Vegan layered Cherry Cheesecake

Cheesecake is usually a sweet dessert consisting of one or more layers of a crust made from crushed cookies, Graham crackers, and topped with cheese, eggs, and sugar.    But In this recipe that I got inspired by Minimalist Baker along with some variation that I made, you will find it all healthy and vegan. So get ready to indulge in a healthy guilt-free cheesecake. Those who have dairy intolerance may not be comfortable eating the regular cheesecake since it is made up of dairy products like sour cream, cream cheese, whipped cream, and many more. This recipe is the best for them since there is no dairy ingredient that is used here. If you think that these may not taste as the regular cheesecakes....please don't doubt!! These are simply too good and insanely delicious that you will not be able to resist eating them. These tiny cute mini cheesecakes are super healthy since they are vegan, eggless, grain-free, gluten-free, refined sugar-free. You ca

Orange Juice Ice pops

There is nothing better than enjoying Homemade Ice pops on a hot sunny day!! Of course, they are so refreshing, but they do also hydrate us from within to stay fit and fine.     Ice pops are basically water or milk-based frozen snack on a stick. The stick is used as a handle to hold the Ice Pops. There are so many options out there. I like just simple plain juice for the reason that it doesn't have high-calorie content, unlike the milk-based ones. These pops can be made easily since there are no special ingredients required. Every household has Oranges in their fruit basket. So you can just pick some, make the juice and freeze. Wondering what to do if you don't have a mold or you don't want to freeze in plastic as plastic leaches in the food when freezer. Then not to worry, I have a solution for that. You can just use your steel drinking cups with Ice cream sticks or silicone molds. I always opt for something plastic-free as a well less expensive opt

Orange Spritzer

This refreshing pretty drink is the easiest way to give a twist to an ordinary glass of orange juice. This is a nonalcoholic version of the spritzer which can be served to everyone.    Spritzer means a spray or splash in German. It usually consists of wine and Carbonated water. Thankfully Spritzers also come in nonalcoholic versions using fruit /vegetable juices. Soda drinks are too sweet and contain a lot of sugar which may not be liked by everyone. But in this spritzer, you will taste the sweet juice from the fruit juice which is available in natural form and then added with sparkling water to give that soda effect. You can either use fresh orange juice from the orange fruit or store-bought orange juice Make sure it is 100% juice without any added sugars or preservatives and choose organic as much as possible. This is a perfect summery drink to be given to kids when they want to quench their thirst as an alternative to Soda. It not only hydrates but also provides Vitamin

Blueberry Swirl Loaf Cake

This is a wonderful recipe for Loaf cake which is so moist and flavourful. You will definitely make it again once you will try it.    I usually make round or square cakes never baked a loaf cake. Always wondered how beautiful it rises and looks so delicious!! I got inspired by the base recipe from Julie Blanner, and I decided to bake it making it healthier... I was literally amazed to see the result. It's so easy and at the same time healthy. This recipe is eggless, made with whole wheat flour, Refined sugar-free since I always opt for it's healthier alternative which is coconut sugar.This recipe requires minimal ingredients to whip up and is ready in an hour. Perfect with your tea /coffee...also can be served for breakfast. Grab and go healthy snacks for those times when you don't have much time to cook. Here I have made a blueberry sauce with fresh blueberries. It is again a very simple recipe that I will be sharing.

Thats when I got the base recipe from Lean Green Nutrition Friend.
