Whole Food of the Month
Written by: Heather Crosby
Contributor Kathy Beymer (also from Merriment Design) and I came up with this recipe together the other night. We wanted a treat without too much time investment and chia puddings are such a delicious, nutrient-rich treat that can be whipped up in 10-15 minutes. I didn’t have raspberries to make my Cardamom Cream Pudding and Kathy was craving chocolate so I thought we could make a remix of my Raw Cacao Avocado Pudding, adding some Mexican spices for a fancy Whole Food of the Month version. We were successful! Feel free to leave out the cinnamon and cayenne if you want a simple chocolate version, or leave out the cinnamon and cayenne and add 1 tsp peppermint extract for a chocolate mint version. Top with bananas or shaved chocolate. And yes, you can have this for breakfast. Yum. Read more…

I think that if you love someone, whether it’s a family member, a friend, or your sweetheart, you should serve them healthy treats for Valentine’s Day. Nothing says “I care” like recipes that promote a long, vibrant life. This delicious Whole Food of the Month recipe takes no time at all to make (love that), but thanks to the exotic flavor of cardamom and the almost heart-shaped and juicy red raspberries, your recipients will be feeling well taken care of this Valentine’s Day.

I read about this snack in Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s Eat to Live and have been making versions of it ever since. It’s genius really. Quick, easy and satisfying. Sometimes in the morning, when I know I’ll be away from home until the afternoon, I’ll roll a bunch of these babies up, put them in a bag and bring them with me, so if hungers hits, I’m prepared. I’ve also enjoyed these for breakfast and as a dessert, too. Read more…

This past weekend, YU Contributor Maya Henderson and I took out my newly rehabbed 1968 Shasta Loflyte Trailer for a quick Glamping (oh yes, glamorous luxury camping) trip to Kettle Moraine State Forest in Wisconsin. I prepared a ton of tasty YumUniverse recipes for our adventure and one of them is a new favorite, Almond Crunch Kale Chips. I thought I’d share that recipe and our overall menu with YU. Don’t be surprised what foods make easy, healthy camping eats. It just takes a little bit of prep. Read more…

Tracy Russell, from Incredible Self, not only sent in an easy, summery, party-appropriate Raw Rice Pilaf recipe for the YumUniverse 1st Birthday Recipe Contest, but she sent us this Tropical Layered Strawberry Mango Fusion Smoothie, too. I thought I should share this one with YU—it’s pretty tasty.

In my desperate attempt to hold onto the last bit of summer, I thought I’d post this incredible recipe that Complicatarian entered the YumUniverse 1st Birthday Recipe Contest last month. This recipe was one that almost made it in the Top 5—we all agreed that it rocked—but we ultimately ended up picking their Basil Coconut & Lime Pops as a finalist. Be sure to give this festive, fresh recipe a try! Read more…
