The summer is always brutally hot here in Florida and all I want is to cool off with an icy cold, frozen treat. I’ve been trying to cut out excess sugar from our diet, so ice cream and processed snacks are definitely out.

These fresh watermelon popsicles are naturally sweet and loaded with juicy watermelon that has been blended and frozen into the perfect healthy summer snack. This watermelon popsicle recipe couldn’t be any simpler to make, I hope you give it a try!

If you love beans, sweet potatoes, quinoa, corn, and southwestern flavors then this is the perfect easy rainbow inspired recipe for you!

This recipe actually came to fruition because I was trying to transform a big batch of bean salad into a couple of meals that I could meal prep for easy lunches for the week. I’ve been making this southwest bean salad for years, my husband loves it! By adding quinoa and roasted sweet potatoes to the bean salad, it really fills you up and keeps you feeling satisfied for hours!

If you can open a few cans of beans and dice a red onion then you can make the bean salad– it’s that easy. While you make the bean salad, cook the quinoa and roast the sweet potatoes at the same time so everything is pretty much ready in about 30 minutes! Super quick, easy to make, and delicious…what could be better?

Besides being a delicious easy vegan meal prep recipe, this vegan quinoa salad (served cold) is also perfect for bringing to all of your summer BBQ’s, parties, and family events! It’s always a crowd pleaser, even meat eaters love it!

My local grocery store often has beautiful organic bell peppers that are just 1-2 days past their prime on sale. When I’m lucky enough to come across the clearance peppers, I stock up! I usually buy two 4-packs and then dice and freeze two of the peppers in one of these reusable silicone bags. Then I like to make stuffed peppers with the remaining six bell peppers.

Before we were vegan, one of my go-to easy dinner recipes was to cook chicken breasts in a slow cooker with a jar of salsa (or tomato sauce). Using store-bought salsa is such an easy and quick shortcut that adds so much flavor to the stuffed pepper filling! Then I would mix the shredded chicken with rice and use it as filling for Mexican stuffed peppers. Now that we’re vegan, I still make this recipe but I use jackfruit instead of chicken and it’s just as delicious if not better!

One of our favorite places to go out for a quick, healthy vegan dinner is Sweet Tomatoes. We love the salad bar, soups, and baked sweet potatoes! Have you tried the broccoli salad that they have on the bar? We used to love it before we were vegan!

I wanted to recreate the creamy broccoli salad at home without using the mayo, sugar, and vegetable oil that is in the Sweet Tomatoes version. It turned out so delicious and it’s so easy to make! You’re going to love the creamy cashew sauce, crunchy broccoli, and all the toppings, it’s sooo tasty.

I used creamy cashew sauce instead of mayo like most other recipes for broccoli salad call for. It’s just as creamy and flavorful, and in my opinion, it tastes even better! It’s the best vegan broccoli side dish to serve with vegetable burgers, sandwiches, or roasted veggie wraps. It’s also great to bring to summer picnics (because you don’t have to worry about the mayo going bad while it’s unrefrigerated), BBQ’s, and family events.
