If you love a little earthy with a bit of creamy and a touch of spice then get ready to soothe your soul while supporting your immune system. Sip on this healing tonic in the morning as a replacement for coffee or as a calming beverage before bedtime, preparing your body for deep sleep. One of our favorite ingredients, tahini, gives this Golden Milk a little extra sweetness and comfort.

Need a sneaky way to boost leafy greens intake? Make tasty spreads out of them! This spread can be used as a pesto for pizza, a dip for veggies, or add a bit of water to make it into a sauce for grain bowls. Not only is it tasty, but it’s also packed with nutrition from the cashews, spinach, herbs, and spices!

The flavor of vibrant spring pesto meets hummus — meets pizza!

Packed with antioxidant-rich blueberries and omega-3-rich hemp seeds, this smoothie will help boost your immune system, while also possibly improving cognition and preventing factors associated with heart disease. Plus, it’s simple and tastes delicious!

These black bean burgers are so delicious, simple and nutritious that you may never purchase another store-bought black bean burger again! What’s really awesome is that you can double the recipe and store the patties in the freezer so you have meals on hand for future weeks. We love to layer veggies on top to make a mile-high burger that packs a ton of fiber.

I developed this recipe over a decade ago, and to this day it is still a favorite with readers and my own family. Even if you don’t have the sniffles, this soup is altogether comforting and delicious.

Cooked sweet potato lends a little creaminess and sweetness to this hummus-like dip. The lime juice lends a fresh tang, and there’s just enough chili powder and cinnamon to give it flavor without too much kiddo-offending spice!

Spiced, baked chickpeas might be one of the best snacks of all time (there, we said it). They satisfy the desire for crunch and great flavor in a small package, plus chickpeas are packed with plant-powered protein and fiber. Eat them solo or add them to a salad as a legume “crouton.” If you like spice, these are pretty darn delicious with chipotle chili powder or red pepper flakes added in.

This sauce is so good, it’s almost drinkable (we won’t judge if you do)! Add a little more water than what’s listed in the recipe for a delicious salad dressing or leave it as is for a flavorful sauce that’s yummy on top of grain bowls, sweet potatoes or as a dip for veggies. The nutty taste of tahini combined with lemon and cumin makes for the perfect blend!

This salad couldn’t be easier! Something about the healthy fats in the avocado mixed with the earthiness of the kale, then topped with the acidic lemon makes for a perfectly flavored salad. Options for layering this salad are endless! See the chef’s notes for ideas and inspiration.
