Pineapple Coconut Bars
Pineapple and coconut bring the summer vibes — plus, the only appliance you need to make the bars is a blender. Blend dates and walnuts to create a smooth paste for the crust, then combine the coconut and fresh pineapple for the filling. Go out and enjoy the sunshine while the bars set in the freezer, et voila!

Five-Ingredient Chocolate Chia Pudding
Five ingredients to a satisfying dessert? Yes, please. The chia seeds can work their gelling magic in 10 minutes for those who want to try the blueberry-chocolate puddings ASAP. Alternatively, the puddings can be kept in the fridge overnight for a no-fuss breakfast.

Chocolate Hemp Date Fudge
A double dose of hemp (hemp seeds and hemp chocolate powder) provide fatty acids and antioxidants. The superfood ingredients get whirled in a blender with tahini and dates to create that perfect fudgey consistency. For a summery spin, cut the fudge into tiny chunks and fold it into ice cream (pro tip: It goes great with frozen bananas).
