Date Pops
Chocolate Bat Pops
With just 𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑒𝑒 ingredients, this spooky Halloween treat is easy to make and oh so delicious. We used vegan + gluten-free nut-butter stuffed sandwich cookies, and added mini white chocolate chips to our dye-free chocolate gem eyes for extra spooky night vision.
𝓢𝓹𝓲𝓬𝓮𝓭 Apple (Elder)Berry 𝓒𝓻𝓾𝓶𝓫𝓵𝓮 Bars
It’s apple season and we 👏 are 👏 here 👏 for 👏 it!! Nothing is more soothing than the warm spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove mixed with the sweet flavors of apples. Great for a make-ahead breakfast or snack, these bars are vegan + gluten-free.
Fruit + Granola Yogurt Popsicles
With the back-to-school season upon us, I wanted to share a favorite after-school treat that also doubles as a snack activity to make with the kids! 🍡 Made with fiber-rich fruit, sweet crunchy granola, and creamy Greek yogurt, this snack is as nutritious as it is yummy.
No-Bake Cereal Bars
With the school year quickly approaching, I’ve been compiling a list of quick + easy breakfast ideas we can grab and go. Made with just 𝓯𝓸𝓾𝓻 ingredients, these cereal bars are a kid-friendly breakfast that are super versatile and great for meal prep. Unlike many store-bought cereal bars, these are made with ingredients you can actually pronounce and are a good source of fiber, protein, and healthy fats.
Rice Crispy Fudge Cups
This no-bake frozen dessert is such a favorite amongst my kids! The crispy brown rice cereal texture complements the contrasting smooth fudgy layer perfectly. Packed with protein from the seed/nut layer, it’s a sweet treat that also has some nutritional benefits!
Chocolate Covered Banana Pops
These no-bake frozen chocolate covered banana pops are a fun snack activity to make with your children that build confidence in the kitchen and serve as a great bonding experience. Loaded with potassium, antioxidants, and a good source of Vitamin C, these pops are easy to make and so delicious! We used chocolate sweetened by coconut sugar and let the kids use their creativity with the toppings. Once these frozen treats defrost a bit, the inside is smooth and creamy! Perfect for a warm summer day.
Yogurt-Frosted Watermelon “Cake”
This sweet + refreshing no-bake watermelon “cake” is a fun new take on a summery dessert. Frosted with a a tangy + sweet yogurt topping and covered in berries, this dessert is pleasing to even the pickiest of eaters (aka my toddler son!). We’ve served this for birthdays, the Fourth of July, and Memorial Day Weekend. Dress it up with any colored sprinkles you want (we use natural dye-free ones) and make it match the theme you want for any occasion!
Dinosaur Candy Explosion Cake
Made with organic frosting that’s sweetened by coconut sugar, this birthday cake can be made 2 ways: either from scratch with oat flour and naturally sweetened with pure maple syrup, or if you’re short on time, it can come together from a boxed almond flour mix that’s grain-free, plant-based, and SO INCREDIBLY YUMMY. We then filled it with dye-free natural chocolate gems, used plant-based dye-dree superfood powders to naturally color our frosting, and dug in!!
Maple Smash Cake with Yogurt Frosting
Inspired by @yummytoddlerfood, we made this patriotic maple cake with yogurt frosting for my son’s first birthday cake smash, but it was so delicious that I now make it for special occasions and holidays. Made with simple clean ingredients, this cake can be made dairy-free (sub in coconut milk yogurt), and always yields a moist, deliciously sweet cake.
No-Bake Brownie Batter Rice Cakes
No-Bake Brownie Batter Rice Cakes 🍫 Have you tried the latest viral food trend yet? Rice cakes have officially made a come-back!! I’m obsessed with our rendition because it’s a chocolate lover’s dream… fudgy + creamy and 𝓪𝓭𝓭𝓲𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰!
🍫 We used brown rice cakes, almond butter, our homemade brownie batter (our take on chocolate hummus), and drizzled melted dark chocolate on top. You need to try this sweet and salty combination!!!
Brownie Batter Dip (aka Chocolate Hummus)
Ready for a protein-packed fudgy brownie batter dip made with clean good-for-you ingredients? I PROMISE no one will ever know that plant-based black beans are used as the main ingredient. It tastes exactly like a chocolate pudding dip and is great for dipping with whole wheat crackers, rice cakes, or strawberries! We’ve packed this for Liv’s school snack lunchbox and she always asks for more!
