The great thing about this recipe? Make it your own with your favorite toppings or mix-ins.

Looking for a quick and healthy breakfast packed with a nutrient boost from your favorite greens blend powder? You’ve found it! This overnight chia pudding is super simple and can be prepped in just a few minutes (minus the fridge time).

Enjoy it in the morning or as a late afternoon snack. It’s best when made the night before or given a few hours to sit so the chia seeds can absorb the milk.

This is a “make-it-your-own chia pudding recipe” so you can play with it until it becomes your go-to favorite. Start with any plant-based milk you like. Full-fat canned coconut milk will make it rich and creamy - almond milk will keep it on the lighter side. Just don’t skip the step of mixing the Greens Blend and milk in a blender until smooth; this creates a creamy texture without any clumps.

The fun part? You can mix in or top this superfood recipe with any of your favorites. Here are a few of our favorite combos, but the options are endless!

• A scoop of Greek yogurt, frozen berries and a bit of honey
• Sliced banana, a spoonful of almond butter and granola on top
• Warmed seasonal fruit with a drizzle of maple syrup

Don’t forget to take a pic and tag us @lifesbundance on social media so we can share your creation.

Fuel your body with organic greens and mushrooms for extra antioxidants and phytonutrients.

Makes 2 servings

Ingredients:

1/2 cup ice, garnish

Instructions

1. Add the fresh berries and honey to a jar or bowl and crush them with a hard wire whisk or fork.

3. Add the berry mixture, ice, milk, and the cooled matcha mixture to a glass one by one to create a swirling effect.

The recipe features our Greens Blend, a mix of non-GMO, raw grasses, plus certified organic mushrooms that perfectly complements matcha.

Make the best sugar cookies...ever. Without refined sugar.

Every holiday you bake sugar cookies for your kid’s holiday party.  Mmm...the oven-fresh smell is amazing. An entire class of third graders’ mouths water in unison as the tray of cookies enters the room, but there’s just one problem. The teacher’s no-sugar policy. We all know too much sugar is frowned upon, especially for kids, but what are sugar cookies without their sugary deliciousness?

The great news is you can avoid refined sugar and still turn out the best sugar cookies ever. The Vanilla Plant Protein Powder in this recipe is not only healthier, but it will delight your taste buds. It’s a win-win. Even the most health conscious teacher will enjoy them as much as their students will.

This recipe is a protein-packed, gluten-free take on traditional sugar cookies without the refined sugar. The coconut flour gives these cookies a soft, chewy texture, while the sanding sugar adds a little crunch as a garnish. If you want to skip sugar altogether, there are also sugar-free sprinkles. In the end, if all you have in the pantry is “real” sugar, you can substitute the same amount - and you’ll be happy to know they’re still healthier than most cookie recipes.

Note: A medium star cookie cutter was used, but cooking times and the number of cookies produced will vary depending on the shape and size of the cookie cutter you decide to use.

Makes about 16 cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1 scoop Life’s Abundance Vanilla Plant Protein Powder
• 1 Tbsp. coconut flour
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/3 cup monk fruit powder
• 1 large egg, cracked
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/8 tsp. fine sea salt
• 1/4 cup sanding sugar (optional garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Add the almond flour, Vanilla Plant Protein Powder, and coconut flour; whisk; and set aside.
3. Add the coconut oil and monk fruit powder to a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or handheld mixer and cream for three minutes until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat for one more minute.
4. Add the dry ingredients slowly until just combined.
5. Roll out the cookie dough with a rolling pin to 1/2-inch thick on a large parchment-lined sheet to avoid sticking to the counter. Chill the dough on the parchment paper in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
6. Carefully cut with a cookie cutter. Repeat this process with the rest of the dough. If it gets too warm and stops holding its shape, place it back in the fridge for 30 minutes.
7. Place the cookies two inches apart on a parchment-lined, rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with sanding sugar (about 1/4 tsp. per cookie).
8. Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until puffy and cooked through.

Note: They will be soft, so don’t move them. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 20 to 30 minutes and store in an airtight container for three days or freeze for up to three months.

Enjoy!

Instead of tons of calories in an onion dip, try our tasty superfood recipe.

Don’t want to be stuck eating 5,000 calories-a-scoop onion dip at your best friend’s holiday soiree - yet fear being made fun of when you bring your favorite gluten-free, sugar-free, fun-free hors d'oeuvre? Add this flavorful superfood dip featuring our delicious Greens Blend to the potluck table and you’ll be the star of the party.

This dip is not only easy to make, it contains some of the most nutrient-dense foods out there - like spinach, garlic, beans, red peppers, and avocado. Not up on the latest benefits of these superfoods? Read below so you can school the mini-hotdog lovers scowling at the “health food”, they think, you’re trying to pass off as tasty. 

Beans are loaded with fiber and plant protein to help keep you full. They’re also an under-the-radar antioxidant hero - protecting your heart, improving your skin, and preventing heart disease.

Spinach is your leafy green BFF; it’s filled with antioxidants, most of its calories come from protein, and it’s one of the best sources of dietary potassium and iron. Plus, the Vitamins A and C it contains will help boost your immune system in these cold winter months.

Avocados contain over 25 essential nutrients and are one of the tastiest ways to get in some much-needed healthy fat and fiber. They’re loaded with monounsaturated fat, known to improve cholesterol and help you lose belly fat. They also contain the compound glutathione, which blocks the absorption of unhealthy fats. 

Did you know? Avocados contain glutathione which blocks the absorption of unhealthy fats.

Garlic is best known as the ingredient to avoid if you plan on getting face-to-face, it should be touted for its main disease-fighting compound, Allicin. Not only does it create healing in the circulatory, digestive and immune systems, it also has anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and antioxidant properties. 

Red Peppers contain beta carotene, lycopene, and skin-repairing Vitamin A, but their most impressive stat is the amount of the powerful antioxidant, Vitamin C, they contain - twice as much as an orange. 

Rosemary has been used as a medicinal herb for centuries; traditionally used to help alleviate muscle pain, improve memory, boost the immune and circulatory system, and promote hair growth - fresh Rosemary tastes best. 

Around the Life’s Abundance office, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between deprivation and all-out gluttony. We know that in order to get anyone, whether it’s our kids or our friends, to get on the superfood bandwagon, we need to make them taste good, or there’s no getting them to take a second bite.

Whip up this 5-minute dip and guests will be overjoyed by its taste, plus the fact that they can now indulge in an extra cookie or two.

Recipe: 

• 1 scoop Life’s Abundance Greens Blend
• 1 15.5 oz can cannellini beans
• 1 avocado
• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, packed
• 2 large cloves garlic
• Juice from 1 fresh lemon
