Spiced Nuts

Nuts are such a simple thing to snack on throughout the week. It’s one of my go-to snacks like hummus or energy balls. They’re kind of boring by themselves so I try to switch up the flavor when I season them up. You can put whatever spice or herb you want on the nut mixture….

Chocolate Pudding

This chocolate pudding is seriously better than a Snack Pack. I used to eat a Snack Pack nearly every day as a kid. We’d top them with some Oreos and add in some gummy worms and it was the best dirt and worms ever. This variation is actually good for you. The chocolate taste comes from cacao…

Spaghetti Squash with Beet Sauce

Anything with beets just amazes me. The color is so vibrant and luxurious. You’ve heard me say similar things before if you’ve read my beet hummus blog. Plus, you cannot beat the flavor of beets! Seriously. Mix them with spaghetti squash and you’ll be sure to enjoy a fantastic meal. I used the leftover sauce on…

Carrot Cake Oatmeal

I’ve been called “The Oatmeal Girl” lately for my creations with rolled and steel cut oats. Sometimes I throw them in a crock pot, others I make right then and there. Overnight oats are simple too because you can just put them in a jar in the refrigerator and they’re ready the next day. Energy…

Almond Meal

I started making my own almond milk a few years ago and haven’t turned back since. Blending up a batch decreases your waste consumption, increases the freshness, and gives you the ability to know exactly what is going into your body. For a while, I didn’t really know what the heck to do with all…

Goji Berry, Cashew Butter, Oat Energy Balls

Goji berries are such a fun treat to add into your diet. Goji berries contain one of the highest antioxidant levels of any food on the planet! They create a sense of grounding energy and mental well being. You can eat them by themselves but they’re really delicious in energy balls. You can use any…

Hemp Hearts

Hemp Heart Benefits

I have a passion for smoothie bowls and I like to top them with chia seeds, hemp seeds, and more! Adding hemp hearts give that extra kick to keep my energy going before my mid-morning snack. The hemp seeds come from the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa. They are actually a nut and have a nutty…

Carrot Cake Energy Balls

Energy balls are a go-to for my weekly routine. I have made some almond date balls or chocolate date power bars. This week, I opted for the carrot cake energy balls and boy, do they taste like a scrumptious treat! Shredding the carrots is a bit of a trick but once you get past that, they’re a piece…

Almond Milk

I probably will never buy almond milk again. It’s the easiest thing to make! It only has two ingredients, water and almonds. Can you believe that? It’s a great way to add some liquid to your smoothie bowls for a healthier alternative to juices! You can also put it into your oatmeal. Almonds are actually…
