Oven Baked Falafel

We always love finding new ways to incorporate plant-based protein into our meals. What we find works best when it comes to doing this, is when it’s something that can be batch-cooked so that you can grab and add to your meals throughout the week. In this case, it’s falafel! This falafel is gluten free and packed with protein and flavor. They’re quick and easy to make and are a great with several different meals. For example, you could whip up a Mediterranean-inspired bowl fo

Asian Slaw (vegan)

Although we kinda want to boycott the Super Bowl (geaux Saints), we’re not *that* petty, so we’re coping by making some DELISH and healthy game day food. We whipped up some Asian slaw that we think you’ll love. While this recipe is perfect to bring to a Super Bowl party, it's great to make to have at home any day, too. Have it as a side with barbecue or grilled chicken, on top a salad or piece of salmon, or just all on its own. We also have a recipe for BBQ jackfruit tacos, t

Avocado Pico de Gallo

You officially have the newest, most delicious addition to Taco Tuesday, and it involves avocado. And if it involves tacos and avocado, you can't go wrong, right? We can't decide if this is a chunky salsa, a pico, or maybe like pico and guac had a baby, but we're just gonna go with avocado pico de gallo for simplicity’s sake. But this isn't your average pico. First off, it's pretty to look at-- super colorful and filled with vibrant ingredients. But most importantly, the flav

Matcha Banana Pancakes (gf, df)

It's been almost exactly a year since I made my very first trip to Europe. A life-changing trip to Spain and Italy (Barcelona, Florence, Rome, and Cinque Terre, to be exact) that I will always remember. Something in particular I've thought about since I left those beautiful, historical cities were... these matcha banana pancakes. I know, right. How on-brand (or maybe basic) that in a place filled with breath-taking scenery, incredible architecture, and traditional Spanish and

Blondie Recipe: Almond Butter + Sun Butter Blondies (gf, df)

If you’ve never had a blondie before, first off, we’re sorry to hear that. But basically, they’re the vanilla cousin of a brownie. SO GOOD. Of course, we had to find a way to have a delicious blondie without it being loaded with refined sugar, butter, or processed flour. So we made these. We made this recipe not so incredibly healthy that it’s hardly dessert but healthy enough so that you can feel good eating it (and afterwards). These are a great option for a sweet treat wit

Pesto: Bare Better-For-You Pesto

Pesto is one of those things that just makes things taste better. Most pesto recipes are made up mostly of oil, and second to that basil and pine nuts. There's traditionally some Parmesan cheese in there, too. No wonder it's delicious, right? And what is pesto typically paired with? Pasta. Yup. So, consuming pesto would likely entail lots of oil, some cheese, and some pasta. If we did that too often we might have a clogged artery or two and we'd certainly feel some belly bloa

Lentil Pasta: Veggie-Loaded with Healthy Pesto

I don't know about you, but we could literally dive into a bowl of this veggie-loaded lentil pasta. And did we hear pesto? If there's pesto, we're in. This recipe is seriously one of the EASIEST we have on our blog, and it's so so good. Bare Nutrition is all about finding ways to say yes to all foods. PASTA included (We're Italian, c'mon we practicaly have pasta in our blood). We also are all about finding ways to take comfort foods with virtually no nutritional content (aka

Healthy Makeover: Nonna's Italian Lemon Cookies

Our grandma is arguably the best cook we know. She's a Sicilian immigrant and has a life-long repertoire of authentic, AMAZING Italian recipes and secret sauces. Many of her recipes aren't written down and have only been passed down by spending time in the kitchen and learning first-hand. One of those, are her famous lemon twist cookies. They are melt in your mouth, soft, slightly sweet, and seriously addicting. When we come over to her house, we check the cookie jar hoping s

Cauli Berry Smoothie Recipe

With every smoothie comes an opportunity to work in MORE VEGGIES. More veggies mean more of all the good stuff: vitamins, amino acids, minerals, phytonutrients, and enzymes. All working to hydrate you, clear your skin, better your digestion, cleanse you, and nourish you. We often push our clients to increase their vegetable intake by getting them into the habit of asking themselves, “Where are the veggies?” at every meal. So any excuse to add ‘em, add ‘em. Aside from veggies,

Gingerbread Banana Bread

We were pumpkin obsessed for all of October and November, and now it’s gingerbread’s turn. Gingerbread spices are so yummy, warming, and just gets us in the spirit of the holiday season. When we say “warming,” we don’t just mean the cozy vibes, but we mean these spices actually warm you from the inside. Perfect for the cold weather season, right?

