The flavor combination of pineapple and coconut is so good, especially in this Pina Colada Chia Pudding by Kirsten Genton. It is extremely refreshing, especially in the summer heat, and tastes better the longer it sits. You might even want to try adding a little coconut or mango rum to these as a boozy treat.

Smooth, fluffy, light, and creamy without the dairy cream, this Roasted Cauliflower Soup by Julie Zimmer is world-class. As with other cruciferous vegetables, cauliflower is also a great source of antioxidants. If you can’t get yourself to eat it steamed, raw, or boiled, then think about roasting an entire head and turning it into a deliciously creamy soup, like this one!

In this decadent Caramel Apple Nice Cream Sundae by Larice Feuerstein, the apples are blended with the bananas for a fresh apple-flavored frozen dessert that is as yummy as it is unexpected. It’s then layered with warm homemade caramel sauce and chopped peanuts, for a delicious treat that tastes just like biting into a caramel apple. You could even make this a decadent breakfast by adding fresh chopped apples and homemade granola.

10. Raw Raspberry Slice

This Raw Raspberry Slice recipe by Sienna Formosa is simply one of the best desserts yet! They are made up of three layers: the first layer is a chewy, gooey nutty base, the second layer is smooth and creamy and the top layer is rich and zesty. They are so easy to make and all you need to do is pop them in the freezer until you are ready. You would never believe they are vegan, refined sugar-free, and gluten-free! Vanilla extract is often processed with alcohol (which is fermented), so you may want to leave that out.
