Delightful Gluten Free, Vegan Strawberry Shortcake (Only 9 Ingredients)

Simple, gluten free, vegan strawberry shortcake. Perfect summer dessert. Made with oat and buckwheat flour. This strawberry shortcake recipe is healthy and delicious!

Hello Lovelies:

There are few desserts that are as summery and marvelous as strawberry shortcake (or is that just me?) Honestly, when I close my eyes and think back to my childhood summers, I’m right back at my parents’ kitchen table… liking the bowl (I’ve always been a classy girl). Seriously though, you can’t let one dollop of whipped cream go to waste! You’re with me on that, right?

I haven’t had strawberry shortcake in years. And with strawberry season upon us, I decided it was high time I found a way to health it up.

I’m so excited to present you with a vegan, gluten free strawberry shortcake delight. Get ’em while they’re hot; strawberry season doesn’t last long:

Vegan Chocolate Covered Banana Pops (Only 4 Ingredients)

Delicious, vegan chocolate covered banana pops. Delightfully sweet and simple to make. Only 4 Ingredients! Treat yourself to this healthy dessert.

Hello Lovelies:

Chocolate covered banana pops are my current dessert obsession. I have a serious love affair going on with bananas. They make a daily appearance in my diet… and if I’m out all day, you can bet your bottom dollar that I have a banana or two with me. I’ve got a healthy sweet tooth to satisfy after all!

And can you really blame me? Bananas are loaded with tons of marvelous nutrients like vitamin B6, manganese, vitamin C, potassium, fiber, copper and biotin. And your gut gets some goodness too; the probiotics in bananas help to keep your gut microbiome healthy and happy.

Super bonus – they also help to support your beautiful heart, thanks to lovely potassium. Potassium helps to keep your blood pressure regulated and might even protect you from atherosclerosis (the hardening and narrowing of your arteries). Booyah!

While these gorgeous fruits are pretty fantastical all on their own, I certainly don’t see anything wrong with amping up the awesomeness by dipping them in homemade chocolate! What do you think? Wanna treat yourself to some banana pops too?

Ready to cool off and spoil your sweet tooth in a healthy way? Give these Chocolate Covered Banana Pops a try:

Hello Lovelies:

Are you as obsessed with ice cream as I am? I’m going to go ahead and bet on yes! That stuff is so well loved it probably has it’s own fan club. Which is why, when I first stepped into the healthy foodie world, I was determined to find healthy, homemade ice cream recipes. Seriously, who wants to live without it?

Sweet and Sour Miso Veggie Stir Fry

A delicious Sweet and Sour Miso Veggie Stir Fry that's not only yummy but great for your gut health. This recipe is vegan, gluten free and refined sugar free.

Hiya Lovelies:

Recently I had a revelation of sorts. I need to slow down when I’m cooking and start paying attention. Not because I’m on crazy hyperspeed, but because I’m always winging it… which makes it near impossible to share my dishes! This awesome, Sweet and Sour Miso Veggie Stir Fry is the first product of my new vow to cook more mindfully. Aren’t you proud?

I mean, seriously… there’s a severe lack of main dishes in the Health-Esteem recipe house! And you can give thanks to mindless improvisation. Which is totally fun, and I plan to continue to do… just not 100% of the time (since I love to share with you!)

So I finally slowed things down, grabbed my measuring cups and took notes! Booyah!

Get your cutting board ready and prepare for a delicious, filling, and delightfully sweet and sour stir fry. I know you’ll love it!
