    Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Dip

    Sep 17, 2014 • Festive/Holidays, Luteal Phase, Snacks, Sweets

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Pumpkin Pie "Cheesecake" Dip. Guilt-free, Vegan, and Gluten-Free. The perfect dip for the Fall season! Dip apples in for a snack or chocolate/cookies in for a creamy dessert. From The Glowing Fridge.

     

    The pumpkins have been catching my eye.. and I’ve been itching to make something very fall-ish and pumpkin-y!! Ya know what I mean?! I went to Jewel yesterday and they have bins upon bins of pumpkins, gourds and that fun colorful corn. They also had some really strange looking pumpkins with weird funny-looking bumps…? Jewel has stepped up their game! At least the Jewel closest to my house. I still would rather shop at Mariano’s but Jewel is closer.. at least they started offering more organic produce!

    I picked up 3 mini pumpkins for my pictures, 2 orange and 1 white. I can’t resist the baby pumpkins. Its a bit early to buy a big pumpkin to carve/decorate. Right? It is only mid-September. But who am I kidding.. I’ll probably buy one this weekend and then have to buy another before Halloween 😉

    Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Dip. Vegan, gluten-free and basically guilt-free. Dip apples or graham crackers in this creamy goodness for a snack. Be bad and dip chocolate or cookies in for dessert. Or just grab a spoon because you will want to. This recipe does not have vegan cream cheese. I tried that sh*t once and will never do it again. Maybe I tried the wrong brand… is it just me? I don’t know but something was not right! I used raw cashews instead which always work nicely for that cheesecake flavor. This dip is a party in your mouth and has just enough sweetness to cut out the bitterness of the pumpkin. I’ll be bringing this to a party along with my Game Day Snack Mix. I’m already thinking this would be amazing on Thanksgiving day too, for a lil dessert feast, maybe?! This Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Dip is a new fall staple over here! I added cinnamon and crushed cashews as a topping.

    I mentioned on Monday that I would share pictures from the Be Healthful event I went to this past Sunday. Sarah Baker (also known as the Balanced Babe) who put the entire event together was kind enough to offer an invite for me and a friend. This was the first event I’ve been invited to, in regards to health and wellness so I was super excited! The event was held at this cool, industrial type venue called Moonlight Studios in the city. My bestie and I started our day in one of the many classes being offered. We learned about canning and preserving seasonal veggies like tomatoes and how to make your own blueberry jam, with free samples, sweet! Next up was the Ayurvedic detoxing class where we learned what ayurveda is all about and how it pertains to women and our cycles – very interesting! After that we walked around all the wellness booths with local spas, juice companies, beauty products, vegan snacks, reflexology, giveaways and more. After sipping on juices and snacking on granola we went back for another class about creating the perfect life along with guided meditation. The speaker definitely opened my eyes about meditation and how life-changing it can be – for reals! I’ve never been into the whole meditation thing but now I am intrigued. Last up was a 25-minute barre class which left me a bit sore the next day but we loved every minute of that feel good burn. Overall it was a relaxing and fun girls day. We had a blast!

    Big thanks to Sarah for putting this event together! Hope you are having a nice week and don’t forget to make this pumpkin pie cheesecake dip – it’s life changing!

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
