Loves!! It’s time for some easy, homemade, vegan, healthy blender BBQ sauce!
This week’s recipe is brought to you by one of my dear friends who is also a FANTASTIC nutritionist. Suzanne Pirkle is a gifted female- and you know how I feel about supporting the amazing creative women we have in this world- and she has BLESSED us with a month full of healthy, fun recipes to feed you and your family! So make sure you check out her site for more info!
Starting with this fantastic barbecue sauce. Oh, and you don’t EVEN have to turn on a stove to make it. YOU MAKE IT IN A BLENDER. It’s as simple as pouring your ingredients and blending. Brilliant! Plus, you may already have all of these things on hand! (Especially if you are like me and find that you can put applesauce in pretty much anything to make it taste great).
Why, might you ask, would I make this homemade? One- it tastes amazing. But two- a lot of the barbecue sauces you find in the store have sugar or high fructose corn syrup listed as one of the first ingredients (some even, according to Suzanne, have modified food starch). So this way you can make your own, it’s super simple, and it has all the good stuff in it!
Also- you guys- have you subscribed to the Luv Cooks YouTube channel yet? If you haven’t, you TOTALLY should, so you can stay up to date on all of these fantastic barbecue recipes as they are released! This month we will have a TWO ingredient slow cooker BBQ chicken, plus FIVE different ways you can eat that chicken in a week! So get ready, ’cause it’s going to be a barbecue party around these parts!
