Popsicles may be the most enjoyable frozen treats for kids, but you can refresh your palate as an adult with these desserts as well. Nothing cools you off like a frozen treat from the freezer on a warmer spring day. Now, the weather isn’t just instantaneously hot just because spring has sprung. That said, it is warming up and there is nothing quite like the newest crave-able popsicle straight out of your kitchen.

Allow us to introduce you to our raw vegan cantaloupe popsicles! Perfectly cleanse-approved and undeniably delicious, these popsicles are based on creamy melon bars, which are commonly made with honeydew. Cantaloupe, however, is a little creamier, and the texture of these pops is more akin to a creamsicle. The only difference is that these popsicles contain three ingredients, not 45 mysterious ingredients, many of which you cannot even pronounce. You can truly taste the difference, and you’ll feel the difference, too!

When it comes to making your own popsicles, we recommend that you use silicone molds. The classic plastic popsicle molds make it difficult to get the popsicles out. Silicone molds make this process so much easier, especially if you run the molds under a little warm water to aid the removal process. Just make sure that the popsicles are completely frozen before you try to remove them. This typically takes about four to six hours, but may require more time. Once you finish your cleanse, you can use coconut milk in place of homemade almond milk. The coconut milk yields a creamier consistency.

7 Foods Commonly Mistaken For Being High In Protein https://www.dherbs.com/articles/7-foods-commonly-mistaken-for-being-high-in-protein/ Wed, 11 Dec 2024 09:11:00 +0000 https://www.dherbs.com/?p=173126

You might think some foods are high in protein, such as protein, chia seeds, yogurt, and broth, but they aren’t as protein-dense as you think.

The post 7 Foods Commonly Mistaken For Being High In Protein appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

Every cell in the human body contains protein, and one could argue that proteins are the building blocks of life. You need protein in your diet to help the body repair cells and produce new ones. Protein is also necessary for growth and development in children, teenagers, and pregnant women. 

By adding protein-rich foods to your diet, you can support immune function and create necessary hormones and neurotransmitters. Protein can also improve body composition, support blood sugar regulation, and aid weight loss. Be mindful of your protein sources, though, as some foods and drinks can both meet and exceed daily protein needs. Some foods and drinks may also not contain as much protein as you think. We’ve detailed some common culprits in this article. 

Chia Seeds

Don’t get us wrong, we love some chia seeds because they contain a lot of fiber, magnesium, selenium, calcium, and zinc. Although they are rich in these nutrients and other healthy fats, they are not particularly high in protein. One ounce of chia seeds contains 4.68 grams (g) of protein. Because you typically consume chia seeds in smaller portions (such as one or two tablespoons at a time), they should not be labeled a high-protein food. That said, they do contain a diverse mix of nutrients that are beneficial for overall health.

Granola Bars

These bars may be convenient for snacking, but they are not the best protein sources. In fact, many granola bars contain lots of processed ingredients and excess sugar. Sometimes, the healthier varieties provide complex carbs and fiber, but only contain a few grams of protein. Choose high-protein bars that offer at least 12 g of protein per serving. That amount of protein can help keep you satiated between meals and promote blood sugar regulation. 

Nut Milks

Although nut milks are great non-dairy alternatives to regular cow’s milk, they are not particularly high in protein. Cow’s milk typically provides 9.5 g of protein per cup, on average. Most people choose not to consume it nowadays for health preferences, dietary concerns, or environmental reasons. Nut milks provide other nutrients that are beneficial, but only a couple provide a sufficient amount of protein, specifically coconut milk, pea milk, and soy milk. Some people can compensate for the low protein content of nut milks by adding a scoop of collagen peptides to the beverage, as they tend to provide 12 g of protein per scoop.

Regular Yogurt

Yogurt makes for a great breakfast and snack option. Some types of yogurt are healthier than others, though, and the same rule applies for protein content. Plain Greek yogurt is the best yogurt option regarding nutrition. It is a great source of protein, providing nearly twice the amount of protein compared to regular fruity yogurts. Not to mention, Greek yogurt doesn’t contain the sugars and processed ingredients that flavored yogurts do. A six-ounce container of Greek yogurt offers 17.3 g of protein! It also contains 50% fewer carbs than regular yogurt. 

Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is commonly thought to be an excellent source of protein. While it offers vitamin E, folate, healthy fats, and other beneficial nutrients, it only offers a small amount of protein. Peanut butter provides eight g of protein per two tablespoons, which is not enough to be categorized as a high-protein food. That same serving contains 200 calories, so you would need to consume several hundred calories to get a lot of protein from peanut butter. 

