Sweet Swaps
Would you rather: give up avocados or chocolate for life? Thank gawd we live in a world where both can co-exist in this mousse. Because if I had to make a choice, it would be a choice to live without the joy of guacamole and what a sad, sad world that would be. Betcha also didn’t know that avocado could also replicate the creamy texture of a chocolate mousse. Or that chia pudding can sub for the base of a dirt cake and that cashews can be cream cheese. What a wildly wonderful world we live in! For more sweet swaps and the recipes for this avocado chocolate mousse, a healthier version of dirt cake and a dairy-free cashew cheesecake, read on.

Healthyish Carrot Cake Cream Cheese
October in sight means everything orange black and white – including this carrot cake cashew cream cheese for a little Halloween tease. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays for the ridiculous amounts of candy, even more ridiculous costumes and scary movie marathons galore. And one thing that’s particularly scary – how a little hocus pocus can turn cashews into a creamy base that’s oh so much better for you than the tubs in the store. It’s also a sly way to sneak in some carrots and can be slathered on your morning bagel or used as a healthy-ish frosting for Halloween treats. Read on to get the dEATs for how magically easy it is to create this crafty concoction.

Yes and…I’ll Have Dessert
Peach nice cream AND snickerdoodle cookies? You bet your balls I’m embracing the AND. Because we are imperfect…and perfect, at exactly the same time. So yes, I eat ice cream (and sometimes nice cream), I eat burgers (and sometimes they’re veggie) and there are days where I rack up a whopping 3,000 steps (and sometimes it’s 20,000). If you want to give it a label, label it intuitive eating. If you want to give it a definition, consider it embracing your inner wisdom. And my inner wisdom is 100% accepting of sweet treats, especially when it’s hotter than you know what. So read on to learn more about embracing that inner wisdom..and to whip up the sweetest of no bake treats.
