  • CARROTS: carrots are such a go to for me. And the most amazing, crunchy sweet base for my salad. Pairs so beautiful with Asian flavors and of course it’s packed with vitamin A and essential vitamins and minerals
  • HEARTS OF PALM NOODLES: feel free to sub for vermicelli or any noodle of choice. I chose heart of palm noodles and they make this dish so light and a great option for anyone wanting to reduce the amounts of carbs. 
  • CORN KERNELS: the most amazing sweet POP! I just adore the addition of corn in here. A sweet lil surprise in every bite. 
  • CASHEW HALVES: you can absolutely sub for peanuts or even almonds. Seeds like pumpkin or sunflower could also be a great addition. They are the perfect textural crunch. 
  • RICE VINEGAR: a staple in Asian cuisine and an essential part of the delicate balance of this dressing 
  • MAPLE SYRUP: I loveee using maple syrup as a sweetener, it’s a great natural sugar choice. 
  • SESAME OIL: that unmistakable nutty delicious flavor! I adore sesame oil. It packs a huge flavor punch and is an amazing Asian flavor that had to be included.

Prepare the Dressing

In a jar, combine the extra virgin olive oil, seasoned rice vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, reduced sodium soy sauce, pinch of salt, minced garlic, and fresh ginger. Close the jar tightly and shake well to mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Set the dressing aside. This dressing can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks, so feel free to make extra for future use.

Prepare the Salad

Rinse and drain the hearts of palm angel hair pasta (if using). Use a spiralizer to create thin noodle-like strands from the carrots. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to make thin ribbons or cut the carrots into matchsticks.

Assemble the Salad

In a large mixing bowl, combine the spiralized carrots, hearts of palm angel hair pasta (or rice noodles), corn kernels, and cashew halves.

Dress the Salad

Drizzle the desired amount of the prepared Asian Sesame Dressing over the salad ingredients. You can add as much or as little dressing as you like, depending on your taste preference.

Gently toss all the salad ingredients with the dressing, ensuring everything is well coated. The dressing will infuse the salad with its delicious flavors. Once everything is mixed, the salad is ready to serve.

Enjoy! Spoon the Crunchy Asian Carrot Salad into serving bowls and enjoy this delightful and nutritious dish.

This not only adds a beautiful pop of color to the dish but also elevates its taste to new heights. The garlic, olive oil, and squeeze of lemon juice bring everything together with a tangy twist.

Sweet Corn Avocado Salad

Embrace summer vibes with a Sweet Corn and Avocado Salad! Each bite bursts with sweetness, crunch, and creaminess. Hearts of palm rice, corn, edamame, and a zesty dressing create a showstopper for your seasonal rotation!

Hey there, sun-kissed souls of summer! Can you feel the zest in the air? It’s time to dive into a dish that embodies the very essence of this vibrant season – my Sweet Corn and Avocado Salad! With every bite, you’ll be transported to a world of brightness, zinginess, and pure, unadulterated flavor. This salad is a non-negotiable addition to your summer meal lineup!

Your healthy ingredients for this Sweet Corn Avocado Salad

  • HEARTS OF PALM RICE: I adore hearts of palm rice or noodles. They are such a great low carb option that give you the texture and mouthfeel of rice without the snack of carbs. It makes this salad extremely light and easily digestible 
  • CORN KERNELS: the best sweet pop! Texture wise and flavor wise the sweetness in corn pairs so incredibly with creamy avocado and tangy dressing. The perfect balance! 
  • CELERY: not only is celery crunchy and delicious. It’s also packed with water! It’s a great vegetable to add to summer salads especially as it’s refreshing and helps to  keep you hydrated without even knowing. 
  • BELL PEPPER: I used yellow bell pepper for the color and mild sweetness but orange or red would also be perfect. 
  • EDAMAME: adding a protein to every meal is essential. And edamame is such a wonderful choice of plant protein. They are young soybeans. They come frozen and are easily available. They are slightly sweet and nutty in flavor and are incredibly delicious in this salad. Adding health benefits as a whole plant protein and a great bitey texture. 
  • CELERY LEAVES: don’t throw out your celery leaves!!! They are so fragrant and hold most of the celery flavor! They are a great addition to salads and a great no waste option instead of adding a salad green! 
  • AVOCADO: creamy, beautiful, delicious avocado! One of my true loves! So versatile and adds the creaminess you would usually find in a Mayo type dressing but chock full of healthy fats and vitamins instead! I created a showstopper by turning my avocado into a rose centrepiece. And I’m here to tell you it is SO MUCH EASIER THAN YOU THINK!! I created a super easy to follow tutorial. So please be sure to check it out and wow your fam and friends!

