These oven-baked vegan zucchini chips will become your new favorite, homemade savory snack! They have a cheesy flavor, thanks to a coating of almond flour, bread crumbs, and homemade vegan “parmesan” with cashews and nutritional yeast. In place of an egg coating, the recipe calls for dipping the zucchini slices in aquafaba. Serve the chips with your favorite dipping sauce, and be prepared for the batch to disappear quickly! Nutrition clients frequently come to me with a request for more snack ideas. It’s…

These simple roasted Japanese sweet potato wedges are crispy and salty on the outside, tender and sweet on the inside. They make for an irresistable vegan side dish or snack, especially if you serve them with a great dipping sauce! I originally created these roasted Japanese sweet potato wedges to be a component part of a larger recipe. I started snacking on them when they were fresh out of the oven, as I worked on all of the other components. I couldn’t believe…

These vegan blueberry crumb muffins have a fluffy, moist interior, pockets of juicy berries in the center, and a delicious streusel topping. Meal prep them for snacks or enjoy them with your favorite accompaniments for breakfast! Last summer, only weeks after I moved apartments, one of my yoga teachers offered a special rooftop class. What a rooftop it was! It was perched high in the sky, at the top of a tall hotel in downtown Manhattan, and with a pool, to boot. Practicing…

Baking has been a wonderful companion through quarantine. However, it’s now the height of summer. The last thing I’d like to do on a 90-degree day is turn on my oven, which makes my apartment hot even if the AC is running. It’s the perfect time for no-bake treats, and these vegan peanut butter cereal bites are my new favorite! Technically speaking, this is a three-ingredient recipe. That’s not something I’m often able to pull off, but in this case, it works. You…

One of the things I keep hearing, on social media and among friends, is that people are craving freshness in food. I think most of us have relied a little more heavily than usual on pantry staples, which is important for safety and staying put. But, with fewer trips to the store and more concern about food waste and spoilage, it’s also natural for us to want to see more color on our plates again. Today’s sunny recipe is full of both freshness…

I keep seeing mention of quarantine snacks on social media. Yesterday afternoon, it occurred to me that I was running low on snacks myself! As I considered about what to make, I thought back to these chai spice energy balls, which I made and shared with my yoga community a couple months ago (feels like a lifetime ago now). These are really the same date/nut energy balls I’ve been making for years and years, with the addition of a chai-inspired spice blend. Nothing…

Until recently, it had been a while since I’d made overnight oats. Last week, though, New York City gave me the perfect invitation to make them. There was a hint of fall in the air, but temperatures reached the 80’s and 90’s for a couple days straight. Stovetop oats, warm drinks, baking projects, and the…

Baking tends to get a lot of attention in the weeks leading up to the winter holidays, yet it’s often overlooked in January. Perhaps this is because the holidays are regarded as a time to celebrate and indulge, while the arrival of a new year prompts a lot of focus on healthful eating. In my…

Happy Thursday, everyone! Amazingly, this is the very last morning of my current clinical rotation. Putting aside the overall challenges of the DI itself—new schedule, lots of oversight, lack of privacy—my seven weeks at this site have been a wonderful learning experience, with supportive and caring dietitians as teachers. I’m still struggling to wrap my…
