Everybody needs adequate good fat in their diet, yet many people don’t get enough good fat, or even pay attention to the amount of fat they eat on a daily basis. While the term “fat bomb” may not be familiar to you (unless you or someone you know is doing a keto diet), homemade vegan fat bombs are a great way to help make sure that your body gets enough of the good fat that it needs for brain and organ function, vitamin and nutrient absorption, and hormone and energy production.

Did you know that you can make vegan jerky out of tofu? Even if you knew that, this vegan tofu jerky recipe is going to rock your world! It’s delicious, it’s so very good for you, and it’s so darned easy to make! If you have a dehydrator use that, but if you don’t have a dehydrator you can also use your oven. The House brand (which is the name of the brand, as compared to “house brand”, which means the store’s own brand) of tofu at Costco is great for this, and is what we use, but you can use any brand of firm, water-packed refrigerated tofu.

Whether you like traditional hummus or hummus with no tahini, this delicious, easy hummus recipe will do the trick! It’s actually a 4-in-1 recipe: hummus with tahini, hummus without tahini, hummus in the Instant Pot, hummus with canned chickpeas (garbanzos).

These little vegan bulletproof coffee protein squares are like heaven in your mouth. They are delicious, and so good for you! With coconut oil, MCT, and good vegan protein, how can you go wrong? They are the perfect little pick-me-up for that mid-afternoon slump or, really, any time! Not only that, but they are so easy to make!

We call these protein candy squares, because they are delicious little squares of high protein delight. The keto crowd would call them ‘fat bombs’, but they are much lower calorie, and higher protein, than typical fat bombs. Best of all, they are gluten-free, vegan, very easy to make, and economical, because all of the ingredients are from Costco! (Although of course you don’t have to get the ingredients from Costco!)

This is the story of how I ended up in the hospital just before Christmas, unconscious for no apparent reason, unable to even string words together, and the protein bar that helped me recover.

As you can probably tell, we are huge fans of muffins. After we began to pursue a vegan, gluten-free diet, we were saddened to discover that most coffee shops and stores only sold pastries filled with dairy, gluten, and/or eggs.

A chocolate hummus recipe may sound weird, but as our chocolate hummus ingredients show, it really is just a healthful chocolate dip!

These homemade gluten-free vegan protein bars can be made with no powder (protein powder) or with powder. In fact, this protein bar recipe is so flexible that you can eat it as is, or easily customize it with add-ins; either way they are easy, use ingredients that you already have in the house with the possible exception of chickpea flour (see sources below), and they are so yummy!

These easy vegan, gluten-free crackers are also lectin-free and they are delicious! In fact, they taste a bit like copycat wheat thins!

Most of us have childhood memories of biscuits. The ones we devoured so hungrily as children tended to be packed full of butter, milk, and gluten, however.

Sometimes you’re away from home, and you need a quick, protein-packed pick-me-up. Something nourishing, maybe a bit sweet. Don’t reach for a candy or granola bar — they’re often packed with white sugar, and too often contain dairy or even gluten.