Dressing Delight

Whisk all the dressing ingredients together in a bowl until they become a harmonious blend of flavor and zest!

Veggie Vibrance

Prepare all your veggies, giving each one the attention it deserves. Dice, chop, and slice, and set them aside in anticipation of their grand moment!

Ricey Revelation

Rinse and drain your palmini rice, then combine it with the celery, bell pepper, corn, and edamame. This forms the base of your salad – a canvas waiting to be painted with flavor!

Dressing Drama

Drizzle the dressing over the salad, letting it soak up the zingy goodness. Every drop adds a burst of citrusy brightness that elevates the flavors to new heights!

Step 5: Garnish Grandeur Present your masterpiece in bowls, garnishing with fragrant celery leaves and a stunning avocado rose. This salad isn’t just food; it’s an art form, ready to be savored and admired!

And there you have it, a Sweet Corn and Avocado Salad that’s more than a meal; it’s a celebration of summer’s bounty! With each bite, you’ll experience the sweetness of corn, the crunch of celery, and the creamy embrace of avocado. It’s a festival of flavors, a sensory journey that connects us to the sheer happiness that food brings. So, my fellow flavor enthusiasts, let’s raise our forks and toast to the joys of summer! Here’s to savoring every vibrant, zesty moment! Cheers! 🌽🥑🥗

Lemon Garlic Stir Fry Greens

Revamp your green game with Lemon and Garlic Stir Fry Greens! Zesty, aromatic, and oh-so-refreshing. Perfect for a light lunch or a snazzy side. Your plate's about to get a whole lot brighter!

Ever had one of those days where you’re craving something truly vibrant, something that just speaks of sunshine, fresh breezes, and all the zesty wonders of nature? Well, honey, you’re in for a treat!

Picture this: a plate that radiates colors and flavors so rich, you’d think it’s a summer’s day in every bite. Now, I know we’re all champions of our classic cold salads – those refreshing, crisp bites we all know and love. But guess what? Today, we’re flipping the script. Let’s twirl away from that usual salad scene and sizzle our greens with some sassy stir fry moves. Yes, you read that right! We’re giving our greens a warm, aromatic, zesty hug in a pan today. So, grab your apron, put on that chef’s hat, and let’s take our greens on a culinary adventure like never before!

A few key ingredients you’ll need for my Lemon Garlic Stir Fry Greens

  • Organic Spring Mix: Picking the freshest greens is like choosing the best colors for your canvas! For this masterpiece, I chose Revol greens organic spring mix – it’s not just about the taste, but also about supporting organic and sustainable farming. Remember, any leafy love will do – romaine, spring mix, or any salad green you adore.
  • Lemon: Bright, tangy, and the perfect cheerleader for our greens. Fresh lemon doesn’t just add flavor; it paints a splash of sun onto our dish. Always go fresh; it’s the difference between a warm hug and a cheeky wink!
  • Olive Oil: Oh, the silky, earthy embrace of olive oil! Don’t be shy; healthy fats are our pals. Plus, olive oil brings out the beauty in our greens, making them shine and shimmy.

Who said greens should always be cold and crisp?

Sometimes, they love a warm hug from a pan, especially when infused with lemon and garlic. It’s like sunbathing for greens! This method brings out their vibrancy and flavor in such a unique way. It’s like you’ve been introduced to greens all over again!

Imagine biting into slightly wilted yet crunchy greens that have soaked up all the goodness of garlic and a tangy lemon dressing. It’s a symphony of textures and flavors that’ll leave you asking, “Why haven’t I tried this before?!” And the best part? It’s a flash-in-the-pan quick recipe! So, if you’ve got greens and 10 minutes, you’ve got a plate of delight waiting for you!

