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

Chocolate and cherry are quite the dynamic duo. A layer of chewy cookie followed by cherry jam and a hardshell chocolate top. I would recommend doubling or tripling this recipe. These lasted about two days in my fridge. Not because they went bad...because they were too good. I love discovering new good-for-you cookies. There’s really never a bad time for a cookie. The cherry cookie inspired the rest of this recipe for a triple-layer bar of deliciousness. Base 2 cherry almond

Pineapple make any bowl feel so tropical. Have you tried the pink pineapple? This stuff is even sweeter a little less acidic. I learned that the company that grows these literally remove the stem or any part that can be re-planted. They are running a pink pineapple empire! I always use whatever fresh fruits I have on hand plus lots of frozen fruits and veggies to make my smoothie creamy! I like to top my bowls off with lots of crunchies! Ingredients 1/2 cup pineapple 1 froze

Yogi bowl but make it protein style! I am hooked on my protein fluff bowls. The protein powder mixes so well with the creamy yogurt. It is the perfect base for fruit, granola, nut butter and so much more. It is a great alternative to a smoothie bowl when you are crunched for time, or are feeling something more nutty. You still get all the protein, plus probiotics and healthy fats! I also mix in ground seeds to support my hormones. Did you know that you can sync your cycle to

Protein, fiber and healthy fats. Chocolate coated. There is nothing quite like a truffle. There is something about sinking your teeth into a sweet center that really does it for me. These truffles do that for me. The soft, melt-in-your mouth center just happens to be the perfect balance of dates, almond butter and protein powder. I haven't been able to keep myself out of these. Pre and post workout, snack or dessert - these are the best. The flakey salt makes them feel extra

Layers are just more fun. Sip your smoothie and then enjoy your chia parfait. Or, mix it all together like I do! Chia seeds pack a lot of punch into their tiny size. Chia seeds are a great source of antioxidants, protein, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids and calcium. Chia pudding is a delicious and easy way to enjoy all these benefits. If we are being honest, I never quite measure out my chia seeds or liquid. I believe that 1:3 (chia:liquid) is a good place to start. You can add su

Happy St. Patty's day! Who said you needed a green juice or smoothie to get your morning greens? You can pack all the greens into a stack of pancakes. I grew up having green pancakes on St. Patrick's Day. Right after I collected the coins from my shoes, it was pancake o'clock. I could really use those quarters for parking and laundry! The pancakes were made with love by my mom. I am almost certain that they were not colored with matcha or spirulina. Out with the food dye and

Are you feeling lucky!? Thank you McDonald's for this one. I honestly have never had an official shamrock shake. I make green mint smoothies year round because they are so refreshing. This on was made extra special with St. Patrick's Day in mind. Think thick, creamy and minty. The peppermint extract makes anything taste like a York patty and I am here for it. The coconut milk (canned), banana, avocado and sea moss combo is a creamy dream. I bet I could flip this cup upside do

These are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. What is better than a chocolate no-bake treat? A chocolate no-bake treat with hidden veggies! The sweet potato is the perfect binding agent and the beets add a subtle flavor and a whole lot of color (and nutritional benefits). Enjoy them frozen or warmed up, they are both so good. They are soft and chewy, just how I like my brownies. The crunch of the chocolate chips on top is an added surprise! Ingredients 1 1/2 cup beet granola⁣ (use

The macrobiotic bowl of my dreams. For those of you who aren't familiar with Cafe Gratitude, let me enlighten you. Each of their menu items is given an adjective (whole, Blessed, Comforted, Pure, etc.). When the server gives their spiel, they encourage you to order using that adjective. For example, "I am whole". You may as well have some fun with it! There is also a description underneath if people just aren't into this whole ordering process. My favorite bowl is the "Whole

Muesli sure doesn't get enough credit. Muesli is essentially raw granola. Therefore, there is even more you can do with it! I love muesli with warm nut milk or baked into treats. I recently mixed muesli with nut milk and protein powder and absolutely loved the flavor and consistency. It is the perfect base for all your toppings. Feel free to sweeten it up with maple syrup, honey or date syrup. This would also be so yummy warm! Ingredients 1/2 cup blueberry buckwheat almond mu

This type of swirl brings me right back to summers spent tie dying just about every white item of clothing I owned.This was a convenient "fix" to the fact that I stained everything I owned because food and white clothing just didn't happen with me. I am going to do a little tutorial on this yogurt art very soon (stay tuned!). It is so fun and simple. All you need is something to swirl (creamy nut butter or runny yogurt) and a utensil to do so. On another note, I finally tried

Puréed goodness for a nourished soul. The key to any soup is mirepoix. Yes, the sautéed onions, carrots and celery actually have a fancy name! These “beginnings”, along with spices, are the foundation to any soup. You can add just about anything to soup! You can use water or veggie broth for a lighter version or coconut milk for a thicker sensation. Whole or puréed?! That depends on what you’re putting in it and your preference. I prefer to purée cauliflower. I also use roas

Spoonfuls of greens, protein, fiber and healthy fats. Kiwi is trending right now. I went to go fact check myself on google and learned that there is a bird called kiwi and they are the only birds with nostrils at the end of their beak. There you have it. Kiwis are high in vitamin C and are also a great source of fiber, potassium and antioxidants. I put a whole one in my smoothie because the skin is where a lot of these nutrients live. I still have a hard time eating the skin

A smoothie bowl always wins. I find smoothie bowls to be the best way to add everything I love into one bowl. Fruits, nuts, seeds, veggies, protein, granola, chocolate - you name it! A breakfast is meant to fuel you and I make sure my smoothie bowls do just that. I sneak in some veggies to all my smoothies. I love to add either cauliflower or zucchini (or both). I used zucchini here! I slice up a zucchini with the peel on and steam it. I then transfer the steamed slices to an

Everything you love about golden milk in the palm of your hands. These pull apart bars are finger lickin' good. I suggest you do go ahead and lick your fingers since there's lots of turmeric in there and you don't want to get that on anything :) I used to have pull apart cinnamon roll bread. I loved finding the perfect piece and working at grabbing it without pulling everything apart. You'll want to pull more than one bite of these ones. Imagine the cozy spices you like to si

This isn't fast food, it's good food fast. In all honesty, I don't think I ever dipped my fries in my milkshakes. I really didn't have much fast food growing up. This just sounded really yummy! I have put sweet potato in my smoothie before but this is a whole new level. The crunchy sweet potato fries are the perfect crunchy compliment and make a pretty darn good spoon! This strawberry "milkshake" base is thick and creamy. I am not sure what makes a smoothie a milkshake but I
