Here is the perfect cookie to share with friends and loved ones during these hot summer days!
My Vegan Creamsicle Coconut Cookies are 100% vegan, gluten-free and are naturally sweetened from the dates and maple syrup. Top that off with the crunch from coconut flakes, the heartiness from the oats and the aromatic orange zest and you’ve got a simply awesome treat- and without the beauty busting white flour, refined sugar, dairy and improperly combined ingredients.
Yep, I got you! :)
Why Vegan?
As we know, most cookies found on the market include many Beauty Food no-no’s, such as— milk, eggs, white sugar and/or agave nectar and white flour.
I personally am 100% plant-based and do not eat any animal products at all. I do not believe there is any nutritional reason to include animal protein in your diet, and I believe that a plant-based diet is cleaner, more energizing, healthier and will support your natural beauty. But you can still include some animal products if you choose to, and follow Beauty Detox. The key is to eat a larger percentage of nutrient-dense plant foods and smaller portion sizes of meat.
Many of you may still be transitioning from your previous diets to the Beauty Detox guidelines and may want to use eggs as a personal preference— although in this recipe you’ll find I use Ener-G egg replacer.
Don’t forget to add these babies to your Pinterest Snack & Dessert board and satisfy anyone’s sweet-tooth! ;)

Enjoy, and let me know how you do!
In love and health,
