Chocolate pudding… my all-time favorite dessert as a kid, especially with a hefty helping of whipped cream on top. Now, my (and my kiddo’s) favorite dessert is a vegan, no-refined-sugar chocolate chia pudding with bananas and strawberries on top. I personally think it’s even more delicious than my previous pudding encounters… likely because it has...

The Clean, Green Shamrock Shake

by Paige

Did you know a McDonald’s Shamrock Shake contains 54 ingredients… including dyes, preservatives, high fructose corn syrup and 65 GRAMS OF SUGAR? The last part alone is pretty staggering… that’s the equivalent of measuring out a third of a cup of sugar and tossing it into your breakfast smoothie. If you can’t imagine doing that–...

No-Bake, Paleo Chocolate Almond Coconut Pie

by Paige

Happy Pi(e) Day! Since I had yet to try a “no refined sugar” pie, I figured today would be a prime opportunity to do just that. (I’m better at math than I am at jokes… so thanks for humoring me 😉 ). Baking a pie felt like it would require too much time and too...

“Go-Go Goji” Kid-Friendly Protein Bars

by Paige

In buying snack bars for my toddler, I’ve begun noticing how little protein is in them. Even the healthy ones aren’t very protein packed, which has led me on the quest to start making my own. I’ll let you in on a newly acquired secret in my search of healthy snack foods: Just one (ONE!)...

Slow Cooker Lentil, Sweet Potato & Kale Soup with Gluten-Free Cheddar Biscuits

by Paige

If you’re looking for a healthy, hearty slow cooker dinner that makes for great leftovers… this soup is IT. My parents were in town this weekend and, anticipating the blustery snowy weather that would be welcoming them, I figured this soup would be ideal. I’m a big fan of lentil soups… but I usually like...

Soft-Baked Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

by Paige

I gotta admit, I was skeptical how this one was going to go… Making cookies using only bananas, nut butter, cacao powder and chocolate chips? How was this possible?? I am so happy I decided to trust my mama friend Jennifer on this one, who provided the inspiration for this recipe from Fit Bottomed Meals....

Overnight Oats with Honey Almond Butter Swirl

by Paige

I am a newbie to this overnight oat phenomenon and I CANNOT believe it’s taken me this long to discover this brilliant breakfast for those who have no time for breakfast. Seriously, overnight oats… you would have REALLY come in handy last year when I was nursing 10 times a day. Regardless, I’m so very...

Clean Banana Muffins

by Paige

I’m fairly certain almost every single one of my mom friends here in Colorado (especially the ones who did the nutrition challenge) are constantly making similar versions of these banana muffins. And I love it. They’re perfect for playdates, for birthday parties… and every kid I know absolutely devours them. But here’s mama’s sneaky little...

Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Brownies

by Blaire

What’s better than gooey chocolate loaded brownies? A cleaner, gluten-free, vegan version topped with salted caramel, of course! We made these for Super Bowl Sunday and let me tell ya- they were a hit (although, thankfully, there were a few leftover for me to eat the day after… YUM!) The original recipe by Petite Allergy Treats was our...

Happy Valentine’s Day, mamas! I hope you are reminded of how very loved and appreciated you are today! 🙂 This year, I had a bit of a Valentine’s Day revelation… (hopefully it will be considered as such and not as a rant 😉 ). Valentine’s Day is about love… or has it become more about...
