What are you munching on while home all day during quarantine? I’m trying to stick to my regular eating schedule, but that has always and probably always will include snacks 😊 This is my go-to quick, easy homemade granola recipe and I’m trying to keep a big batch of it around for when I need something slightly sweet and crunchy! It’s the perfect snack with fruit or yogurt and of course as a nutritious homemade breakfast cereal.

Store bought granola is typically full of sugar and honestly at this point it’s much more…

Healthy 2 Ingredient Pancakes (Paleo, Whole 30, Grain-free, Gluten-free, Dairy-free)

It’s no secret. Pancakes are not a health food. But they do tend to be a weekend staple for many and really, who doesn’t love pancakes for breakfast (or maybe even brinner)! I love them too but am going to take a pass on the fluffy, empty carb, processed flour version these days. Traditional pancakes may taste delicious, but it’s like a glycemic bomb goes off right there at the breakfast table, and your body takes the hit. Spiking your blood sugar with processed flour and sugar is not a good idea first thing in the morning….

Chia pudding. You love it or you hate it. Or you just haven’t tried this recipe yet!! Seriously, if you think you’re not a fan of chia, this might change your mind! It’s not your run of the mill, bland chia pudding, because who would want to eat that?

I personally love chia pudding for a quick, easy, make-ahead breakfast, and of course, the health benefits. And this is my very favorite version, maybe because it tastes like dessert!

It’s very rich, but not overly sweet, due to the full-fat coconut milk and very berry compote, which is bursting with natural…

If you grew up eating Cream of Wheat (and liked it, like I did!), but don’t do gluten anymore you’re going to love oat bran! It totally reminds me of Cream of Wheat, in both texture and taste and this is my go-to when I want a warm breakfast bowl to nourish my body and kick off my day.

Unlike most grain-based breakfasts which can contribute to inflammation and spike blood sugar, oat bran has a blood sugar stabilizing effect to keep you off the blood sugar roller-coaster ride that can wreak havoc with your energy, moods, hormones and just…

Oh my. I want to tell you to just get in your car. Head to the store. Buy the ingredients for this smoothie. And make it. Now.

It is that good!

Not only is it delicious, but it nourishes and satisfies in the way that only a dessert-like “milk-shaky” protein smoothie can do. Because it’s got a good combo of protein, fat and natural sweetness, it will fill you up, satisfy sugar cravings and give you tons of energy to power through your day!

Cashews are one of the best ways to add creamy richness to many recipes, and work incredibly well in…

Rise and shine or…

Wake up and nourish!

I’m typically a green smoothie girl, but this smoothie is so incredibly good (and nourishing) that lately it’s the only way to go for me. It’s my current favorite and I just can’t stop making it. Plus it’s a delicious way to get your coffee and breakfast down in one glass, saving time and energy. I’ll get my greens in later!

It’s got some powerhouse ingredients, so it can definitely qualify for breakfast. Plus, you’re beginning your day with a boost for both your metabolism and energy! I’ve got you covered in the protein department…

If we are not doing pancakes on a weekend morning, we are usually doing these! These “cookies” are simply my favorite. They’ve got almost all of my favorite ingredients in one cookie. Except for kale, but even I will not resort to putting kale into a cookie!

They are a lot sweeter than you imagine they will be, considering they contain absolutely zero added sugar. Cookies without sugar, people. Just make sure your bananas are ripe! Let me know if you try them!
