Dairy Free Cream Cheese Jalapeño Poppers Recipe (in the Ninja Foodi)

Getting Personal

Along with eating clean and trying to keep my family eating healthy I also see a nutritionist. To make a long story short he runs a full blood panel and can see where my body is lacking things or has an abundance etc. Then we take this info and use food as a sort of medicine to address any issues. For example, my thyroid is a mess, my glutamine is extremely low, and my hormones are a mess. To keep it simple, my current diet now includes more cashews and less almonds. More pork, and less chicken. I’ve learned that zucchini and squash are loaded with glutamine, which is why you may find many zucchini recipes on my site. I also love to use my Ninja Foodi, because it simply makes things a bit easier. 

Clean Eating Basic

I like to mention that this is a clean eating recipe because I am all about eating healthy and clean eating. If you are new to a clean eating way of life then you need to check out Everything You Need to Know about a Clean Eating Diet. You can also see how I lost 50 lbs and am keeping it off by following a clean eating diet here: How I Lost 50 Lbs Clean Eating. I tend to try different things and mix different flavors to keep meals healthy and tasty. Personally, I find the the quality of your ingredients are just as important as the ingredients themself. 

How to Make the Best Jalapeño Poppers 

Ingredients:

As always, let’s start by gathering our ingredients. When choosing veggies I always aim for organic. The same goes for herbs and spices. In the case of this bacon wrapped jalapeño popper recipe we will be using organic jalapeños and nitrate free bacon with no sugar added.

When it comes to the cream cheese, we are using dairy free cream cheese. This is a cashew based cream cheese and tastes great.

If you can’t find cashew cream cheese, go ahead and use any plant based cream cheese of your choice. This almond milk based cream cheese is another favorite.

Preparing Your Bacon Wrapped Jalapeños with Cream Cheese for the Ninja Foodi

1. First, clean and cut your jalapeños in half and remove the seeds and vein. 
2. Cut each of the bacon slices in half.
3. Fill each jalapeño half with your dairy free cream cheese.
4. Wrap your stuffed jalapeños with bacon. A half of slice of bacon should be plenty for each stuffed jalapeño half. 
5. It’s a good idea to use a toothpick to keep the bacon in place, as it will shrink as it cooks. 
6. Place the bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños on the rack for the Ninja Food.

If you don’t have a Ninja Foodi or an air fryer you can just as easily cook your jalapeño poppers in the oven at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes for similar results.
