Team Treat Idea

Living a healthy lifestyle off the ice is important. Good food choices and exercise are key ingredients in prolonged on ice success, but occasionally a little treat makes all the difference. Hockey players know how to party, and for women, the dessert table is a team favorite. A few months ago, I attended an end of the season party and watched one of my teammates stare longingly at the dessert table; yet not partaking. Later I found out that she has a variety of allergies, eggs and dairy included. That being said, when I received an invite to our hockey-centric cookout this past weekend, I decided to do what a hockey player does best and help a teammate in need by making a dessert that everyone could enjoy.

After searching and trying various recipes on the internet, this beauty looked and later tasted absolutely perfect! Introducing “Vegan” Carrot Cake Cupcakes, guaranteed hit for any hockey fan or player in the league.