The Prep

Start off by warming up that olive oil in a pan. As it gets all hot and shimmery, toss in your minced garlic. Let it sauté until it starts singing its fragrant garlic song, filling your kitchen with that unforgettable aroma.

Green Magic

Toss in your Revol greens Romaine crunch mix. Season with a bit of salt and pepper. Give it a good stir, let those greens get all friendly with the garlic, and watch as they take on a slightly wilted, warm texture.

Zesty Twist

Once your greens have had their dance in the pan, it’s time for the lemon to shine! Take that fresh lemon juice and drizzle it over. The zesty lemon combined with the aromatic garlic? Oh, it’s a match made in culinary heaven!

The Grand Finish

Dish out those gorgeous greens onto a plate. But wait, we aren’t done! Sprinkle on some zingy lemon zest, crunchy pistachios, and let’s not forget our creamy avocado. Dive in and enjoy the burst of fresh, tangy, and warm flavors!

Sun’s out, pans out! 💚 Let’s embrace this new, fun way to enjoy our greens. Whether you’re looking for a refreshing lunch on a sunny afternoon or a tantalizing side dish to your main meal, these Lemon and Garlic Stirfry Greens are your ticket to flavor town. So, let’s zest up and stir up some joy on our plates!

Welcome to Claire Town’s Oatfest – the grand carnival of flavors and textures. This isn’t just breakfast; this is an experience. Picture yourself kickstarting the day with a bowl that not only fills your belly but also warms your soul. My Raspberry Bliss Oatmeal is the embodiment of this culinary dream.

What you will need:

  • OATS: I opted for good old fashioned oats. Gf options are totally awesome too. Oats are my ideal way to start the day. Heart healthy. Full of protein and fiber. They are a great way to fuel your body and kickstart your day. 
  • PLANT MILK: almond milk was my choice for this recipe. But it’s also great with cashew milk and flax milk. So take your pick! 
  • FRESH RASPBERRIES: my gosh do I adore these little berries! The sweet but tangy flavor lends itself so well with sweet oats. If fresh aren’t available you can absolutely use frozen. Just be sure to make sure your oats are throughly warmed through 🙂 
  • GROUND FLAX: if you’ve peeped my recipes. Flax is a common ingredient. I use ground flax daily. It’s an amazing source of fiber and so great for your digestive system. It also leaves you satisfied for longer. Staving off those hunger pangs! 
  • VEGAN VANILLA PROTEIN POWDER: there are some AMAZING plant based protein powders on the market. Owyn and KOS have some of the best. Look for clean ingredients and you can’t go wrong. This powder will add a touch of sweetness and of course some protein to start your day. 
  • MAPLE SYRUP: maple on oats is pretty much the most smile inducing combo! The sweet caramel notes are so delicious in creamy cozy oats. It’s also a great balance for the sharp raspberry flavor. 
  • BEET DUSTED COCONUT: packing in extra nutrients is my MO in pretty much all of my recipes. If you can. Why not!? It’s an added colorful and fun element whilst also adding nutritional value. I prep a lot of superfood dusted coconut. Including blue spirulina, ACAI, barley and this delicious beet cococonut. I prep ahead of time by mixing 1 tsp beet powder with 1 cup shredded coconut. Beets are naturally energizing so it really is a perfect way to start the day! 
  • FRESH STRAWBERRIES: I’m a huge fan of fresh fruit on my morning oats. The warm sweet and cozy oats here taste amazing with fresh juices strawberries. Great texture and flavor wise. You can ofcourse sun for any of your favorite fruit! 
  • BANANA:  if there was only one food I had to choose to eat for the rest of my life. It’s BANANA!! Sweet and silky smooth. They are my true love. Much needed fiber, potassium and energizing carbs. They are a great breakfast choice and so dreamy with oats!

Begin the Fusion

Initiate your culinary journey by blending the oats, plant milk, and water in harmony. As the mixture merges, envision the delectable outcome.

Warmth and Aroma

Allow this blend to work its magic on medium heat for 3-5 minutes. As the oats swell and the mix thickens, inhale the delightful aroma that fills your kitchen.

