Gluten Free S’mores Rice Krispies Treats
We absolutely love this spin on rice krispy treats and s’mores! These rice krispies are made with the basics for s’mores, like graham crackers and chocolate, with bonus pieces of Coffee Maple Cacao LivBar throughout. It’s a fun treat that’s full of all of the best elements of a good dessert. Chewy, crispy bites of rice krispies work well with chunks of chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.
Dairy Free Banana Split
When was the last time you enjoyed a banana split? The childhood classic is popular for good reason: A base of fresh fruit, plus refreshing vanilla ice cream and crunchy toppings?! Sign us up! That’s why we whipped up these dairy free banana splits with tasty toppings. Crumbled Blueberry Vanilla Kale LivBar is the perfect element of crunch against soft banana and ice cream. Then, more crunch comes from pecans, and a sweetness factor from honey and maraschino cherries. You can add whatever toppings you want, though!
The Best Raspberry Vinaigrette
If you’ve never tried a sweet-and-tart salad dressing, this raspberry vinaigrette is a great place to start! It's slightly sweet from fresh raspberries and honey and a touch tart from the zest and juice of lemons. The vinaigrette is practically destined to drizzle atop a bed of mixed greens, but can be used in many other ways too. Get creative! There are several different uses for salad dressings, like as a dip for raw cut vegetables or to marinate protein before cooking.
Maple Coffee Cacao Chia Seed Pudding
Coffee and chocolate are just about the perfect pair. But why not sweeten things up a bit with the addition of pure maple syrup? That’s why the Coffee Maple Cacao LivBars taste so good! Maple syrup adds another layer of flavor and sweetness to these Maple Mocha Chia Pudding cups, rounding the other ingredients out for a tasty treat. Chia pudding is an easy-to-make blend of chia seeds and liquid, such as almond milk, that’s perfect for breakfast or a snack. The chia seeds form a thick, creamy texture and provide healthy nutrients.
Gluten-Free Mixed Berry Mini Trifles
In honor of Independence Day, we thought these mini trifles were the perfect little dessert! The Fourth of July is a great time to make fun themed treats and enjoy them with friends, family, and kids. And this dish reps the colors of the flag without unnecessary artificial colors or add-ins. White cake, whipped cream, and blue and red berries are all that’s needed to make a color-coded dessert. And bonus: You can use fresh, local berries in the Pacific Northwest since summer is berry season!
Cherry Sorbet with Dairy Free Lemongrass Whipped Cream
Have you ever made your own homemade fruit sorbet? It’s surprisingly easy and the fresh taste is worth it. Plus, it’s naturally dairy free and gluten free! This Cherry Sorbet and Lemongrass Whipped Cream came together in just over an hour and is as refreshing as can be. In the midst of a truly hot summer, it’s a privilege to enjoy! The cherry sorbet is cool, fresh, tart, and almost tastes straight from the tropics. This is also thanks to a blend of coconut cream, lemongrass paste, and maple syrup for sweetness— It’s all simply whipped into a smooth whipped cream to serve on top.
Gluten Free Coconut Crepes
These coconut crepes are everything you want in a sweet breakfast! Silky dairy free whipped cream is piled atop your favorite crepes— We used Josie’s Best gluten free crepe mix. Then, it’s sprinkled with toasted coconut and LivBar and a splash of maple syrup. It’s the perfect balance of sweetness and contrasting textures from the toppings.
Dairy Free Vanilla Milkshake
Milkshakes are so easy to make! We love the creamy sweetness and ice cold texture on a warm day. And what better way to celebrate National Vanilla Milkshake Day on June 20 than with this vegan version of the sweet treat? With just three ingredients to start, it’s quick to whip up in a blender and enjoy for the holiday. A crumble of the Blueberry Vanilla Kale LivBar on top ties in with the vanilla bean flavor of the ice cream and lends a nice bite to the vanilla milkshake.
Gluten Free Mini Rhubarb Raspberry Crisp
Crumbly, gooey, sweet, and delicious: Who doesn't love a good crisp? The classic dessert is one of our favorites to whip up in a snap thanks to its crumbly topping made with LivBar! A Raspberry Kale Maca LivBar is easily crumbled and incorporated into the crisp alongside almond flour and oat flour. The slight crunch in each bite is just right on top of a sweet-and-tart rhubarb raspberry filling: And the raspberry flavor comes through strong throughout.
Vegan Raw Lemon Cheesecake Bars
Refreshingly sweet and a bit tart, these vegan lemon cheesecake bars are the perfect treat for summer! Can you tell we love vegan cheesecake?! These cheesecake bars are quick to whip up and throw in the freezer. A blend of oats, dates, cashews, and crumbled Ginger Lemon Turmeric LivBar makes up the crust.
