Vegan BL(A)T

2018-05-27T20:25:41+00:00

Vegan BL(A)T The first time I had a vegan BLT at True Food Kitchen, I fell in love!

Double Chocolate Chip Tahini Brownies

Double Chocolate Chip Tahini Brownies Consuming cacao can lower blood pressure and cholesterol, improve control of diabetes, and function as an antioxidant. Read more on the cardiovascular benefits of cocoa. While I typically get my daily fix by sprinkling raw cacao nibs on various foods, I am always searching for interesting, healthy recipes that incorporate cocoa. I've never been much of a baker, but recently have seen some unique plant-based chocolate brownie recipes. While I wouldn't consider dessert a health food, these decadently fudgy brownies will more than satisfy your sweet tooth, and are definitely better for you than the [...]
