Bringing the taste of Hawaii home! 🍍🌺 Our homemade popsicles, inspired by the delicious Dole Whip and pineapple treats from our summer visit to the Dole Plantation, are now a family favorite. Packed with the tropical flavors of pineapple, bananas, and coconut milk, with a touch of pure maple syrup, these popsicles are a sweet reminder of our island adventures. 🏝️😋
Dole Whip Creamsicles
Pretzel Palm Trees
Since we’re currently in California and surrounded by these gorgeous lush trees, I figured a themed snack was in order. Made with just pretzels, chocolate, and plant-based food dye (plus optional raisins and sprinkles), these palm trees are such a fun snack activity to make with the kids.
Chocolate Chip+Peanut Butter+Banana Muffins
With a soft pull apart texture on the inside and the sweet flavors of gooey chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and sweet banana, these muffins will have you begging for more. Trust me, you need to try this recipe.
Peanut Butter Acai Popsicles
This popsicle is the perfect refreshing spring & summertime treat or even a make-ahead breakfast idea! Acai is rich in antioxidants, deliver healthy fats and fiber, and is low in sugar. These popsicles are creamy and rich from the acai/peanut butter mix, filled with nutritious banana, blueberry, and strawberry pieces, and dipped in sweet granola surrounded by chia and flaxseed.
Creamy Peanut Butter Acai Bowl
Did you know açaí is a superfood packed with antioxidants that aid in immune support? This rich & creamy indulgent açaí bowl has become a favorite breakfast and snack for Liv & Sawyer (last week we even managed to pack it for Liv’s school snack!). We top it with all the yummy goodies like berries, homemade granola, banana, and hemp seeds.
Breakfast Tortilla Hack
Ready for an easy back-to-school breakfast hack?? While mornings can be hectic with getting the kids out the door, breakfast doesn’t have to be!
🌮 Packed with protein-rich peanut butter, zinc-loaded berries, antioxidant fueled chia seeds, fiber dense hemp seeds, and sweet granola for extra flavor + crunch, it’s a complete breakfast that’s easy to make and super kid-friendly.
Yogurt Parfait
Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸 Ready for an easy red, white, and BLUEberry meal idea? If you’re tired of the same old breakfasts + snack ideas, try this creamy calcium & protein rich yogurt parfait! Nutritious + packed with antioxidants, it’s a favorite with my 6&3 year olds and comes together in minutes!
S’mores Cheesecake Ice Cream
Have you tried the viral trend yet? No?? You’re killing me smalls! If you’re a s’mores or cheesecake fan, you’re gonna wanna save this one down.
🍨 We knew we had to try the viral cottage cheese ice cream trend but leveled it up with chunks of graham crackers, vegan marshmallows, and chocolate chips. This recipe is simple yet deliciously indulgent. Half the ingredients are thrown in a blender and the other half are just mixed in. So much cleaner than store bought ice cream. No fillers, artificial flavors, or food dyes. Just sweet creamy indulgence. You have to try it!
Lunchbox Inspiration: “Ice Cream Cone Sundae”
It felt like summer weather this week in NY while the kids had spring break, and we’re celebrating with a fun warm weather back-to-school lunchbox idea!
No-Bake Easter Egg Nests
These treats taste like oatmeal raisin cookies and are naturally sweetened by dates! We used coconut flour, making it a grain free and gluten free treat. Oh, and for all those celebrating Passover, this works for that holiday too (as long as peanut butter is part of your tradition)! Cookies bring us all together✌️
Easter Apple Pops
Spring is here and we’re celebrating with this Easter-inspired snack activity! With just an apple, mixed fruits, chocolate, and our newest favorite obsession air-puffed corn rings, our kids were able to pour their creativity into these apple pops to make a bunny, chick, carrot, and Easter egg.
Funfetti Cake Batter Bites (No Bake)
An easy snack activity to make with the kids, these NO-BAKE energy bites taste like cookie dough but are made with clean ingredients like gluten-free oats, superfood seeds (flax, chia, and hemp), nut butter, and pure maple syrup.
Great for fine motor skills (the kids LOVE rolling the batter into little balls), it’s also a great confidence booster for kids to create their own snacks from start to finish.
