A summer favorite with a protein twist. Cobbler is a summer classic. It is a crowd pleaser. Cobbler can be as simple as just a few ingredients. When you use fruit that is in season, there is no need for any extra sugar. The crumbly topping is where you can get creative. I have used cookie dough and I must say, its mighty delicious. I opted for a twist on the classic oat topping. While there still is oats on top, I blended them with one of my favorite protein bars. This crumbl

Bite-sized Nutella. When I am really hungry, I tend to grab for whatever is most convenient. I love to make healthy, delicious and satisfying convenient. I never regret taking the time to prep snacks and treats that are filled with delicious and nourishing ingredients. I am a big snacker and always feel better, both physically and mentally, when I know I am giving my body fuel to satisfy my hunger and power through my day. This mindful kind of snacking should be yummy! I lov

Hear me out on this one. I cannot take credit for this genius recipe. I adapted it from my friend Maddie Miles and have literally had it the past three days. That never happens. It is the perfect amount sweet and the smooth and thick consistency is easy to digest. Prep this the night before and you will not regret it! You can top it just how you would any oatmeal, smoothie or yogurt bowl. Mhmmm. Ingredients 1/2 cup nut milk (I used cashew) 1/3 cup plain coconut yogurt 2 Tbsp

Anything with multiple sources of chocolate...and coconut. There are definitely two distinct parties when it comes to cookies. Crunchy and chewy. I may be biased as the recipe developer and cookie-consumer, but I think there is a time and place for both. Growing up, I was team Chips Ahoy all the way. I never loved the soft frosted sugar cookies that everyone seemed to have for their birthday celebrations. Don't get me wrong, I love sinking my teeth into a chewy cookie. But, I

Loaded with chocolate chips and walnuts for a crunch in every bite. I found the coolest loaf pan and just had to break it in! This is no dry zucchini bread - none of those please! Moist, chewy, crunchy and perfectly sweet. Only the good things. My only suggestion is that you double this recipe so it lasts longer. I am licking my fingers as I type this. You're going to want to try this one right away. You can omit the walnuts and chocolate chips if you'd like. I think its grea

The banana bread saga continues. The beginning of the pandemic was all about baking. I never had a sourdough starter, but I did hop on the banana bread train. Whenever I see spotty bananas, I take it as the universe telling me to bake something. You can make all sorts of things with ripe bananas (I have some recipes on my website), but sometimes you just need a traditional banana bread. I always put my own twist on things. I made a few mini banana breads this time around. The

I had a similar salad for dinner last night at Erewhon and had to re-create! I believe Erewhon called this the Tibetan Super Salad (I could be wrong) and it is delicious. This was in their cold salad case and the leafy greens, along with toppings, had been marinating in the tangy dressing. I couldn't get it out of my head so I figured I should just make it myself. I added avocado because healthy fats are always a good idea. This salad is crunchy, tangy and super satisfying. A

Chocolate chips galore. The ratio of chocolate chips to dough is up to you! Nothing beats a warm chocolate chip cookie. These cookies are grain-free and refined sugar free. Sink your teeth into these chewy bites of goodness. The ratio of chocolate chips to dough is up to you. I always top with more chocolate chips to seal the deal. The cassava flour and almond butter make for a very satisfying cookie. They are packed with chocolate chips and finished off with flakey salt. Mak

Sweetened with all of nature's candies. When life gives you lots of strawberries, you bake something with them. These muffins are sweet, moist and super spongey. They are vegan, gluten-free and refined-sugar free. Bite right in or slice them up with butter, jam or nut butter. This recipe can be used as a guideline and adjusted as you see fit. You could substitute apple sauce for the apples for another delicious fruit combination. Theres plenty of room for customization - add

Major vacation vibes right in your kitchen. I know its (coco)nuts but there is nothing fishy about this ceviche! It does have all the refreshing features and should be enjoyed the same way. The coconut takes the place of fish and is absolutely delicious. I added mango here as well so you can skip the mango salsa. All you need are some chips, a cold beverage and a vacation state of mind. Ingredients 1 1/2 cup cubed coconut meat 1/2 cup grape tomatoes 1/2 cup cucumber 1/4 cup g

