Your taste buds may try to tell you otherwise, but this dressing really is 100% plant-based and raw, and not the traditional version of caesar dressing. The creaminess comes from the blended raw nuts and the kelp granules give it the sea life flavor. Our personal favorite way of using it is gently massaged into kale leaves then topped with avocado, radish, and red onion — talk about a plant-powered, nutrient-dense meal!

This basic sauce combines the freshness of raw tomatoes, bell peppers, and herbs, as well as a touch of date paste for sweetness. Make it when tomatoes are in season and at their peak of ripeness and ladle it over spiralized zucchini for a meal that will keep you feeling light and well-loved.

Tired of the usual hummus for dipping? Try this sprightly carrot spread! Want to make it go even further? Thin it out with a bit of water to create a salad dressing. No matter how you enjoy it, you’re getting a healthy dose of carotenoids and fiber with each bite.

The garlic sauce for this grain bowl is super creamy and it makes quite a bit so if you like your bowls super saucy then you’ll have plenty. If you prefer your bowls on the drier side, then save some sauce for later in the week. This bowl has all of the elements of a healthy meal — fiber, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and the perfect balance of plant-based fat, protein, and carbohydrate to keep you satisfied and nourished.

Creamy with a little tang and a bit of spice (only if you’d like) makes this cream perfect for topping on tacos, grain bowls, steamed veggies, and more!

This walnut parmesan cheese is made with walnuts and sunflower seeds, both of which are packed with healthy fats, vitamin E, and magnesium, as well as plant-based protein. Nutritional yeast gives it a “cheesy” flavor the nuts and seeds give it the moist parmesan texture. Sprinkle it on soups, salads, veggies, pasta, and grain bowls.

This homemade strawberry chia spread will satisfy your tastebuds with the natural sweetness of strawberries and satisfy your brain with its high omega-3 content. Chia seeds are one of the best known plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids, giving you your daily dose in just two tablespoons. This tasty spread can be used wherever you normally use jam or preserves.

How did you make that? How did you get it to taste like real deviled eggs? Is that magic? These are just a few of the questions you’ll hear from friends and family. Unlike traditional deviled eggs that use the egg yolk, which contains cholesterol and saturated fat, these are made with organic tofu, which doesn’t have either. Don’t forget to hide a few away in the fridge for yourself so they don’t all disappear!

The beauty of Herbed Cashew Cheese is that you can use whichever herbs you have on hand or prefer to use based on your flavor preferences. A few delicious and nutrition combinations include parsley and oregano, rosemary and thyme or cilantro and dill. You could also split the cashew cream base in half and create two different herbed cheeses — just for fun!
