Warm grilled watermelon with a little lemon, salt and mint is O.M.G delicious! Add sweet pineapple to the mix and you have an appetizer that will please the entire family and wow your picnic guests. Shh...they don’t need to know that this it’s also good for them!

When you think of strawberries and cream you may think of dunking your strawberries in a creamy dip made with dairy-based cream. Instead of dunking, we blend, and instead of dairy, we use plants, in this fun and flavorful Strawberries and Cream Popsicle recipe.

Sweet and spicy lovers, this one’s for you! Naturally sweet mango combined with creamy avocado and bright lime with a dash of chipotle chili powder makes for a culinary delight that’s both cooling and warming, not to mention nutrient-filled. And, if you don’t love spice, don’t worry, these popsicles are delicious without it! Make it a three-ingredient recipe with just the mango, avocado and lime juice.

You’ve come to the right place if you’re looking for the perfect summer treat that’s refreshing and energizing! Beets provide nitrate that converts to nitric oxide in your body, a substance that dilates blood vessels and increases blood flow. Pineapple contains carotenoids, which protect the skin from the inside out. And, oranges have loads of vitamin C, an essential nutrient for skin health. Don’t be surprised if you get a natural “summer glow” after enjoying these pops! “Summer Glow Pop!”

Cooling, creamy and crunchy is what you get when you blend banana and cacao and freeze it with a sprinkle of nuts before freezing it into an oh-so-yummy popsicle! Pro tip: Make extra so you have plenty for yourself and enough to share with family and friends.

Love store-bought Orange Creamsicles, but don’t love the ingredient list? Try this whole food, simple ingredient version instead! It offers the same orange flavor and creamy mouthfeel but is actually good for you with its vitamin C and fiber content.

Slightly sweet and tart cherries blended with a creamy vanilla cashew filling inside of a buckwheat crepe is the perfect treat if you want your tummy to be satisfied and your body to be thankful. High antioxidant cherries, mineral-rich cashews and fiber-filled buckwheat make this sweet treat extra special.

What’s neat about whole plant-based foods is that they can be creatively made into just about any dessert you can imagine, having the same flavor (or better!) along with all of the nutrition. The Sweet Potato Pie Mousse is no exception. Sweet potatoes, dates, and coconut milk come together to make a lightly sweet, whipped mousse with some autumn spice that will make you, your friends, and your family swoon. Double the recipe to make a sweet potato pie filling!

Is it dessert? Or is it a snack? Can it be breakfast? It can be all of the above! Chickpeas magically create a sweet treat that can be enjoyed as dessert, or you can use the minimum amount of sugar and omit the chocolate chips to create a delicious breakfast (although we can’t blame you if you include fair trade dark chocolate chips as a part of a healthy breakfast). Any way you love it, you’re getting lots of plant-based goodness through the fiber- and protein-rich chickpeas, oats, and almond butter!

Who says pumpkin is only for the fall? Easy to make, healthy, and scrumptious... you just might find yourself making this pumpkin pudding year-round!
