Vanilla Bean Cashew Creme Pudding

by

 

I love my Vanilla Bean Cashew Creme Pudding just by itself, OR as a dip for any kind of fruit your heart desires. 🙂 I choose vanilla bean powder because it’s straight from the Earth, without any alcohol or glycerin added. It’s fresh and delicious! Vanilla Bean Powder can be found in many health food markets, or online.

Mixed Fruit Bowl with Cacao Nibs

by

This is the perfect treat on a hot summer day! Cacao nibs are bitter on their own, but the perfect combination with something sweet! Cacao is the raw version of cocoa, and is known as a superfood that can help alleviate stress, improve heart function, and help reduce cataracts. It’s also known to help alleviate depression. After all, who doesn’t feel better with chocolate?!
