The 10 Most Magical, All-Natural Unicorn Recipes

My daughters and I are in love with all things Unicorn especially Unicorn Food.  However, most of the Unicorn Food recipes are made with lots of artificial dyes and flavorings.  So I did some research and have come up with the 10 most magical, all-natural kid-friendly Unicorn Food recipes that are as healthy as they are beautiful.

 

This week on the blog, I’m celebrating all things UNICORN and Believe in a Cure for Breast Cancer.   So of course, I’d be remiss if I didn’t showcase some of my favorite healthy unicorn food ideas.

Unicorn food is sweeping the nation!

For those unfamiliar with this magical food trend, it’s where you create beautiful pastel colored concoctions of your favorite foods like Unicorn ice cream, Unicorn toast, Unicorn lattes, Unicorn energy bites, etc.

Here’s a picture of my daughter enjoying a Unicorn rainbow bagel last week.

 

 

The sky’s the limit!  With a little creativity, you can turn pretty much anything in to unicorn food…even sushi!  (Yes! Sushi! Keep reading for that magical recipe!)

Usually these magical treats are made with loads of food coloring  (as I’m sure was the case with  the unicorn bagel above—ok don’t judge!  I’m definitely not perfect.)

So I’ve scoured the web to find my favorite healthy alternatives which use all natural ingredients such as spirulina, beets, or berries to achieve their magical spell.

Note—some of the recipes do use regular sprinkles, but you can certainly get all-natural sprinkles online or at your favorite health food store, and some of the recipes do use all-natural food coloring.

The 10 Most Magical, All-Natural Unicorn Recipes

Number 1:  Unicorn Toast

Healthy toast is a great choice for a quick breakfast. Pick a hearty, ancient grain rich bread cover it with a power food like avocado or protein rich cheese and you’ve got a satisfying breakfast that will keep you going all morning long!

Now, if you make that all-natural Unicorn toast, like Ashley Rose from Sugar and Cloth, then you’ve got the fixings for a truly magical morning.

Number 2:  Unicorn Chex Mix

Great for a party, family movie night, or even just as an after school snack, this Unicorn Chex Mix from Nicole at Fitful Focus is sure to be a real magical crowd pleaser! Yum!

Nicole from Fitful Focus also created these beautiful Unicorn Energy bites that will definitely give you all the energy you need to slay a dragon or just slay rush hour.  And they’re covered in…Pixie Dust! Whaat?!

Number 5:  Skinny Unicorn Popsicles

My girls love popsicles after school.  I can’t even imagine how excited they would be if we made these healthy,Skinny Unicorn Pops from Amanda at The Skinny Fork. They’re easy to make (just 3 basic ingredients), and I love that they are soy-free!  (Amanda uses the new Nutmilk blend from Silk.  Brilliant!)

Number 6:  Vegan Unicorn Hot Chocolate

This Vegan Unicorn Hot Chocolate from My Berry Forrest almost looks too magical to drink…but No, it’s real and it’s healthy.  Cheers!

 

Number 7:  Vegan Paddle Pop Squares

Although I had never heard of the wondrous deliciousness of Paddle Pops until this article, I now want to run out and buy all the ingredients to make them.  Amrita, from Crazy Vegan Kitchen, created these delectable butterscotch treat bars to bring back the memories of her favorite childhood rainbow ice cream dessert.  Instead of dairy ice cream, she combines vegan ingredients such as Raw Cashews, Soy Milk, Maple Syrup, etc to make these beautiful squares of which only a unicorn would be truly proud.  Click here for the recipe for Vegan Paddle Pop Squares. 

 

Number 8:  Unicorn Bark

This unicorn bark would be a fun idea at holiday time.  With only a healthy ingredients (such as greek yogurt, honey, banana, and strawberries), it’s definitely a great healthier version of the higher calorie traditional treat.

 

Number 9:  Unicorn Sushi Donuts

TWO WORDS… 

UNICORN. SUSHI. 

Whaaat?!

As if these foods couldn’t get more magical…they just did.  Ok, now things are gettin Real up in here, People! 

These awe-inspiring circuitous treats of power-food goodness are not even really donuts!  They’re just healthy servings of rice creatively formed using a donut pan! Whaat?! Brilliant!
