is it rewarding, but it also motivates you and shows you all the possibilities of raw food. Plus, a heavenly dessert entices your taste buds.

It may not be of popular belief, but enjoying ice cream during the colder months is a near perfect experience. Because of the cold, the ice cream doesn’t melt quickly, so you can enjoy it without gobbling it as quickly as you can. Like most raw vegan ice cream recipes, this recipe uses frozen bananas as the base. The bananas set up a luxurious consistency that’s exactly what you want from an ice cream. One thing to note is that you want to choose bananas that are ripe. Ideally, the peels should be yellow with some brown spots because that elevates the sweetness level for your ice cream.

Peel the bananas and cut them roughly before you freeze them. This is a pro tip for all you raw vegan ice cream enthusiasts. You don’t want to inconvenience yourself and have to peel frozen peels off the frozen bananas. It’s quite irritating, to say the least.

Bananas provide the sweetness, but sometimes you need a little extra sweetness, which is where the maple syrup comes into play. That balances the intense spice of the fresh ginger and the tropical nuttiness of the coconut. We hope you love this raw ice cream during your cleanse.

The great thing about energy bites is that you can eat two and be completely full. Rich in fiber, healthy fats, protein, and other nutrients, energy bites help to sustain you between meals. Walnuts are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, making them great for brain health. The only thing to keep in mind in regards to energy bites is that they are high in calories. You don’t want to eat 12 bites in one sitting because that may amount to 4,000 calories. If you are on a mission to lose weight, that shoots you in the foot. Two energy bites is the perfect portion to fill you up.

This recipe contains desiccated coconut, which is not the same as shredded coconut that you typically find in the baking aisle of a grocery store. Shredded coconut in the bag contains added sugars and a lot of processed ingredients. The best coconut to use is desiccated coconut, which is dehydrated coconut meat. You can add that directly to the food processor without chopping it up. If you want to elevate your presentation and be a little fancy, you can finely dice the desiccated coconut and roll the energy balls in them before consumption.

In order to be successful at that, you’ll have to refrigerate or freeze them for a little so that they can firm up. Once they are firm, you can roll them in a plate of diced desiccated coconut. Return them to the freezer or fridge and let them be until they are firm. We hope you like them!

This recipe isn’t an everyday occasion during your raw vegan journey. Think of this as an elaborate raw vegan brunch item. First, you have to carefully craft the coconut yogurt. Allow that to set in the fridge for a couple hours. Then you get to assemble the breakfast boats, which are completely customizable, as long as the toppings are 100% cleanse-approved.

When you go out to purchase a papaya, make sure to get one that is ripe, but not too ripe. If you have them available at your grocery store, purchase a Hawaiian papaya. They are much sweeter and have better flavor than the larger papayas that come from Mexico. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what papaya you get because they are all beneficial for digestive health and immune function. According to many studies, the digestive enzymes in papayas work to move food through the digestive tract. Additionally, the antioxidants in papayas may help reduce inflammation and cholesterol levels.

There are a lot of seemingly healthy bars on the market, and they attract you trendy health words. Something that is gluten-free, dairy-free, and Non-GMO can also contain lots of sugar or unhealthy fats. To avoid the potential intake of unhealthy ingredients, it’s often better to make your own protein bars or energy bites. This sounds a lot more complicated than it is. In the case of these cashew coconut balls, simply blend three ingredients in a food processor and form them into balls. That’s it!

The great thing about this recipe is that the ingredients are raw vegan, gluten-free, and they can be organic if you purchase those varieties. If you are cleansing, energy bites make great travel snacks, so we recommend portioning out a couple in separate bags for snacks throughout the week. Eat two of these energy balls and you’ll say goodbye to any feelings of hunger!

Is there anything better than slurping up a comforting soup on a cold day? Warm soup is basically medicine for the soul. In the case of this soup, you can have it for dinner and it may lull you to sleep. That’s how delicious and satisfying it is!

This soup doesn’t require a lot of seasonings; rather, it calls for traditional ingredients in Thai cuisine. One of our favorite ingredients is lemongrass, which has been known to boost immune function, improve circulation, and improve sleep. Additionally, this soup includes galangal and kaffir lime leaves. Now, if you can’t get your hands on either of those ingredients, you can use ginger in place of galangal and more lime juice in place of the kaffir lime leaves.

Yogurt may be one of the best breakfast foods. It’s too bad that packaged yogurt products are replete with artificial flavors and excess sugars. You can easily make your own yogurts with natural, raw vegan ingredients. Normally, our cleanse-approved yogurt recipes use cashews or banana as the base. Both of those ingredients provide optimum creaminess, which helps replicate the texture of real yogurt.

This recipe is a game changer because raw coconut meat makes for the perfect yogurt base. Not only is it inherently sweet, but it offers a unique nuttiness that enhances the flavor of the yogurt. You will have to get your hands on some young Thai coconuts in order to make this recipe, but it’s so worth it. Make sure not to throw away the fresh coconut water because you’ll need it for the blending process.

Energy balls contain nuts, seeds, some type of sweetener, and possibly dried fruit, meaning they fill you up quickly. In addition to being the perfect snacks, energy balls provided you with sustained energy throughout the day. They also help to keep cravings at bay because they typically contain healthy fats and fiber.

These coconut ginger energy balls go above and beyond the call of duty. What we mean by this is that they seduce your taste buds with a spicy/sweet flavor and they satiate your hunger.