Mom’s Lentil Soup

There’s just something about mom’s cooking, right? Even the most simple things magically taste better when it’s cooked by your mom. Growing up, we remember asking our mom to make us things as plain and easy as buttered toast when we were well old enough to do it ourselves. She’d say, “Come on, make it yourself!” To which we’d always say, “Aw but pleeaseeeee. You do it better!” Same goes for this soup. She makes it all the time in the fall and winter, and it’s so easy but so d

Healthy Baked Mac n Cheese (Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Soy-free)

Who doesn't like mac n cheese? Better yet, who doesn't like baked mac n cheese? It's a classic comfort food. Once the seasons change and the temperature begins to drop, we start craving more comforting foods. By "we," I don't just mean Rachel and me, but I mean all of us. It's an actual, biological thing. Growing up, it was something we always had at Thanksgiving and a few other special occasions, but being that it's so rich, it was not ever frequent. Typical baked mac n chee

Mexican-Style Zoodles

We’re kind of obsessed with zoodles (a.k.a zucchini noodles). Some variation of zoodles gets made for dinner nearly every week, because it’s just such a quick, easy, nutritious meal to make; a Bare staple. We’ve got several recipe ideas for zucchini noodles here on the blog, just search “zoodles” in the search bar, or click the links within this post. We have our Italian-Style zoodle recipe with a vegan cashew “alfredo” sauce, or our Asian-Style zoodle recipe with sweet chili

Salmon Burgers with Sweet Potato Fries and Avocado Lime Dipping Sauce

When we’ve seen recipes for homemade burgers in the past, they’ve always been either too complicated, time consuming, or not very healthy. We decided to make a homemade salmon burger that’s quick, easy, doesn’t require a lot ingredients, and is dairy and gluten free (most recipes out there are stuffed with cheese or have bread crumbs or panko). Instead we stuffed them with red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro and used almond flour instead of bread crumbs... and DANG did these tu

Carrot + Lentil Coconut Curry with Cauliflower Rice

So, it still is hitting 90 degrees most days, but nonetheless, it’s October and that just tends to make me want more warm and cozy foods. This curry gives all the comforting feels, yet it’s still super light and clean. Using cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice is a good way to make the dish a little less heavy. We also used lite coconut milk and water for the “broth,” once again, so it isn’t so rich. Lentils are the main component of substance, making this dinner a g

Butternut Squash Chickpea Pasta with Pistachios and Thyme

The most satisfying plant based dinner there ever was. Chickpea penne in a sauce of thyme roasted butternut squash, dusted with pistachios. We've got all of the comforting goodness with none of the guilt. The chickpea pasta contains one ingredient-- chickpeas (we use Tolerant brand). This means it's got lots of protein, making it a much better option than traditional pasta which only offers you refined carbs. The sauce is creamy and delicious, but with none of the cream. Inst

Mango Jalapeno Snapper with Coconut Lime Rice

Summer is in full effect. We personally love the heat and all that comes with it-- hanging by the pool, getting some sun, and being barefoot every chance we get. One of our favorite parts, though? All of the seasonal produce! Seriously. Summer fruits and veggies are THE BEST (melons and pineapples, we're talking to you!). We also are a huge fan of listening to our bodies and being in sync with nature, and what we tend to want in the Summer time is that juicy, sweet produce th

Spring is here and Summer is upon us, which means, grilling time (yessss). All of the delicious herbs are coming into season, and right now, we are all about spicing up our dishes with those. When the warmer months come around there are lots of "grilling out by the pool" moments, and while many of us would love to have a greasy cheeseburger, that just doesn't go well with the lean poolside bods we're going for. Of course you can indulge once in a while when that craving reall

We want to make sure we are getting tons of veggies in at dinner time (and all the time), so we serve this up with a Chopped Salad that pairs great with the tacos. When you hear tacos you may immediately associate them as "unhealthy." Think again. We love taking classic, feel-good meals and creating super healthy, yet satisfying alternatives for them.

Italian-Style Zoodles with Vegan "Alfredo" Sauce

Bare Nutrition was founded by two Italian sisters, so it’s only natural that we develop some healthy Italian-inspired recipes. We’d love to eat pasta and garlic bread and have cannolis for dessert, but realistically, our bodies don’t want or need that. We’ve talked about zucchini noodles a time or two, and that’s because they are a Bare Staple meal. We make them all the time, for one, because they are so versatile, so you never get bored with them (check out our Asian-Inspire