Broth

Trying to get more protein in your life via soups, stews, and other recipes means that you have to select the right broth. One cup of regular chicken broth contains 3.26 g of protein, making it a low-protein food. Bone broth, however, is more concentrated and contains more protein. Be mindful that packaged broths, even bone broths, tend to contain a lot of sodium. Bone broth also helps to increase your collagen intake. 

Hummus

Hummus is a wonderful dip and chickpeas are naturally rich in protein. One cup of cooked chickpeas offers 14.5 g of protein! Because you consume hummus in small amounts, it is not as high in protein as people think. A quarter cup of hummus provides 4.77 g of protein, which is not enough to be classified as a high-protein dip. If you want to consume more protein, consider eating hummus with high-protein foods, or eat more chickpeas.

Black Sesame Almond Milk https://www.dherbs.com/recipes/recipe/black-sesame-almond-milk/ Mon, 16 Sep 2024 17:46:00 +0000 https://www.dherbs.com/?post_type=recipe&p=172157

This drink may look a little peculiar, but we promise that is one of the best nut milks we’ve ever published. Enjoy it fresh or in smoothies!

Don’t you feel like you have to color outside the lines and break the mold sometimes? Well, every now and then, you need to make a recipe that is slightly outside the box. This is one of those recipes and although it may seem strange and foreign, we promise that it boasts tons of flavor. Raw almonds make up the base of this recipe, but the drink gets its color and some flavor from black sesame seeds. 

The recipe for most nut milks is very simple. It is usually a 1:2 ratio where you use one cup of nuts and two cups of water. You can use that ratio and increase the measurements accordingly if you want to make a bigger batch. Ideally, you soak the almonds in water for a couple hours, or even overnight, to help soften and plump them up. Soaking almonds, or any nut for that matter, also helps release the slightly bitter taste. You can also soak black sesame seeds if you want. Just make sure that you discard the soaking liquid for both the almonds and black sesame seeds. 

Black sesame seeds have already been roasted, meaning you cannot enjoy this drink while cleansing. Black sesame seeds don’t just uniquely color this almond milk, though, they also exhibit impressive health benefits. They are high in copper, which offers anti-inflammatory properties that may ease joint pain. They are also rich in magnesium and calcium, which work to lower blood pressure and support bone health, respectively. Finally, black sesame seeds contain unique lignins, which may help reduce cholesterol

If you are new to cashew milk, you are in for a serious treat. A lot of people enjoy almond milk or oat milk because they are readily available in stores. Making your own nut or seed milk is a very easy process. You just need a blender, a cheesecloth or nut milk bag, and something to store the liquid in. While a nut or seed milk is just two ingredients (the seed/nut and water), sometimes it is nice to add a little more flavor. You can do this by adding certain spices, agave nectar, or dates. In the case of this cinnamon date cashew milk, you get hints of spice from cinnamon and a richer, sweeter flavor from the dates. It’s perfect for your smoothie or to just enjoy as is. You can even put it in your coffee once you finish cleansing!

Cashew milk can be a little expensive in the stores, but you can save a little money when you make your own. Plus, making your own cashew milk means that you get to avoid thickeners, emulsifying agents, added sugars, and processed ingredients. It is better than any store bought cashew milk you will ever buy! With a whole cup of cashews in this recipe, you will incorporate some healthy fats and fiber into the nut milk. Using raw cashews not only makes this nut raw vegan, but it also helps you control the salt and flavor. If you do not have a strong blender, soak your cashews in water for a couple hours before blending. Just make sure to discard the soaking liquid before blending the cashews with the rest of the ingredients.

Get out the ice cream maker that you bought that one time and haven’t used in 10 years. You know the one! It most likely has dust buildup and has not seen the light of day since the release of the iPhone 4. An ice cream maker is a fun kitchen appliance that doesn’t take up a lot of space and can help you create a classic dessert. Just make sure that you freeze the base for a couple days to ensure that it doesn’t melt when you turn it on to churn the ice cream.

Unlike store bought ice cream recipes, this one is actually healthy. Besides the addictive chocolatey flavor, it is wonderfully smooth and creamy. It doesn’t weight you down, either! Because the base is coconut milk, which has lots of healthy fats, you don’t mindlessly eat a huge amount. The fats actually help to fill you up and prevent you from overeating. If only every dessert was like that! You can the healthy fat and protein content of this ice cream by topping it with natural almond or peanut butter. Cacao nibs atop your ice cream also add antioxidants and a hint of bitterness that complements the sweeter, slightly nutty flavor.