Crunchy protein inside with a crisp cacao If it's covered in chocolate, count me in. I love grab-and-go fuel. A lot of the protein bars and protein snacks at the store are packed with sugars and other unnecessary ingredients. Once you see how simple these are, you can try making your own. These truffles have wholesome ingredients that you can recognize and your body will too. Ingredients 1/2 cup dark chocolate coconut spread 1/2 cup almond flour 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut sh

Give your mom the gift of superfoods with berry flowers! Berry banana goodness. This combination is one of my favorites. I’ve partnered up with two of my friends and amazing women founders for a giveaway! This bowl is complete with Nurana’s Balance Super Powder and Akasha’s Gold Sea Moss Gel. Together, these make for a creamy and nutrient-packed smoothie bowl. Cheers to all the mothers and mother-figures in our life! Ingredients 1/2 frozen banana 1/2 cup frozen riced cauliflo

Anything in bowl form, please. I am a huge fan of bowls. Smoothie bowls, burrito bowls, taco bowls and nourish bowls. Start with a grain, add some greens, throw in some veggies, top with some healthy fats, a crunch and a drizzle of something delicious. The formula works every time. If you meal prep, this is a great way to use everything together. The dressing seals the deal and helps everything to go together. Bowl Brown rice Black beans Kabocha squash Lettuce Pickled cabbag

Cozy is always in season. The instant pot is up there with my Vitamix as my favorite kitchen appliance. It is just SO easy. I was super intimidated at first with the whole pressurization and thought of something exploding. I am happy to report that there have been no such explosions! Soup usually requires a lot of time and patience. If you are like me and often start dinner when you're already super hungry... instant pot. Your soup is ready in less than 15 minutes! I am still

The best part of this single serve trend is that you don’t have to share! Think crispy on the outside and soft and crumbly on the inside. When there is just one cookie, you've got to eat it while it's warm. Once you have the proportions down, using different flours and add-ins will result in an array of cookies. I have tried a double chocolate chip, this maca goodness and I think a tropical white chocolate macadamia nut cookie is next. I love using my favorite chocolate bar i

It's smoothie season baby! I have been meaning to put fresh basil in my smoothies for quite some time now. I am so glad I did... wow. It is very subtle but the combination of berries and and basil is so fresh. It is something fun and summery just like adding berries to a salad! The best part about smoothies are that they are completely customizable. I always begin my creations by taking inventory of what I have. I didn't have frozen berries, but I did have a pack of freeze dr

You'll love these baked oats so MATCHa. Your daily dose of matcha in spoonable form... plus chocolate. Stovetop oats are always great but it is fun to change things up. Baked oats have this delicious, slightly crunchy top and a soft center. I love loading them up with protein or adaptogens because they mix in so well. You can add nuts, seeds, berries or chocolate! The options are endless! It does take 30 minutes to bake, but the prep is 2 minutes tops! Make them and bake them

Light, refreshing and packed with flavor. I am always looking for new ways to salad. I love when salads are all chopped up into more of a slaw. This summery slaw is crunchy and colorful. You can add whatever else you'd like and top it off with some seeds and your choice of protein. I suggest you make a big batch of this to use as a component of bowls, a side for dinner or a mindful snack. Ingredients 1 cup cooked quinoa 1 cup shredded cabbage 1/2 cup shredded carrot 1/2 cup s

There is just something about a pancake breakfast that sets the tone for the day HOPPY Easter. These pancakes can be made into lots of fun shapes. My grandpa used to write our names using pancake mix, it was seriously impressive! These pancakes are packed with protein and will fuel you for whatever festivities are to follow. If you want to make this recipe into waffles (I feel you, I LOVE waffles), simply add in 1 Tbsp or so of melted coconut oil. Pro tip: pancakes make a gre

Sugar-free sugar cookies. Still sweet as can be and completely guilt-free! Sugar cookies can be tailored for any occasion. It sure is easy to grab for the twistable pre-made dough container, but I promise this recipe is simple! The ingredients are very minimal but the smell and taste is not lacking! The key to the sugar cookie is the constancy of the batter. You must be able to form a ball and then roll it out! Grab your cookie cutters and see how many you can cut before you
