The Peanut Butter & Jelly Protein Smoothie

by Paige
We decided a hike would be the perfect way to kick off this holiday weekend, so I knew we needed something pretty substantial to get us through until lunch. On days like this, I always add some almond butter or peanut butter to our smoothies, which served as the inspiration for this smoothie. It definitely…

Apple Cinnamon Sunbutter Oat Bites

by Paige
Considering that peanut allergies are far more common nowadays than when I was growing up, the limited number of nut-free snack options for kids (with the exception of sugary granola bars and starchy crackers) surprises me. My brother-in-law has a peanut allergy, so after hearing my mother-in-law’s stories, I can understand how scary it must be for parents to let their child go on playdates...

Vegan Bolognese Pasta Sauce

by Paige
Marinara sauce, among other sauces, is usually a culprit of hidden sugars. Add that to some white pasta and you’ve got a sugary, carb-heavy meal. But I’ll confess… I have such a weakness for Italian food (and Italy, in general…), so giving up Italian food for my sugar-free goals was just not going to happen....

Chocolate Layered Chia Pudding

by Paige
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...

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....
