Pineapple Aloe Juice

This drink is only 4 ingredients that taste equally delicious as they are beneficial. When the juice is first blended, all of the components will be closer to a smoothie consistency. If the beverage sits for longer than a few minutes, it will separate as pictured above. Cardamom can be replaced by cinnamon or whatever […]

Golden Milk

So, I’m going to be entirely forthcoming, and inform all of you that this delectable-as-it-is-beneficial cocktail is not my creation. Of course I put my own little twist on it, but I have to give credit where it’s due– which is half way around the world, about 4,000 years ago, from a little plant called […]

Mexican Stuffed Peppers (GF, Vegan)

Stuffed peppers are a classic, traditionally filled with ground meat, rice, tomato sauce, and baked with a layer of cheese, and yes, I’m aware of how delicious that can be. However, the reinvented version I’m featuring is loaded with far more bioavailable nutrients, with the same amount of protein, and significantly less unhealthy fats. If […]

SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP PASTA BAKE (GF, VEGAN)

Ok, so, I admittedly went a little crazy with two back to back vegan cheese based recipes, but I’m not sorry. Cashew cheese is a much more responsible option compared to antibiotic and hormone laden dairy that can wreak havoc on several metabolic functions. Feeling bloated, gassy or plain old nauseous after indulging in this […]

COBB CUPS

It’s been quite some time since I produced a recipe that had meat or dairy in it, but I felt like my vegan streak had a good run. This little creation was invented last summer when I was experimenting with my favorite bacon alternative: duck bacon. Duck bacon is a much safer option to consuming […]

BBQ JACKFRUIT TACOS

We should probably start with what jackfruit is, and then conclude with what you can supplement it with. Jackfruit is the largest tree fruit which is widely common in South/South East Asia. It’s an incredibly large, green, spiny fruit which isn’t all that easy to come by due to it’s origin. I was fortunate enough […]

ALL VEGGIE LASAGNA (VEGAN)

One of the most challenging aspects of eating clean is missing the foods that we would once indulge on. Every time I recreate an old classic, I try my very best to add in as many comparable layers of texture and flavor that I can. In the past I have created a veggie lasagna, but […]

BUDDHA BOWL (VEGAN)

I’m fairly certain that “Buddha Bowls” are just a generic interpretation of a healthy “anything goes” dish. I’ve seen them pop up all over NYC with varying bases, such as: quinoa, brown rice and mixed greens. Buddha bowls are intended to be a convenient, easy, nutrient dense meal option for almost any time of the […]

BEET AND BASIL BURGER

It’s the summer and it’s BBQ season, which seems pretty ironic to me. Who decided that grilling fatty meats would occur during the one time of year when we wear bathing suits? Roasting heavy foods over an open flame while it’s already blistering outside seems a little absurd to me. To each their own though, […]
