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!

This supercharged sweet treat will give you all the happy feels while nourishing your body with exactly what it needs to function fabulously.

Banana Walnut Bread can easily fit into several categories — breakfast, dessert, or snack. Heat a piece after dinner and enjoy it with banana nice cream for a sweet treat. Warm it in the toaster oven and spread your favorite nut butter on top for breakfast. Or, enjoy it with a cup of tea for an afternoon pick-me-up. No matter how you enjoy this bread, know that you’re getting lots of nutrient-dense ingredients through the bananas, oat flour, and walnuts.

Is it an indulgent brownie or is it a raw, whole food, nutrient-dense and naturally energizing plant-based snack? You might be asking yourself this as you bite into the square that’s about to give your body the nutrients it needs to thrive. Cacao provides a nice boost in physical and mental energy while peanut butter offers sustained energy from the protein and healthy peanut fats. Take this with you as a snack on-the-go!

If you’re a cheesecake lover, we highly recommend that you stop what you’re doing and make this cheesecake now. This nut-based, cocoa dusted cheesecake is O.M.G. delicious! Cashews create creaminess, macadamia nuts create richness and almonds create a naturally sweet flavor. Add that creamy “cheese” to a sweet and salty pecan crust and you have a recipe that will swoon even the hardest to impress cheesecake aficionados.

Something about the combination of chocolate and raspberry is divine. The slight bitterness and sweetness of the dark chocolate plus the tart fruitiness of the raspberry — these two were meant for each other! Plus, they each bring their individual nutrient profiles together to create a treat that is packed with the antioxidants that make them good for your health!

Traditional dark chocolate truffles are often made with milk or cream, but these rich and melt-in-your-mouth delicious truffles get their creaminess from healing avocado. Once the chocolate sets in the refrigerator, get ready to roll your (clean) hands in dark chocolate (the fun part!) before coating them with açaí powder for an additional antioxidant boost and pretty pink color.

Creamy, chocolatey, and luscious, yet without flour and oil — could this decadent pie be true? Yes, chocolate dreams do come true!
