Raw Carrot Cake

Inspired by my favorite healthy snack bar from the UK, Nakd’s “Cashew cookie”, I wanted to create a raw carrot cake version for Easter. Nakd bars are a raw, delicious snack and deliver energy in the form of only natural sugar. And with only a handful of ingredients, it was very easy to recreate my favorite snack bar. I, however, wanted to go one step further and create a raw carrot cake version in the form of little cakes, topped with a creamy frosting. And so my raw and vegan take on a classic dessert was born.

Carrot Hot Cross Buns

When I was in London, I saw hot cross buns in every bakery. So I did a little research and learned that they are a classic Easter treat in England, comparable to “Osterpinzen” in Austria. Apparently Hot Cross Buns are traditionally served on Good Friday. The cross on the sweet yeast buns represents the Cross of Christ. Intrigued, I tried my hands on this Easter treat but gave them my own little twist. I added finely grated carrots, orange zest and a orange-flavored icing. I also made the yeast dough dairy-free and almost vegan. Continue Reading…

Pineapple Mint Smoothie

This week I’m braving the snow with a tropical smoothie. A Pineapple Mint Smoothie with a splash of coconut water to be exact. I have been dreaming of white beaches and turquoise water as I am stomping through the snow in my Uggs. And this smoothie is just what I needed to warm my heart. Continue Reading…

Raw & Vegan Brownie Bars

Hello 2015! I’m back and wanted to start the new year with a recipe. Even if you are not into new year’s resolutions, you may have over-indulged (like myself) over the holidays. January is the month, most of us are trying to start or get back into a healthy routine. Instead of fighting my sweet cravings I prefer to indulge in a healthy way. For example, with my raw & vegan Brownie Bars.

Vegan Chocolate loaf with peanut butter swirl

One afternoon, I was seriously craving something sweet and chocolatey, not like a fudgy brownie, but lighter and fluffier. Just a light and fluffy chocolate cake that was rich enough to satisfy my cravings. Oh and I didn’t have any eggs in the fridge. Well then a vegan cake it is! :)

Got Almond Milk?

For my first post of 2014, I wanted to write about a healthy DIY to help all of us staying on track with our new year’s resolutions because haven’t we all made some health and fitness-related resolutions back in good old 2013?! ;)

I like researching how to make my own ‘food’. First of all it gives me a great deal of satisfaction knowing that I am not dependent on a supermarket, a brand or a company (yes I’m talking about you Nutella!). Most of the time it is healthier and does not contain any nasties. And in 99.9% of the cases it tastes much better than store bought!
