Summer came early with this little treat. For St.Patty’s day I made an avocado key lime “cheesecake” with an almond crust. Its completely raw/vegan/gluten-free, but not taste free! This baby is tangy and creamy, crunchy and not-too-sweet.

To celebrate this amazing beautiful awesome wonderful day, I made a sweet and refreshingly light drink that offers a healthy version of OJ.

This raw pasta is perfect for lunch, a light dinner, or anytime you crave a fresh, satisfying meal without having to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. Enjoy!

This refreshing pineapple gazpacho is perfect for a spring awakening, full of bold sweet and spicy flavours.The most important thing here is to have a very sweet and ripe pineapple and your gazpacho will be delicious. Take care not to overdo on jalapeno.

A salad like this with a ton of really gutsy flavors is perfect to pair with something more mellow like whole grains or some sprouted bread and a bean dip. Go find some fresh cilantro and make yourself a beyond exciting raw winter salad.

You can choose to either eat these fries baked, raw as they are or dehydrated. I have tried all three versions and they all turn out absolutely delicious with the creamy and dreamy coating of hemp seeds and spices. Then dip them in the herb ketchup and ridiculous mayo.. Let me just say, it’s definitely a trip to heaven (the healthy kind!)

This simply banana vanilla coconut ice cream was incredibly silky smooth and sweet with banana essence throughout. Thanks to Amy Lyons of Fragrant Vanilla Cake.

Do you have an overwhelming sense of Deja Vu? Make your own childhood favorites with this amazing oreo alternative recipe from The Sweet Life by Sarah McMinn

Because granola is a favourite among us vegans, I decided to contribute the components for a spring-inspired granola parfait—a bowl of crunchy oat granola with seeds and dried fruit; a scoop of blueberry and apple jam; and topped with a thick vanilla cream made with coconut milk and cashews. It made for a delightful end to a delicious meal.

This green juice nourishes and cleanses through a bounty of natural (albeit leftover) goodness from dear mamma Earth; green apples, lemon, ginger, cucumber, with an abundance of extra broccoli and kale stems I saved from other culinary efforts. Reduce, reuse, recycle.

Creamy, chocolaty, luscious. Yet no sugar, no flour, no oil. Yes, chocolate dreams do come true. This mousse is adaptable and can be accented with other flavors, such as orange zest (or orange oil), almond extract, or mint (leaves or extract).

Psst, these are really health. No need to tell the kids, or anyone else, for that matter; just eat them up knowing they are filled with almonds (nut-free option included) and oats, and sweetened only with dates and raisins!

Our chef Selene Vakharia really knows fresh. Enjoy the bounty of farmers markets and make yourself this easy and crisp kale salad bursting with flavor and healthy fats from the avocado and flax oil.

This is a delicious snack that utilizes avocados as "boats" to hold a refreshing and tangy salad. Nori flakes add a depth of flavor and extra nutrition. Enjoy! Thanks to our chef Priscilla Soler for this recipe.