A Boost of Protein

Take your oatmeal off the heat, and it’s time to infuse it with the power of vegan vanilla protein. A scoop of this not only adds to the taste but equips you to face the day ahead.

The Star Ingredient

Introduce the vibrant raspberries to the mix. Witness the magical transformation as these berries blend, lending their rich hue and tangy taste to the oatmeal.

The Final Flourish

Elevate your bowl with a cascade of toppings. The contrast of beet-dusted coconut, slices of fresh strawberries, and banana rounds not only offers a flavor explosion but also paints a visual masterpiece.

Who knew breakfast could be this grand? But then again, why shouldn’t it be? It’s the start of your day, setting the tone for everything that follows.

As you savor every bite of this Raspberry Bliss Oatmeal, remember that even though it taste like a sweet treat, you are actually giving yourself a boat load of nutrition first thing in the mornning! From the fiber-rich oats that promise sustained energy to the vitamin-packed raspberries bursting with antioxidants, this bowl is a testament to health and taste coexisting.

To more such mornings filled with zest, energy, and a breakfast that tastes as radiant as it looks. Cheers to wholesome indulgence!

Beach Wave Smoothie Bowl

Ready for a taste of paradise? This Beach Wave Smoothie Bowl delivers tropical vibes and a nutrient-packed breakfast in just 7 minutes! It's vegan, full of superfoods, and your passport

Hey, Sunshine Chasers and Breakfast Lovers! Are you dreaming of sandy beaches, crashing waves, and a delightful morning breakfast that matches the vibrant hues of the ocean?

Well, dream no more! Today, we’re diving into a breakfast so sensational, it’ll feel like you’re surfing on flavors! Get ready for the Beach Wave Smoothie Bowl: a tropical marvel filled with colors and nutrients that will make you shout, “I’m alive and ready to seize the day!”

This Beachwave Smoothie Bowl requires the following:

  • FROZEN BANANA: is such a perfect smoothie bowl base. As it not only holds the texture as you’re eating. It’s so perfectly sweet! 
  • FROZEN MANGO: is again another perfect smoothie bowl stabilizer. Packed with vitamins and that tropical sweetness. It’s so delicious in this smoothie! 
  • COCONUT YOGURT: adds the perfect amount of creaminess. I used coconut yogurt but feel free to use yogurt of choice. 
  • FROZEN PINEAPPLE: adds another perfect tropical note. And a nice amount of bright zing. 
  • FROZEN CAULIFLOWER: is the best kept smoothie secret ever!!! It blends effortlessly into smoothies and is the perfect hack for parents trying to add veggies into their kiddies diets and even big kids who aren’t veggie inclined! Haha. You don’t taste it at all! Yet you have all the nutrients included! 
  • DATE: using dates as a natural sweetener in smoothies is my favorite! Medjool is the best. But either use whatever you can find or feel free to omit if you don’t want it on the sweeter side! 
  • BLUE SPIRULINA POWDER: this magical powder is such a staple in my kitchen as it should be yours. Unlike its green sister powder- spirulina. BLUE spirulina has a much milder taste (yay) and oh my gosh. That blue color is pure magic! It’s made from algae (ew I know) but this nifty lil powder packs some serious nutritional powder containing so many vitamins and minerals and is also a great source of protein!!! I use this in so many recipes. Highly recommend it! 
  • ALMOND BUTTER: adds some much needed healthy fats along with a lil protein boost and thickens the smoothie soooo perfectly. Feel free to sub for nut or seed butter of choice. 
  • COCONUT MILK: hello tropical bliss! Adding coconut milk as the liquid binder in smoothies, when combined with the tropical fruits is pure magic! 
  • MUSHROOM IMMUNITY POWDER: this one is optional but is such a great addition to your diet. Mushrooms have so many unrivaled benefits that when you buy in powdered form have very little aftertaste and boast a plethora of health benefits. They can help improve digestion, boost immunity, and improve concentration. And are so easily added to smoothies! 
  • FRESH BLUEBERRIES: fresh fruit on smoothie bowls is my favorite! I chose bloobs as they don’t only look amazing with the bright blue smoothie! They are such a lovely fresh pop on every bite! 
  • KIWI FRUIT: is one of the best sources of vitamin C out there. The sweet but tangy flavor I think balances this sweet brekkie so well! 
  • SUNFLOWER SEEDS: adding healthy fats and a much needed crunch. I chose seeds over something like granola as I wanted the cru choy texture without any extra sugar! You could sub for any seed or even macadamia nuts or almonds! 
  • COCONUT CHIPS: another great crunchy texture with the added tropical feel bonus. Coconut chips are different from shredded or desiccated coconut and have a great crunchy bite! 

