Coconut-Crusted Cacao Nibs
When I first sampled these culinary coconut cacao nibs by Mum’s Original in Meghan Telpner’s kitchen, I immediately fell in love. It doesn’t get much better than chocolate dipped in coconut sugar. And the best part? Raw cacao nibs are teeming with antioxidants and valuable minerals like magnesium and iron, so they’re a health-promoting treat [...]
Spicy Red Pepper Kale Chips
This recipe makes a lot more chips than the meagre amount you see in the picture. Unfortunately, I ate almost the entire batch before realizing I hadn’t snapped any photos of them. At least that’s an indication of how good they are, right? It’s intensely satisfying to gobble an enormous bowl of chips and know [...]
Banana Chips
For many years, banana chips have been off my radar. Then, during a trip to Trader Joe’s a few months ago, I picked up a bag on a whim and my love for banana chips was reignited. Store-bought banana chips, even the organic ones, are typically fried in coconut oil and contain added sugars. I [...]
Buckwheat Granola Bars
Most granola bar recipes contain oats. You probably already have a few recipes that use them, so I thought I’d experiment with something a little different. Enter buckwheat. It works perfectly in these granola bars, plus it’s a great source of fibre, which is great for our digestive tracts, cholesterol levels and blood sugar balance. [...]
Revamped Sesame Snack Bars, Two Ways
When I baked these granola bars last winter, I thought they were divine. No improvement needed. Then, given how much I enjoyed them, I became determined to recreate a scaled-down version that was equally delicious. What I came up with was not one, but two, incredible five-ingredient options that you can choose from, depending on [...]
Dill Pickle Kale Chips
Kale is all the rage these days. In case you haven’t heard, it’s the new beef. I’ve been seeing fancy, delicate bags of flavoured kale chips cropping up in grocery stores all over town. Now, I’m usually not one to deprive health-minded companies of business, especially when they’re trying to provide a wholesome snack that [...]
Crispy, Crunchy Curried Lentils
In the last few months, I’ve made my crunchy roasted chickpeas time and time again. Then I wondered: could I create the same effect with other beans? The answer? Heck yeah! These roasted lentils are perfect for snacking. You’ll keep reaching for more, and you should – because they’re full of fibre and a great [...]
Chocolate Protein Cookies
I’ll admit I was not crazy about these cookies at first. I don’t like protein powders and though I used one that was mild and neutral, the flavour still seemed a bit overwhelming. Slowly but surely, I grew to appreciate these little dense, satisfying nuggets with their delightful pops of chocolatey sweetness. They make the [...]
Coconut Hemp Seed Bites
This isn’t the fanciest snack on the block. It doesn’t have many bells or whistles, but it’s sturdy, reliable and gets you where you need to go. Kinda like that hand-me-down bike you were embarrassed to ride when you were nine, or your dad’s borrowed old station wagon you wished was a flashy sports car. [...]
