Craving a healthy treat? Visit Kelly’s XO in Burlington Ontario

You’ve probably thought about being plant-based, having heard of the myriad of healthy benefits it can give you. Also, it doesn’t hurt that incredibly awesome actors like Peter Dinklage, Natalie Portman, and Jared Leto and celebrated personalities like Ellen Degeneres, Martina Navratilova, and Bill Clinton are vegans. The thing is, temptations abound when you happen to be going on a straighter, better path. And you really don’t want to let go of your everyday treats. But depriving yourself of decadent pastries, deliciously sweet cakes, and other heavenly desserts is a thing of the past. Being a vegan these days does not have to mean letting go of precious treats — not when you have got places like this Burlington, Ontario bakery that has won countless awards for its plant-based and gluten-free desserts. Kelly’s ultra popular Burlington bakery, called Kelly’s XO Bake Shoppe, has been making waves with vegans and non-vegans alike.…

Granola Bars

Granola bars are good grab-and-go snacks but they are often fat-and sugar-bombs without enough protein to see you through. These unbaked bars come together very easily; they are gluten- and lactose-free and they have plenty of healthy protein, fiber and flavor to satisfy your snack-attacks. Active time: 25 minutes Total time: 8 ½ hours, including overnight refrigeration 2 cups GF rolled oats 2 cups brown rice crisps 1/2 cup raw almonds, roughly chopped 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips or cacao nibs 1 tablespoon chia seeds ½ teaspoon sea salt 1/2 cup agave or coconut syrup ¼ cup maple syrup 1/4 cup raw coconut sugar ½ cup coconut oil 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 2 cups almond butter ½ cup cacao nibs Line a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix the oats, brown rice crisps, almonds, chocolate chips, chia seeds and sea salt. In a…

Creamy Vegan Broccoli Soup

I’m already thinking chilly weather and soup season and wanted to change up my greens that I tend to eat daily. For some reason, it’s been a while since I’ve had broccoli and started craving it over the weekend. This soup was an a easy make for me and made enough for lunch yesterday and today. It’s nutritious, easy to make and you can freeze it for future lunches or dinners. I love cooking with non-dairy milks and creams and LOVE that I get ZERO bad cholesterols in my diet. Only healthy fats for me (if only my mom would listen). Broccoli is also an amazing source of calcium (along with kale). Who needs dairy when we have our greens?! Creamy Broccoli Soup Makes about 8 servings (1 cup each) 1 medium yellow onion, diced 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 tsp olive oil 2 medium organic potatoes, scrubbed and diced 2 medium…

Teff Brownies. Gluten Free, Vegan and Delicious

Teff Brownies. Who would’ve thought? For most, I bet you have never heard of this nutritious grain/flour. I personally love the teff grain and experienced it a few years back in an Ethiopian restaurant and admired the taste of the flour they used to make their flat bread called enjera. One of the smallest grains in the world, it dates back to over 4000 years on this planet. I think what I love about eating gluten-free baking is that the grains and flours can be so densely nutritious. Teff is about 12% protein and it leads all other grains in its calcium content. A cup of cooked teff offers about 123mg of calcium which is comparable to a half-cup cooked spinach. Teff is also an excellent source of vitamin C, a micronutrient not commonly found in grains. It’s also very high in fibre and B vitamins. Due to it’s earthy…

Raw Cacao and Coconut Granola Recipe

This is now one of our best sellers at LettuceLove Cafe and Kelly’s Bake Shoppe. Every time I make it, it is sold out by 5pm that day. I think more and more people are realizing the benefits of eating raw food and allowing this food to keep it’s nutrition and enzymes intact. The Kelly’s Bake Shoppe is going to be making more of these types of products in the very near future and the good news is too is that it’s shippable!! What is so great about this granola is that it has so many purposes. It can be used as healthy energy snacks for your children’s lunch boxes, breakfast cereal and top it with almond milk and bananas, it travels well in car or in a plane, it’s perfect for hotel rooms when you can’t find good food to eat (bring your granola!!!), crumble it over your coconut…