Voila! You’ve just crafted a breakfast masterpiece that’s not just a feast for the eyes but also a carnival for your taste buds! This Beach Wave Smoothie Bowl is a liquid sonnet of tropical delights, making every bite a joyful escapade!

So, what are you waiting for? Blend it, taste it, love it! This is not just food; it’s an experience—a love letter to mornings, a tribute to tropical paradises, and most importantly, a celebration of YOU! Let each spoonful elevate your spirits and boost your day!

Beauty and Greens Breakfast Bowl

Start your day with a blast of nutrition and flavor! This Beauty and Greens Breakfast Bowl is vegan, loaded with fruits, greens, and protein. In just 10 minutes, create breakfast

Do you want to kickstart your day with a bowl so mouthwatering, it feels like morning sunshine in edible form? You’ve hit the jackpot!

Today, I’m going to share my all-time FAVORITE smoothie bowl recipe. Trust me, it’s a brekky that’s bursting with flavors and benefits. It’s quick, it’s vegan, and it’s a taste explosion!

Beauty and Greens ingredients:

  • BANANA: without a doubt my FAVORITE food of all time!! Literally the one thing I would choose to eat for the rest of my life. Perfect as the base for smoothies, natural sweetness, perfect creaminess AND packed with natural electrolytes and helps aid healthy digestion. The wonder fruit!!! 
  • COCONUT YOGURT: perfect creamy addition. Feel free to sub for non vegan yogurt 🙂 
  • AVOCADO: avos for life!!!! These fruits are truly incredible (yes it’s a fruit!) full of essential healthy fats. The addition of avocado makes this a full rounded nutritious breakfast 
  • OATS: satisfying, keeps you full, fuels your body. They are an amazing addition to smoothie/breakfast bowls. They also help thicken this recipe to make for a beautiful texture 
  • GREEN JUICE: I chose an apple based green juice, but pineapple juice would also work amazingly! 
  • MANGO: is another smoothie staple! The sweet natural sugars and beautiful tropical flavor are so delicious in here 
  • SPINACH: smoothies and blended brekkies are made for the addition of spinach, they are such a great way to get your greens in! 
  • CAULIFLOWER: Now hear me out! Secret veggies in smoothies is a game changer! Absolutely NO cauli flavor at all but you were able to add a veggie and not even know it. A great tip for parents wanting their kids to eat more veggies. Cauliflower in here adds to this thick texture too 🙂 
  • GROUND FLAX: not only great to keep you regular, it keeps you fuller longer and aids a healthy digestive system! Also known to lower cholesterol 
  • HEMP HEARTS: one of the best plant proteins out there. Hemp hearts have a beautiful nutty flavor and are packed with healthy fats and protein 
  •  

How to make this easy breakfast bowl

Pre-chill Your Bowl 

You heard that right! Pop your serving bowl in the fridge while you gather your ingredients. Why? Because we’re about to blend up something divine, and it deserves a chilled throne! This way, every spoonful stays as cold as your ex’s heart—only much more enjoyable.

Assemble Your Superfoods

Grab your blender and get ready for a treat. Toss in the banana, avocado, oats, and other wholesome goodies. Think of this as building the foundation of your breakfast mansion, but the bricks are made of food, and the mortar is made of deliciousness!

Get Blending! 

Time to let your blender do its magic. A few whirls and voila! You’ll have a concoction so silky smooth, you’d think it was a dairy queen—only better because it’s vegan and jam-packed with nutrients!

Into the Bowl 

Take that chilled bowl out of the fridge—it’s showtime! Pour in your blended mix. Admire it. Take a photo if you must because it’s Insta-worthy!

Sprinkle the Love
