I had so many mangoes and decided to dehydrate some for chewy mango candies. I had some leftover and decided to use it as a swirl in a nicecream bowl. Zayn helped me top it with goodies. Julien, Zayn and I each had a spoon, scooping up this deliciousness... and of course, Zayn hadto have the last bite :) Yield: 1 serving  (or enough for you and 2 kiddos) You will need: -3 frozen bananas -2 tablespoons almond milk (any liquid) -1 cup mango puree -Toppings: dried coconut chips, hemp seed, Rawnola Directions: 1. To make the mango puree, just blend ripe mango in a high speed blender. Set this aside and do not worry about cleaning out the blender 2. Place the bananas and almond milk in the blender and blend until it reaches an icecream consistency 3. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

I saw this recipe and adjusted it to suit a gluten-free and dairy-free diet. Feel free to adjust the quantities or to play around with the flavors. The crust and filling alone are so divine and you could just eat them out of a bowl as a snack! The boys enjoyed this so much that I can guarantee it will be revisited throughout the summer! Yield: One large tart You will need: Crust: -2 cups almond flour -1/2 cup carob/cocoa powder -1/4 cup melted coconut oil Filling: -2 cups almond milk (any milk) -1 cup pitted dates -1/4 cup melted carob/chocolate chips Directions: 1. In a food processor, mix all the crust ingredients together until combined 2. Press this mix into a lined tart/pie pan 3. For the filling, blend all the ingredients together until combined 4. Pour the filling over the crust and place in the freezer for about 4 hours (or overnight) to harden slightly enough to cut easily 5. When ready to eat, remove from the freezer and slice

This bowl reminds me of the Acai bowls I was devouring as we visited Maui. Honestly, the flavours are so on point that I'm pinching myself. I wish I had some bananas to decorate it with, but regardless... it was just perfect! Julien and Zayn decided to join me on eating it (Zayn ate all the toppings 😅). I hope you enjoy! Yield: 1 serving and enough for 2 hungry kiddos You will need: -2-3 frozen Banana -1 peeled and sliced dragon fruit -1 cup frozen strawberries -1 cup frozen raspberries -1/4 cup cashew milk (any milk) -Toppings: coconut candy, pumpkin seeds, dried mulberries, Chia pudding, cherries Directions: Blend all the ingredients together and top with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Chocolate tahini mousse... good on anything. Eat it with fruit, as Nutella, scoop it over a smoothie bowl or eat it by the spoonful :) If you have a ripe avocado, this recipe us calling your name. You don't haveto worry about the avocado browning because the Chocolatey color will mask that. Enjoy!

Enjoy out if the blender or place in the fridge to cool. *I haven't tried substituting another nut butter fir the tahini but I would imagine r that it would be tasty *For a lesser fat version, substitute the tahini for 1 ripe banana
