Quick, Simple No-Bake Vegan Recipes!

A jar of mango chia pudding.

Delicate spices make flavorful food — but did you know they are also super healthy for you? Herbs and spices come from various parts of a plant, flowers, leaves, seeds, and more — and each one has unique health benefits. An easy way to add a burst of health to your daily routine is to add one of our Raw Herbal Extracts™ to a no-bake recipe. Heat changes some of the components of herbs and spices, so while you can cook with them, you lose some of the health benefits. On the other hand, when you add a dropper or two into a delicious, simple-to-make recipe, you get the best of both worlds: Great taste, plus an easy way to add vitamins, antioxidants, and health to your day.

Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Food processor
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Spatula
  • 8x8 baking dish
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Medjool dates (pitted, chopped, firmly packed)
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats, separated into two portions
  • 1 cup roasted unsalted almonds (loosely chopped)
  • ¼ cup raisins or other dried fruit
  • ¼ cup salted almond butter
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 droppers Tulsi Raw Herbal Extract
  • A sprinkle of organic chocolate chips, cacao nibs, or other additions (optional)

Directions

  1. Add dates to a food processor. If you use whole dates, make sure to remove the inner pit before processing. Process until it resembles dough; it may ball up.
  2. Add dates to a mixing bowl.
  3. Add half the oats in the food processor and process gently. The finer consistency will help the bars stick together.
  4. Add the processed oats, the unprocessed oats, the almonds, and the raisins or dried fruit to the mixing bowl where the dates are. If using cacao nibs, or other options, add them now. Set aside.
  5. Heat salted almond butter and maple syrup over low heat so that it becomes more liquified. Add Tulsi extract.
  6. Pour almond butter mixture over the other ingredients and mix well, breaking up the dates so that they spread throughout the dough.
  7. Place a sheet of parchment paper at the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish. You can also use a loaf pan, but the bars may be thicker.
  8. Add the mixture to the pan. Press down on the bars using something like the bottom of a glass to help them stick together.
  9. Cover with parchment paper and let firm up in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. At room temperature, they will not stick together as well.

Note: Make sure to use salted almond butter for a great salty-sweet taste for these bars. If you want a delicious chocolate-peanut butter vibe (or almond butter, technically), add cacao nibs or organic chocolate chips.

Mango chia pudding nutrition facts.

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • A large glass container

Ingredients

  • 10 oz bag frozen mango chunks, thawed
  • 13.5 oz can of reduced-fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 dropper Moringa Raw Herbal Extract

Directions

  1. Reserve a few of the defrosted mango chunks for a topping. Add the rest of the bag to a blender.
  2. Transfer the mango puree into a medium mixing bowl, using a spatula to make sure you get everything.
  3. Open the can of coconut milk (note this is not the “milk” but the canned variety). You can use full-fat coconut milk, but the coconut oil in it will solidify, creating hard chunks of oil in the recipe compared with the reduced-fat variety.
  4. Add coconut milk, chia, and maple syrup to the bowl and stir gently.
  5. Put into a large glass container and top with a few chunks of mango.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. Enjoy!

Sleepytime Banana Ice Cream

Finding a good dairy-free ice cream substitute can be a challenge. Many people love one-ingredient banana "ice cream" — sometimes called "nice cream" in the vegan world. Essentially, you take frozen bananas, puree them in a food processor, and you have an instant, healthy frozen treat! You can add ingredients to add flavor. I recommend that you generally like bananas to try this recipe. We’ve created a blend with Valerian Raw Herbal Extract™ plus delicate, sweet spices like cinnamon, vanilla, and cacao. It’s packed full of flavor, and can even help you drift off to la-la land.

Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Knife
  • Cookie sheet

Ingredients

  • 3 frozen, ripened bananas
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons cacao powder (you can substitute organic cocoa powder)
  • 1 dropper Valerian Raw Herbal Extract™
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk

Directions

  1. Slice bananas and place parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Freeze for one to two hours. Freezing them individually keeps them from sticking together.
  2. Once the banana chunks are frozen, add them to a blender or food processor. If you are having trouble blending the bananas, add up to ¼ cup of almond milk.
  3. Add in the vanilla, cinnamon, cacao, and Valerian.
  4. Blend until creamy.
  5. Serve immediately or store in the freezer.
