Vegan Feta Cheese
Vegan cheese has come a long way! I used teh Violife vegan cheese and really liked it. Perfect for vegan or dairy free recipes. It would be great on a strawberry spinach salad for summer too!
Recipe Tips
I used a spoon to scoop out the middle but some people said to use a melon ball scooper. I’m going to have to try that next time!

Caesar Pasta Salad (vegan, gluten free)
This vegan and gluten free caesar pasta salad is the perfect healthy side dish! I can’t wait to bring this to a bbq this summer! It’s so tasty, people won’t even know that it’s vegan and gluten free. Packed with fiber, nutrients, and flavor. You can use any caesar dressing but I like to make an extra creamy, homemade version.
Gluten Free and Vegan Samoa Bites
These vegan and gluten free samoa bites are inspired by the girl scout cookies! These little bites are such a fun treat- the perfect combo of chocolate and coconut with an easy 3 ingredient shortbread like base. You need to bake the base layer but after that, no baking involved! The center is made with dates and cashew butter. The toppings are melted chocolate chips and more coconut on top!
I love banana bread in any form but these bites just hit different. Mini form anything is just more fun and therefore tastier, right? Plus these are made with only 5 ingredients and are gluten free + vegan. We’ve been trying to eat more plant based recipes lately and these bites are a great plant based breakfast, snack, or dessert. Basically, these vegan banana bread bites are tasty any time of time!
