O, French Toast. I think I’ve finally conquered humanity’s biggest struggle with French toast. We’ve discussed the whole “soggy bread” thing multiple times on Strength and Sunshine, so you know my feelings about it. But wait! We never have to deal with subpar French toast EVER again! We all can reclaim French toast as “TOAST” and now soggy, mushy, squares of sadness! Crisp and ready to be dosed with maple syrup (the only thing that should have the ability to make French toast soggy).Read More

A homemade candy bar recipe that couldn’t be easier! 4-Ingredient Homemade Mounds Bars! This copycat coconut and chocolate treat is gluten-free, vegan, paleo, top-8 allergy-free, much healthier without the junk, but still delicious!

Homemade candy always has a special place in my heart. Actually, candy (period) has a special place in my heart. I was never a big candy eater, but I did have my favorites that I always enjoyed on those “candy-centered” holidays like Halloween, Easter, Valentine’s day. You could always please me with an Almond Joy or Mounds bar. Chocolate-covered, sticky sweet coconut? Yes, please, I will gladly accept!Read More

A satiating and hunger-crushing recipe for the best Vegan Coconut Coffee Breakfast Shake! When you’re rushing out the door, but still need morning fuel to keep you going all day, this gluten-free, healthy high fat, sneaky protein smoothie is just what you need (with a caffeine kick)!

I hear it all the time, “There’s no time for breakfast!” or “I don’t eat breakfast”. INSANITY! One of the most important things for productivity and focus is to eat (or drink) some breakfast. It doesn’t have to be the exact moment you wake-up. I typically eat breakfast about 4 hours after I’ve risen for the day and gotten my workout and some work done.Read More

Vegan Coconut Fudgesicles (Gluten-Free, Allergy-Free, Paleo)

July 19, 2017 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 91 Comments

A super easy frozen dessert for when you need a healthy chocolate indulgence! Vegan Coconut Fudgesicles that are also gluten-free, top 8 allergy-free, paleo, and even sugar-free! This 4 ingredient recipe can be whipped up in a snap and the only hard part is waiting for them to freeze!

Did you grow-up with some fudgesicles in the freezer? They were something I always remember finding in there (along with the ice cream!) They were so creamy and chocolatly and…well, delicious! Not to mention, full of processed sugars and oils! However, one “low-fat” fudgesicle (the ones we always had) was only 60 calories, but if you went with the “sugar-free” ones, they were 80 calories a pop! The original ones are 100 calories…that’s weird. Sugar-free marketing nonsense!Read More

A sweet and toasty snacking cake for breakfast, brunch, or dessert! This Mango Snack Cake with Toasted Coconut Crumb recipe is whole grain, gluten-free, vegan, and top 8 allergy-free! The fun tropical flavors of mango and coconut result in a delicious baked tropical treat!

Cake and tropical goodness? Yes, please! I know, I know, I’m going to tell you to turn your oven on (now at the end of June), but I promise this mango snack cake is worth it! As you know, I am all about coffee cakes and that delectable crumb topping! I mean, who isn’t? When I spy a baked good with a crumb top, I am SO there! This “crumble” is a bit different though. Nothing classic about it, but more than delicious! Shredded coconut that’s been toasted and then tossed with some coconut milk and Swerve to make it “crumble-approved”!Read More