Raw cacao powder can be a little intense if you have never had it before. There is, however, enough agave nectar in this chocolate ice cream and it brings enough sweetness to the party. Before you pour the blended mixture into the churner, taste and see if it is sweet enough for your liking. You can always add another squeeze of agave if necessary.

“If you like piña coladas
And gettin’ caught in the rain.
If you’re not into yoga
If you have half a brain…”

If you want to escape and get lost in that song about drinking piña coladas, then you are going to love this recipe. The overly sweet, rum-filled beverage takes a healthy turn, leaving syrup, canned juice, and alcohol behind. For this recipe, you only require two ingredients: pineapple and coconut milk. These pineapple coconut popsicles just feel right to eat now that the sun is shining a lot more! We don’t know how you feel about store bought popsicles, but you can feel good about giving your kids these homemade ones.

The cheap popsicles contain artificial food dyes, added sugars, and “natural” flavors that aren’t so natural. Even the more expensive varieties can contain a decent amount of added sugars. Why worry about ingredients when it is very inexpensive to make your own popsicles at home. There are silicone molds with reusable plastic handles readily available, so you can make them regularly. Plus, if you get those, then you don’t have to get popsicle sticks.

You cannot beat the freshness that you get from these pineapple coconut popsicles. The coconut milk gives them a creamy texture, and it also is a perfect match for the fresh pineapple. You can cube your pineapple and freeze it overnight, or you can blend fresh cubes with the coconut milk. If you use frozen pineapple chunks, the time it takes for the popsicles to solidify in the freezer is less than if you use fresh pineapple. Consider which route you want to take, but there is one important step you cannot avoid: enjoying these tasty vegan desserts!

Are you ready to indulge in a creamy, green tea-infused homemade matcha ice cream? Made with creamy, ripe bananas, matcha, and coconut milk, this vegan ice cream will level up your dessert game.

After enjoying the first couple bites, you may feel as though you are at peace in a tranquil Japanese garden. The subtle bitterness of matcha powder is perfectly balanced by the natural sugars in the bananas. Just make sure that the bananas are relatively ripe. You don’t want green bananas giving your ice cream a bitter taste. The coconut milk adds a luxurious, creamy element, reminiscent of the tropics.

One thing that we want you to do is savor each bite. Notice how the flavors blend together harmoniously. The matcha exhibits bright, grassy notes that mingle with the subtle sweetness of the bananas, while the coconut milk provides a silky smoothness.

Fancy a tea or coffee that’s sweetened with homemade condensed oat milk? You are in luck because this recipe requires three ingredients and 15 minutes of your time. The condensed oat milk is sweet, thick, rich, and perfect for any tea, coffee, milkshake, or creamy beverage. You can also use it in myriad dairy-free or vegan baking applications. Drizzle it over scones, cakes, biscotti, and more!

There are not too many (if any) non-dairy condensed milk options available for purchase. Commercially available condensed oat milks are very rare, but you can sometimes have luck with condensed coconut milk. Because they are not easy to find, we wanted to provide you with an easy homemade option. All you need is the ingredients, a blender, a saucepan, and some of your precious, valuable time.

After you blend the ingredients, strain the blended mixture through a nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or fine mesh sieve. Pour that strained liquid into a saucepan and heat slowly while whisking frequently. This step is very important because you want the mixture to thicken evenly. The frequent whisking and heat will thicken the liquid, but be mindful that this can take three to five minutes. Just be patient and remove the saucepan from the stove once it reaches your desired consistency.

It is a gift to be able to make your own nut milk because you know exactly which ingredients go into it. Besides the fact that they do not contain any emulsifiers, thickening agents, or added sugars, homemade nut milks simply taste better than anything store bought. They taste fresher and are usually creamier. Because they are homemade and do not contain preservatives, they have a much shorter shelf life. Homemade nut milk, such as this strawberry cashew milk, has a shelf life of about three days, so be sure to drink it all up.

Carrageenan is probably the most common ingredient that you’ll see in a store bought nut milk. It’s a potentially carcinogenic ingredient that you should avoid if you can. Even “clean” nut milk companies will uses ingredients like carrageenan, which doesn’t instill confidence in buyers. A great nut milk should consist of a few ingredients: nuts, water, and a sweetener, such as raw agave nectar, grade A maple syrup, or dates.

For this homemade strawberry cashew milk, there is no sweetener; rather, the strawberries serve as the sweetening component. Choose your strawberries right and you’ll have a perfectly balanced sweet and slightly tart flavor. Now, you can make this strawberry cashew milk in one of two ways. Either you add all of the ingredients to a blender and then strain through a mesh sieve or nut milk bag, or you juice the strawberries and then mix that juice with the strained cashew milk. Choose your destiny and let us know how you like it!
