 Coconut Chocolate Pudding with Pomegranate Seeds
Pomegranate seeds are a rich source of a type of polyphenol known as ellagitannin, which studies show increase the specific gut bacteria Akkermansia muciniphila. Akker who? If you haven’t heard about these little guys that live in your gut (if you are lucky - we don’t all host them) its a species that is associated with lower rates of obesity, improved glucose metabolism and lower inflammation in the body. There is no better time of year to incorporate these gems into your diet than now, when they are in season and add such a festive finish to the table. Try them on this rich and decadent dairy free pudding- delicious is an understatement.

Brussel Sprouts with Pomegranate and Pine Nuts

The colors alone in this holiday-worthy side dish are enough to draw you to want to try it, but the flavor combination is also delicious and unique. When shredded and roasted in the oven, brussel sprouts develop a nice caramelized texture, which pairs well with the soft sweet flavor of the pine nuts. Throw in the juicy vitamin C rich seed jewels from the pomegranate and now we are talking about an anti oxidant rich flavor explosion!

 Chocolate Chip White Bean Blondies
There are so many reasons I love this chocolate chip white bean blondie treat I am not sure where to begin! Any recipe that takes 5 minutes to assemble is usually a keeper in my kitchen. The recipe features cannelloni beans, which with their high fiber and plant based prebiotic proteins will provide good clean energy and not spike blood sugar the way most treats would. The salty finish combined with the dark chocolate chip also give that oh so satisfying fix after a meal.
