If you feel like enjoying a pumpkin pie but don’t feel like getting involved in making one, I recommend you try these “pumpkin pie” style balls. They are delicious, healthy, and straightforward to make. Also, the best part is that you can prepare them beforehand and keep them in the fridge for 3-4 days or even freeze them and take them out when you need them.

For this recipe, you only need 5 minutes and a handful of easy-to-find ingredients. In addition, you can make yourself pumpkin puree and almond butter.

Chia pudding is not only a delicious breakfast or snack, but it is also straightforward to prepare. All you have to do is mix the chia seeds and the non-dairy milk and let it rest for a few hours in the fridge. That’s all!

Delicious, healthy and versatile

For me, the best thing about chia pudding is that it is super versatile: you can make it with the milk that you like the most. Personally, I love it with coconut and almond milk; You can customize it by adding the essence of vanilla, cinnamon or even cocoa powder; you can sweeten it with your favourite sweetener; and at the end, you decorate it with the fruits, seeds, nuts or cream that you prefer.

In the last few weeks I received many messages from different people in Argentina asking me to prepare some Argentine recipe for FMD. Since at the beginning of the year I promised that in 2018 I would make some of the recipes that you ask me, I decided to share a recipe inspired by Argentine cuisine.

Dulce de batata is a traditional dessert from Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay, made from sweet potato, in my version I wanted to add squash to make it more original. I have used butternut squash, but you can also use different varieties. It is an easy dessert to prepare, delicious and 100% vegan, and is an excellent way to eat vegetables. I hope you like it 😉

Cacao is one of the oldest foods in the world, in fact  4,000 years ago people like the Maya and the Aztecs used it. These populations mixed it with water, honey and spices, giving life to a strong drink that offered a lot of energy. When cacao arrived in Europe, foods like milk, sugar and butter were added.

Still today I would like to propose a simple recipe, inspired by the cacao drink that the Mayans took. In addition, to turn it into a complete snack my recipe carries egg whites.

It is a really delicious recipe, with an original spicy touch due to the chilli pepper.

I wait for your opinions 🙂
