Pumpkin spice season is upon us! If you adore this flavor combination like I do, you’re going to love my pumpkin spice quinoa. This wholesome breakfast will satisfy your pumpkin spice cravings so you can resist the temptation of a sugar- and chemical-laden latte.
Dairy-free twice-baked potatoes? Yep, it’s possible. Hummus generates the creaminess and tang typically provided by sour cream. Whether you’re participating in the Daniel Fast or avoiding dairy for other reasons, the absence of butter and cheddar cheese equates to a much healthier spud. Add a side salad and you’ve got lunch!
Who knew you could make a creamy, delicious risotto without butter or Parmesan? Not only is this recipe dairy free, it’s also made with whole grain brown rice, which is gluten free, heart healthy and rich in antioxidants. Among other health benefits, brown rice aids digestion, lowers cholesterol and reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes.
By now we’ve all heard how terrible McDonald’s Shamrock Shakes are for you. They’re loaded with fat, calories, sugar and artificial ingredients. I’ll spare you the disturbing details since they are exactly what we’ve come to expect from America’s top fast food chain.
If you’re a fan of the Shamrock Shake, but you’re participating in the Daniel Fast — or maybe you’re just trying to watch what you eat — I’ve got a tasty alternative for you. My dairy free version starts with a base of coconut milk, and it’s sweetened with dates. Most of the flavor is derived from extracts, and the green hue comes from a handful of spinach.
If you need a hot breakfast on a cold morning, but don’t have time to cook, I’ve got just the thing. This easy apple cinnamon oatmeal takes less than three minutes from start to finish, and it will leave you feeling warm and satisfied.
