Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s or Galentines these no bake heart tarts are always my go-to....and I guess you didn’t even know it was vegan 🌱 ❤️ Makes ~ 8 tarts Tart Base 1 cup pitted Dates 1 cup Almonds (blanched) 1/2 Banana Coconut Whip Cream 1 1/2 cup Full Fat Organic Coconut milk (canned, should be solid when shaken not milky) 1/8 teaspoon Vanilla Extract 2 teaspoons of Stevia (or to taste) Directions for Tart Base 1. Blend the almonds in a food processor for about 10-15 seconds, doesn’t have to be smooth. We’re going for a little crunchy texture. 2. Add in the pitted dates and 1/2 banana. It helps to cut these up to speed the blending process. 3. Place the base in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up. 4. After removing from the fridge, use mini heart shape cookie cutters to cut out the base and create pockets in the center and raise the edges so it looks like a heart-shaped bowl. Place in the fridge again to firm up. Directions for Coconut Whip Cream 5. Pour out the cream from the can and throw out the liquid part that usually sits on top 6. Add the stevia and vanilla and whisk to blend ingredients together 7. Place in the fridge to firm for 1-2 hours. Then place, and decorate with fruit and coconut flakes! You can let these chill for 1-2 hours in the fridge or overnight until ready to serve. #vegan #valentines #galentines #veganvalentines #nobake #dessert #healthy #addedsugarfree #allergyfriendly #intolerantme #eeeeets #inspo #heart #love #eggfree #soyfree #dairyfree #coconut #glutenfree #quickbites #rd2be #wellness #humpday #bliss #blissnutrition

Spilling the tea on coffee...are you mindful of how you drink? Mondays are for Matcha 🍵 Although there’s nothing wrong with coffee itself, research has shown that coffee drinkers tend to add more liquid calories(300+ more) in the form of syrups, creamers & sweeteners often subconsciously to cut down that “bitter taste” as opposed to drinking tea which is naturally more sweet. Next time you pick up your cup of joe ☕️ try asking yourself if you can try swapping out the add-ins, asking for half the syrup instead of the full pump if you’re going for flavored, switch to tea 1 day out of the week instead 💁‍♀️ Changing habits take time and trying something new can take up to 7-10 exposures for it to stick, taking small steps today will lead to bigger leaps later. Try it it and tell me what happens 🤳 In good health, follow your bliss ✨ - Rakhi #allfoodsfit #smartswaps #healthyswaps #matcha #matchalatte #matchamonday #motivationmonday #greentea #specialtyteas #gogreen #healthyswaps #fitspo #inspo #iloveyousomatcha #bliss #littleblissnutrition #nutrition #antioxidants #energy #rd2be #mindfulness #mindfuleating

Weekend breakfasts mean going less for the perfectly round pancake and more for wholesome nutrition 🌱 💪: Protein-fiber (12 g 🙌 - 40%DV Fiber) pancakes served with 30 varietals of veggies, fruits, & berries 🥦🍅🍋🥕 CLIENT STORY TIME: Was on a client call a few days ago brainstorming ways for him to gain weight and also add more protein to his diet without him having to guzzle shakes and eat meat all day since he’s so busy and I said “Why don’t you add protein powder to your pancakes, save the batter in the fridge the night before and have it ready to go the next morning?” to which he replied “YOU CAN DO THAT?” 😂 Yes ABSOLUTELY! Finding ways to sneak in protein or healthy fats with a scoop of yogurt here an avocado there will help add to your bulking goals 💪 As for veggies in the morning adding in greens to your smoothies or a whole food plant capsule is another “hack” Swipe for ingredients 👉 Makes 3 medium pancakes Calories: 568 Carbs: 75 g Protein: 40 g Fat: 13 g Fiber: 12 g Vegan or egg/milk allergy? 💁‍♀️No problem, double the scoop on your vegan protein powder and add more liquid of your non-dairy milk. #healthymealplanning #healthy #glutenfree #pancakes #protein #weightgain #fiber #guthealth #allergyfriendly #intolerantme #eczemawarrior #healthyeating #quickeats #foodhack #blissnutrition #rd2be #wellnesscoach #happysunday

Enjoy your Super bowl party without the belly bloats 🏈 and little prep time because these dips are practically identical #lazycookgoals 🙌 The staples: A food processor/blender Salt & Pepper Traditionally raw artichokes and soft cheeses are not tolerable for some sensitive stomachs but according to @fodmapeveryday hard cheeses such as parmesan and marinated canned artichokes are! Give these a try: 1. ARTICHOKE DIP: Blend marinated artichoke hearts (I recommend the vacuum sealed packs or canned versions since they’re already softened) + lemon juice + garlic-infused olive oil + grated parmesan cheese with salt & pepper in food processor to taste until smooth. 2. ROASTED RED PEPPER HUMMUS: Roast red peppers in oven until soft and slightly charred. Boil chick peas or any choice of white beans. Blend all ingredients with lemon juice + garlic-infused olive oil + with salt & pepper in food processor to taste until smooth. . . . #healthymealplanning #superbowl #superbowlsnacks #superbowlsnackideas #healthy #healthysuperbowldips #mindfuleating #fitspo #lowfodmap #allergyfriendly #eczemawarrior #healthyeating #dips #dipideas #lazycook #blissnutrition #rd2be

if there’s anything I love more than gnocchi it’s cheese...the bloating was worth it immediately after 🍝 • • Happy February!

Repost from @runliftrd “Eat the rainbow.” 🌈 It’s a #nutrition cliche for sure - but that’s because it works. ⠀ .⠀ Nutrition gets complicated, and humans like things to be simple. 🤷🏻‍♀️ So we fixate on individual food items to take on the sole responsibility of keeping us healthy (celery, anyone?). ⠀ .⠀ Take vitamin C for example. It can help lessen the symptoms of a cold (there is no evidence that it can prevent a cold or cure a cold). So we make the mighty orange do all of our heavy lifting. But did you know you can get a great supply of vitamin C from a bunch of other fruits, too? And by changing things up, you’re getting a ton of other vitamins and minerals (A, B6, iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium to name a few in this picture...). Bonus: you get flavor variety!⠀ .⠀ Do me a favor, though, and chew your fruits - don’t juice them. Don’t let a blender do the work your GI tract is meant to do. 🤘🏼 Oh, and you’ll get the added benefit of tons of fiber from these fruits. Who doesn’t love fiber? 💩 ♥️ ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #runliftrd #screennutrition #allfoodsfit #healthyeating #weightlosssupport #healthyfoodinspo #eatbetternotless #healthyfood #cleaneats #weightloss #plantbased #healthyeats #plantbaseddiet #healthyweightloss #healthydiet #weightlosstips #nutritiontips #weightlossmotivation #lunchideas #healthylunch #balancednotclean #easymealprep #sundaymealprep #eathealthy #freshfruit #immunebooster #mindfuleating #functionalfoods
