These are DIVINE! I love anything chocolate, mint and coconuty so this is the perfect snack for me! YUM! They were incredibly fast to throw together and were ready and set super fast in the fridge. I was surprised… normally it takes at least a half hour to an hour for my desserts to set and this one was ready so fast! I would suggest doubling this recipe if you want them to last at all 🙂
If you are not into mint, I would recommend leaving the peppermint oil out and making them chocolate coconut cookies. I am sure that would be deelish as well!
YUM!! Such chocolate goodness!
Cookie batter is always so good, but now that I know how good this was Done, I was happy I waited 🙂
Spoonfuls, ready to start setting
So easy to peel these off and munch!!!
ENJOY 🙂

More Apple Cookies 🙂 I am on a kick here. These were great! They had a bunch of ingredients and made a little more than I wanted, but since when do I complain about too much of a good thing?!?! It was a little hard to work with all these ingredients in the food processor. I would suggest processing all the dry ingredients and then pouring that mixture into a large bowl. Then adding the wet ingredients to the processor and then combining dy and wet together…that would simplify matters. But either way I am sure you would be happy with the results. These are good!

Transfer batter to a large bowl and mix in the oat flakes by hand.

Ahhh Fall we meet again 🙂 When I think of fall, I think of fresh and crisp apples. There are so many varieties and so many flavors! Love them! Such a great snack, but also so fun to cook with of course.
This was something I was able to just throw together to have healthy and quick snack bites in the house. They turned out deelish! They are super light and slightly chewy inside. So perfect for a great, sweet, apply bite.
Apple Cookies
3 apples, cored
1 cup walnuts
1/4 cup raw honey or agave
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 cup dried coconut
Blend/Process everything till combined. Either form into balls with your hands or use an ice cream scoop to drop cookies directly onto teflex sheet. I love using an ice cream scoop for raw and non-raw cookies alike. They make everything uniform and are so super easy to use. Dehydrate cookies for about 10-12 hours until solid on the outside but still chewy inside. ENJOY 🙂

Another breakfast treat 🙂 I had to call this munchy cereal because if you are like me you will have a hard time leaving this one just for breakfast. It is so good!!! It is also deelish without the dehydrator as well. I am sure you good sprinkle this on top of yogurt for a great treat or eat it plain with almond milk or just munch on it on its own. This is such a great combo of sweet, salty, crunchy and chewy! mmmmm

I doubled this recipe and I am so glad I did 🙂 It was deeelish! Super chocolatey and smooth pudding. MMMM! 2 young thai coconuts gave me about 2 cups of coconut meat. This is one of those raw dishes that anyone would love (except if they did not like chocolate!). This also left me with delicious coconut water leftovers that we happily used in our smoothies. So refreshing and good!

It was our 1st anniversary this weekend (yeah!!!!) and I thought what better way to start it off then with some delicious and decadent crepes! mmmmm! These were amazing! They were also pretty light as we were not weighed down by sugar, flour, heavy cream etc. The crepes had the texture of banana fruit roll-ups and went so perfectly with the cream and the berries! There was only enough cream for 6 of the crepes, but 3 each was more than enough. They were so good! They were also quite simple. You have to plan ahead with the crepes and soaking the cashews but they are both so quick and easy it was no trouble at all 🙂 and soooo worth it!

I am always experimenting on myself by changing up my eating. Starting this week I have incorporated breakfast instead of just my juice. I am still drinking my juice, but having a solid breakfast first. I have already started to notice changes so I think this was a great decision for me. For this first week I decided to make Kristen’s Chia Pudding- I have wanted to make this for a while. As you know I love all things chia so I thought this would be the perfect go-to breakfast of choice. The best part is you can make a big bunch and it stays fresh in the fridge for 5 days or so. I doubled the recipe so that it would last me the whole week and it did 🙂 I over did it on the spices, so just have a lighter hand than me when you get to that part. Other than that this was deelish and a welcome change to my morning routine.
perfect little breakfast portions
Holiday Chia Pudding
By Kristen Suzanne
Yield 1 1/4 cups
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup dried coconut, shredded & unsweetened
1 cup water
1/4 cup raw cashews (soaked 1 hour, drained and rinsed)
4 soft medjool dates, pitted
2 cloves
1 teaspoon lucuma powder
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Place the chia seeds and coconut in a small bowl, briefly stir to mix, and set aside. Blend the remaining ingredients until smooth. Pour the blended cashew mixture into the bowl with the chia seeds and coconut and stir. Wait a few minutes and stir again. Wait a few minutes, again, and stir. Do the “wait and stir” once more, and then place the Holiday Chia Pudding in the refrigerator for about 15 – 20 minutes (or longer, if desired). I normally leave them in overnight. Then, enjoy.

I love all things Chia these days. I just cannot get enough of it. It is so delicious and nutritious, I feel amazing eating it. Plus the fact that is sublimely deelish doesn’t hurt either 😉 Here is a great recipe for another Chia Pudding, this one with the beloved young coconut. It is not the prettiest of puddings but it is really tasty. To see my original Chia Pudding click here. To see why Chia is so fabulous for you click here.
