Tiger Nut Lemon Cheesecake Bars (AIP, Nut & Dairy Free)

Tiger Nut Lemon Cheesecake Bars are rich & creamy with a hint of tartness and tiger nut crunch. The perfect cheesecake recipe if you’re following an AIP, plant-based, nut or dairy free diet.

DID YOU KNOW? Tiger nuts are recommended for healthy skin, weight management, and fertility—all because of vitamin E!

One serving of tiger nuts provides you with 278% of the daily recommended value–that’s 3mg of vitamin E!

Vitamin E is important to our health due to its powerful antioxidant properties that may help reduce free radical damage and slow the aging process of your cells.

Free radicals not only weaken and break down healthy cells, but these molecules may also contribute to heart disease and cancer.

It’s important to have a diet rich in antioxidants to protect yourself from oxidative damage over time, and tiger nuts are a great source of antioxidants.

Lemon Scallop Salad (AIP, Paleo, Keto)

Lemon Scallop Salad (AIP, Paleo, Keto)

This Lemon Scallop Salad is a light and fresh salad recipe! It’s easy and quick to prepare with simple ingredients like scallops, arugula and lemon. Enjoy this delicious AIP, paleo & keto salad for lunch or dinner.

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between raw extra virgin coconut oil and expeller-pressed coconut oil?

The main difference is that expeller-pressed coconut oil is more heat stable making it safer for cooking at medium to high temperatures. It’s also flavourless and odorless, so you won’t get a coconut taste or smell infused into your food.

I usually recommend expeller-pressed coconut oil for cooking and baking. Raw extra virgin coconut oil is best used in smoothies, raw/no-bake desserts and snacks.

DID YOU KNOW? The MCFA (medium chain fatty acids) in coconut oil boost your metabolism and help your body use fat for energy, which can lead to weight loss, an increase in energy, accelerated healing and improved immunity.

What you need for Lemon Scallop Salad:

  • Dry sea scallops
  • Arugula
  • Coconut oil
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Lemon
  • Herbes de Provence (or other spices of choice)

Feel free to swap out herbes de Provence for different spices or herbs. Thyme, tarragon, parsley, chives and basil pair nicely with scallops.
