overnight creamy cashew chocolate shake

One of my not-so-guilty pleasures is a chocolate shake. I love to do a dairy-free version so it fits best with my plant-based eating approach. Though I make shakes many ways, this overnight creamy cashew chocolate shake is my new favorite. And let’s face it … anything chilly is welcome in our way-too-hot summer that we’re having right now. Luckily, there’s no “giving up” scrumptiousness, creaminess, or anything else with this shake recipe. It’s one of my answers for the definition of “yum!”

Are you a popcorn lover? I’m a fan … but I am definitely particular about it! If it’s diet-y or filled w/mysterious stuff, I’ll take a pass. However, I love giving it fun, non-diet-y, non-mysterious upgrades, like this 100-percent plant-based recipe for sweet and salty tahini popcorn. It’s a good one … kind of like caramel popcorn, but with a bit more intrigue!

I’ve been a member of the chickpea “fan club” ever since I was a kid. OK, so not really! But I guess that’s one thing that can happen when you have a Lebanese mother who was an amazing cook (and caterer)! No complaints here … my nutritionist self loves that these pulses offer plenty of protein and fiber. Though, if my mother were still around, she’d probably be a bit bewildered by all of my non-traditional chickpea concoctions. This is one of those.
