These little bite-sized protein balls are not only raw and vegan, but they only take 10 minutes to make (no baking required!) and they're so tasty! I just made them for the first time a few weeks ago and I've been hooked ever since. They're a great pre-workout boost since they're loaded with protein from oats, [...]
Have you ever had chocolate peanut butter Luna bars? Well now you can make your own rice crispy protein bars at home, with only 5 ingredients!

I try to use minimal flour and minimal sugar in my recipes to create healthier versions, but I found that both recipes [...]
The cool thing about eating clean and maintaining a healthy diet is that you rarely get sick. I've read all sorts of books and articles about the power of diet, and I wholeheartedly agree. I eat a primarily plant based diet, and I can't tell you the last time I came down with an illness - even [...]
