Move over peanut butter, this heavenly blend is just as creamy and flavorful but has one leg(ume) over you — selenium! Brazil nuts are outrageously high in selenium, in fact, there’s more than 300 times the amount of selenium in one ounce of Brazil nuts compared to one ounce of peanuts. We’ve blended in some creamy cashew butter to help balance out that selenium with other essential nutrients like magnesium and zinc.

This omega-powered creamy treat contains walnuts, hemp seeds, chia seeds and flax seeds — four plant-based ingredients that provide plenty of omega-3 fatty acids as well as phytonutrients, fiber, calcium, iron and protein.

Pro-tip: Make two of these pies so there are no arguments over the dessert in your house. Pecans and dates create a perfectly crispy crust, while pears bring the ooey-gooey sweetness to the filling.

So simple, yet so decadent, apples take center stage as a warm dessert you never knew you loved … until now. The beauty of warm apples is that they can be enjoyed solo or mixed in plant-based yogurt (yum!), alongside plant-based “nice” cream, or topped with your favorite homemade granola. No matter which way you choose to enjoy them, this cozy treat will give you all the feelings from head to toe.

With a cruciferous base like cauliflower, plus more plant goodness from onions, broccoli, carrots, peas, corn, and pineapple, you kind of can’t go wrong with this nourishing and tasty side dish. It provides an abundance of fiber and phytonutrients, not to mention lots of texture and flavor. Make it a complete meal by adding some organic tofu or edamame and bean sprouts

Tempeh is one of those foods that you either shy away from because you’re not sure how to prepare it or you dive in deep because you’ve tried and love it. It’s very simple to prepare! Because it’s tightly packed soybeans, it can be tough to marinate. One trick is to boil or steam it first, which loosens the soybeans and will allow your marinade or other flavors to penetrate through. It also reduces some of the bitterness that tempeh can have when just grilled straight out of the package.

Magic happens when you cook brownies in an air fryer — they turn out perfectly crispy on the outside with a moist, dense texture on the inside. Yum! Plus, these brownies have fiber from the oat flour, antioxidants from the cacao powder, omega-3 fatty acids from the flax meal, and are oil-free!
