Cauliflower Ice Cream - it's trendy and it's worth sticking around for!

I mean, let’s be real… what can’t cauliflower do at this point? And just like this unassuming vegetable, I want you to remember - you can be anything you want to be.

You’ve seen cauliflower become pizza, nachos, rice… and we’re transforming it today into ice cream 🍨 And let me be clear - if you want real ice cream, you should eat real ice cream! Depriving yourself of the foods you love won’t makeover your mindset; it will just make you miserable. But this recipe IS a fun way to transform a vegetable into a tasty snack, especially if you need to get some extra veggies into the family.

So, will they be able to guess that their dessert is actually made from riced cauliflower?! Let’s find out 🤣

Ingredients

- 2 cups riced cauliflower
- 1 cup dry-roasted cashews, soaked
- ½ cup canned coconut milk
- ¼ cup + 1 tsp pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup unsweetened coconut milk beverage
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp melted coconut oil
- 2 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp sea salt

Instructions

1. To soak cashews, cover with room temperature water + soak overnight, or cover with boiling water and soak for at least 2 hours. Drain and rinse.

2. Place a pot with water over high heat. Boil cauliflower for 5 minutes; strain through a fine mesh strainer and then rinse with cold water until cool enough to handle. Wring out the excess water using a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel.

3. Place the cauliflower, soaked cashews, coconut milk, maple syrup, coconut milk beverage, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt in a blender. Cover and blend until smooth.

4. Pour the cauliflower mixture into an airtight container and freeze for 4 hours or until solid. Remove from the freezer 20-30 minutes before serving to let soften before scooping.

5. Store frozen in an airtight container for up to 5 days. If you have an ice cream machine, you can place the mixture in and freeze on a soft-serve setting.

This recipe makes 8 servings (½ cup each).

Chocolate Mousse

“Calories don’t do something to me. They are the energy to do something for me.”

How crazy is it that diet culture has us fearing calories, when in reality, calories are the energy we need to live this wild, amazing, beautiful life?! Calories are what help you focus at work, carry your body through a yoga flow, take care of your kids, have a conversation with your best friend, push hard through a workout. 

So, as you sit down to eat (maybe this Chocolate Mousse 😍)... thank the calories you’re putting into your body for everything they support you in doing!

Ingredients

- 4 oz soft tofu

- 1 scoop Chocolate Shakeology

- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk

- 1 tbsp all-natural nut butter (almond, peanut, cashew)

- 1 medium strawberry, sliced (for garnish, optional)

Avocado Brownies

3 Ways to Eat Like You Love Yourself

❤️ Have fun + be creative - from meal planning to grocery shopping to cooking… have fun with your food! For example, you can take out a new cookbook from the library, hit up the farmer’s market, or cook a beautiful breakfast for your family!

❤️ Take time to enjoy your food - put down the cell phone + turn off the TV, friends! When you focus entirely on what you’re doing (in this case, eating), your body will be more in tune with what you’re eating... and when you are full. 

❤️ Be mindful - don’t overcrowd your kitchen… not with chocolate bars + chips nor broccoli + salads either! Instead, take time each week to plan + prep. That way, you don’t feel bad having to throw out perfectly good food because it’s gone bad before you can eat it (I’ve been there) or force yourself to eat something that doesn’t feel good to you.

I’ve got one more delicious recipe for you this month, so let me know if you try these Avocado Brownies (and see if your fam can guess the secret ingredient!)

Ingredients

- ½ cup gluten-free, all-purpose flour

- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

- 1 tbsp extra-virgin coconut oil

- 1 cup mashed avocado

- ½ cup + 2 tbsp pure maple syrup

- 2 large eggs

- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

- 1 dash sea salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a 9x12 baking dish with parchment paper, with paper coming up the sides of the dish. Coat with cooking spray + set aside.

2. Whisk together flour + cocoa powder in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.

3. Place a double boiler over low heat with water 1-inch deep in the bottom. Add the chocolate and coconut oil to the top of the double boiler and stir occasionally until melted. Set aside.

4. Place the avocado, maple syrup, eggs, extract, and salt in the blender; cover and blend until smooth. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl.

5. Stir melted chocolate into avocado mixture. Fold in flour mixture, adding ⅓ of the mixture at a time, until fully combined.

6. Spread mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until firm on top. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking dish.

Cut into 12 pieces and serve right away or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days!

You are not on a diet… and so, it’s time to say peace out to that diet culture mentality ✌️
