Avocados are so nutritious, versatile and delicious in everything from tacos to salads to chocolate pudding! We decided to give making raw cheesecake a try – using avocados as the star ingredient, to replace the standard cream cheese that is typically used to make cheesecakes. If your family loves avocado, you will definitely want to try out this healthier version of a classic dessert. It is simple to make since there is no cooking involved, and the recipe instructions are so easy that my son was able to make the entire cheesecake himself. You can grab the one-page printable recipe here and read on to learn how to make raw, organic, mini vegan avocado cheesecakes in minutes. They’re the perfect sweet ending to a meal, or a yummy afternoon snack!

Right before the mister and I started our juice detox, we switched over to raw honey. We found a naturally raw honey that is made locally here in Florida – in fact, it is made only a few miles from our home. We had to give it a try – it’s made by Wee Bee Honey, an American family owned and operated opiary, with generations of beekeeping – since 1892.

Wee Bee Honey promotes organic methods of raising bees and utilizing essential oils instead of pesticides. Have you had raw honey? Oh my goodness – you haven’t had honey until you’ve had raw honey! It is amazing, the overall flavor, scent, color, and texture is fabulous – I could (and have) eaten it by the spoonful!

I can’t wait for this juice fast to end so I can have a spoon of Wee Bee Honey in my morning tea. So, I ask again, have you had raw honey? Do you love it too?

P. S. Did you know that raw honey has been used for centuries to improve poor digestion, oral health, allergies, burns, wounds and scars? See, I told you it was amazing!

Who doesn’t love fudge? I remember begging my mom to buy us a piece of fudge anytime we came across it when I was a kid! And even if you’re a vegan, you can still enjoy this super-yummy sweet treat — you just have to get creative with the ingredients. While fudge is absolutely fun to eat, it is even more fun to make with your kids after school. This vegan fudge is so simple that it takes only 10 minutes to throw together, requires zero cooking and actually includes a serving of fruit too!
