This Anti-inflammatory Lemon Cake is a zesty, nourishing treat that proves dessert can be both indulgent and supportive of your health. Made without grains or dairy, it fits perfectly into anti-inflammatory, gut-friendly lifestyles and is ideal for anyone avoiding common allergens without compromising on flavor or texture.

Lemon is the star ingredient here, bringing a bright, refreshing flavor and a wealth of natural benefits.

What makes this Anti-inflammatory Lemon Cake truly special is its clean ingredient profile. By avoiding grains and dairy, this cake reduces the potential for gut irritation and bloating, making it a great option for people with sensitivities or those following an anti-inflammatory diet. Instead, nutrient-dense ingredients are used to provide a satisfying texture and subtly sweet flavor that nourishes the body and delights the palate.

This anti-inflammatory lemon cake is perfect for special occasions, everyday treats, or a healthier afternoon pick-me-up. It pairs beautifully with herbal tea and can be topped with coconut yogurt or fresh berries for an elegant finish.

Light, lemony, and naturally gluten-free, it’s a cake that supports your wellness goals while satisfying your sweet tooth. Enjoy a slice knowing you’re fueling your body with ingredients that promote balance, reduce inflammation, and taste incredible.

This chia pudding is not only a delicious tropical treat but also a powerhouse of anti-aging and anti-inflammatory benefits. As with all EBS recipes, you can rest assured that this chia pudding is doing wonders for slowing down aging, reducing chronic inflammation, and supporting overall health. The carefully selected ingredients work synergistically to help you feel and look incredible.

The collagen in this chia pudding supports your hair, nails, skin, bones, gut lining, and connective tissues. Regular consumption of collagen helps to maintain youthful skin, improve elasticity, and support joint health. For more information on why collagen is so essential, check out our article, “Why I Use Collagen.”

Chia seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for cardiovascular health, a strong immune system, and proper brain function. These omega-3s help regulate blood pressure, improve blood clotting, and enhance glucose tolerance, while also fighting inflammation in the body. To learn more about the importance of omega-3s, explore our article, “Do We All Need Omega-3?

Even the desiccated coconut in this recipe has its benefits. It helps transport oxygen in your blood and stores oxygen in muscle tissue for later use. This adds to the overall energy-boosting properties of the pudding, making it a great addition to your daily routine.

This chia pudding is creamy, tropical goodness that not only satisfies your taste buds but nourishes your body and mind, leaving you feeling rejuvenated from the inside out.

Stewed apples are more than just a comforting, naturally sweet treat—they’re a powerful support for digestive health. When apples are gently cooked, they release a type of soluble fiber called pectin, which acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria and promoting a balanced gut microbiota.

Pectin also helps to regulate bowel movements by softening the stool and soothing the digestive tract, making stewed apples excellent for constipation relief and digestive comfort. Their gentle nature makes them ideal for sensitive stomachs or when recovering from gut imbalances or illness.

Apples also contain polyphenols, natural compounds that have been shown to support the gut lining, reduce inflammation, and improve intestinal barrier function—all of which are essential for anyone dealing with IBS, bloating, or leaky gut symptoms.

Stewing the apples makes them easier to digest than raw, reducing the digestive load and increasing their soothing properties. Add cinnamon for extra anti-inflammatory and blood-sugar-balancing benefits.

Enjoy them warm on their own, stirred into porridge, or with a dollop of coconut yogurt for a satisfying snack or breakfast that supports both digestion and immune health.

You can have it with 2-ingredient Coconut Yogurt or almond butter for extra nutrition and yumminess!

This Pecan Pie is a wholesome, indulgent dessert that’s completely free from refined sugar, grains, and dairy—but still packed with deep, caramelized flavor and a perfectly nutty crunch.

Pecans are the star of the show, and they’re far more than just delicious. Rich in monounsaturated fats, fiber, vitamin E, and powerful antioxidants, pecans help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. They’ve been shown to support heart health, brain function, and cholesterol balance—all while being naturally low in carbs and high in nutrients.

Instead of traditional corn syrup, this recipe uses natural sweeteners like maple syrup or dates, which contain anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic properties along with important minerals such as manganese and zinc. These alternatives provide the rich sweetness you expect from pecan pie—without spiking blood sugar or burdening your body.

The grain-free crust is made with almond flour or ground nuts, adding another boost of protein, healthy fats, and gut-friendly fiber. No gluten means better digestion and less inflammation, especially for those with sensitivities.

Every ingredient in this anti-inflammatory pecan pie is selected with gut health and immune system support in mind. It’s a beautiful example of how you don’t need to compromise flavor to eat in a way that supports your health.

Perfect for holidays or cozy evenings, this gut-healthy dessert satisfies sweet cravings while nourishing your body at the same time.

Happy, healing Thanksgiving!

This creamy, dreamy Chocolate Banana Nice Cream is not only a delicious treat but also packed with benefits for your gut, immune system, and overall health.

Made from simple, wholesome ingredients, it’s gentle on the stomach and naturally soothing, thanks to the antacid properties of bananas. Bananas help protect the stomach lining and may reduce the risk of ulcers by eliminating harmful bacteria that can cause them.

Rich in natural prebiotics, bananas also help feed beneficial gut bacteria, supporting a healthier, more balanced microbiome. A well-functioning gut means better nutrient absorption, reduced inflammation, and stronger immune defenses—making this dessert a smart, feel-good choice.

Maple syrup adds natural sweetness and is a source of immune-supporting zinc, which plays a key role in wound healing, respiratory health, and men’s health. It also contains phenolic compounds, which, alongside the flavonoids in raw cacao, deliver powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

The cacao in this nice cream doesn’t just add a rich chocolate flavor—it also supports heart health, brain function, and mood thanks to its magnesium and theobromine content. Paired with bananas, this dessert is a potassium powerhouse, great for lowering blood pressure, protecting the heart, and supporting healthy bones.

Whether enjoyed as a midday pick-me-up or a post-dinner treat, Chocolate Banana Nice Cream is a nourishing and indulgent way to boost your wellbeing with every spoonful.

It’s proof that desserts can be both delicious and deeply supportive of your health.
