Peanut Butter & Jelly Chocolate Cups

March 31, 2020 by livesimplyhealthy 3 Comments

Peanut Butter & Jelly Chocolate Cups!

These Peanut Butter & Jelly Chocolate Cups are the perfect sweet treat. The classic peanut butter & jelly combo is combined with a rich dark chocolatey coating. The coconut oil based chocolate coating is smooth and rich paired with creamy peanut butter and a slightly sweet homemade raspberry chia jam. I created these cups in mini form so that when you bite into them, you end up with the perfect bite of peanut butter and jelly oozing out of the chocolate shell.

This sweet treat is vegan, refined sugar-free, and gluten-free. They are lightly sweetened with natural maple syrup. I like to enjoy one or two of these after dinner. They are so satisfying and perfect as a post meal treat.

Vegan Cashew Rice Bowl

March 25, 2020 by livesimplyhealthy 3 Comments

Vegan Cashew Rice Bowl!

Rice bowls are a simple and easy dinner idea packed with fresh veggies and nutrients. These Vegan Cashew Rice Bowls are nutrient dense and filling. Rice, cabbage, broccoli, and carrots are tossed in a creamy asian-style tahini dressing and topped with toasted cashews.

These bowls are a great balance of veggies, protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Plant-based protein comes from a combination of the cashews and tahini. Grilled tofu would also be a great addition here. Healthy fat is found in the olive oil, tahini, coconut milk, as well as the cashews and tahini. The rice and vegetables provide complex carbohydrates and a great source of energy.

Feel free to customize these bowls and add in whatever veggies you have! Tag me on Instagram @livesimplyhealthy with your creations and follow along for more healthy recipe ideas and nutrition tips!

Vegan West African Peanut Stew

March 10, 2020 by livesimplyhealthy 11 Comments

Vegan West African Peanut Stew!

This Vegan West African Peanut Stew is so hearty and flavourful. It has quickly become one of my favourite meals. I based this recipe off of the classic flavours found in West African Peanut Stew, and used all wholesome plant-based ingredients.

This stew is a perfect balanced meal. The sweet potato and rice adds a good source of carbohydrates, while the peanuts and peanut butter add both healthy fats and plant-based protein. Your choice of kale, collard greens, or swiss chard adds a healthy serving of greens. The melted peanut butter adds the perfect creamy texture to this flavourful dish.

Vegan Homemade Hamburger Helper

March 2, 2020 by livesimplyhealthy 2 Comments

Vegan Homemade Hamburger Helper!

Hamburger Helper was a staple for many of us growing up. This Vegan Homemade Hamburger Helper is a healthier take on the classic version. It’s vegan and gluten-free, and made with real wholesome ingredients.

This meal is an ultimate comfort food dish turned healthy. The ‘hamburger’ is made from a mushroom walnut combination instead of a processed vegan meat alternative. The ‘cheese sauce’ is made with carrots, potatoes, and nutritional yeast. I served this meal over brown rice noodles for a gluten-free alternative, but you can use your favourite noodles.

I topped this pasta dish with basil and diced tomatoes for an added fresh flavour. You can serve this plain or top it with your own favourite toppings. Be sure to tag me on Instagram so I can see all your creations! Follow me @livesimplyhealthy for more healthy recipes and nutrition tips!

Mini Chocolate Peanut Butter Pies

February 2, 2020 by livesimplyhealthy 2 Comments

Mini Chocolate Peanut Butter Pies

These Mini Chocolate Peanut Butter Pies are rich and indulgent. A thick peanut butter cream filling is layered into a chewy chocolate pie crust and drizzled with melted chocolate and peanut butter drizzle.

This recipe is a healthier version of peanut butter pie turned vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free. I have used whole food ingredients to create an indulgent recipe that is nourishing and satisfying. The combination of healthy fats from the coconut cream, coconut oil, and peanut butter, along with protein in the peanut butter and pecans makes this dessert macronutrient balanced and filling.

These are best stored in the freezer and thawed for a few minutes at room temperature or in the fridge before enjoying.

Coconut cream from one 400ml can of full fall coconut milk chilled
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons maple syrup

1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
OR 2 tablespoons melted dark chocolate

Peanut Butter Drizzle:

1 1/2 tablespoons peanut butter

Instructions

To prepare the chocolate pie crust, add the pecans and dates to a blender. Blend until fully combined and fine crumbs form. Add the cocoa powder and blend or stir to combine. Press into 4 silicone muffin cups or 4 cups in a greased muffin pan. Set aside.
To prepare the peanut butter cream filling, separate the thick white coconut cream from the thin coconut milk in one 400ml can of CHILLED coconut milk. Add the coconut cream, peanut butter, vanilla, maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of the separated coconut milk to a stand mixer or large mixing bowl. Blend until everything is fully combined and the coconut cream is a whipped consistency. Evenly spoon the mixture into the prepared pie crusts. Place in the freezer to set while you prepare the chocolate and peanut butter drizzle ingredients.
To prepare the chocolate drizzle, melt 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate or mix the melted coconut oil with the maple syrup and cocoa powder. Stir until combined and set aside.

Drizzle the chocolate and peanut butter mixtures over the set peanut butter pies. Place in the freezer until fully set, at least 2 hours.
Store in the freezer and let thaw in the fridge or at room temperature before serving.

Notes

Be sure to chill your can of coconut milk at least 12 hours before preparing the peanut butter cream filling. The coconut milk must be full fat in order to separate the coconut cream. I like the Thai Kitchen brand best.

Healthier Chocolate Turtles

December 7, 2019 by livesimplyhealthy 5 Comments

Healthier Chocolate Turtles!

Chocolate Turtles were always one of my favourite treats during the Christmas season. I wanted to create a healthier version made with wholesome ingredients, that was still rich and delicious! These Healthier Chocolate Turtles are so decadent and sweet, but they’re made with whole foods. They are also vegan, refined sugar-free, and gluten-free.

The sticky sweet caramel is paired with pecans, dark chocolate, and a little touch of sea salt, making the perfect salty-sweet combo.

The base of the caramel is made with dates. Dates still contain high amounts of sugar, but they are natural sugars paired with vitamins and nutrients, as well as fibre to help fill you up. The sugar in the recipe is also accompanied with healthy fats from the coconut oil, pecans, and coconut milk, as well as some plant-based protein from the pecans. This helps slow the absorption of sugar. These Chocolate Turtles are a healthier version of the classic store-bought ones, but they still make an indulgent treat to enjoy at Christmas or any time of year.
