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.
Peanut Butter Acai Popsicles
Creamy Peanut Butter Acai Bowl
Did you know aรงaรญ is a superfood packed with antioxidants that aid in immune support? This rich & creamy indulgent aรงaรญ bowl has become a favorite breakfast and snack for Liv & Sawyer (last week we even managed to pack it for Livโs school snack!). We top it with all the yummy goodies like berries, homemade granola, banana, and hemp seeds.
S’mores Cheesecake Ice Cream
Have you tried the viral trend yet? No?? Youโre killing me smalls! If youโre a sโmores or cheesecake fan, youโre gonna wanna save this one down.
๐จ 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!
Greek Yogurt Poppable Cones
Warm weather is right around the corner and weโre celebrating with these bite-sized frozen snacks! Liv & Sawyer had so much fun decorating (and eating) their mini frozen Greek yogurt conesโฆ such a fun snack activity to make with the littles!
Pot of Gold Snack Board
Ready for an easy St. Paddyโs Day snack board thatโs perfect for entertaining or even a fun after school treat? My kids loved helping me assemble this rainbow fruit board with a delicious pot of snack gold at the end. They may have eaten half the fruit and organic corn puffs before they made it on the snack tray, but they were all giggles and happy bellies while doing it.
Immune Boosting Citrus Smoothie
Now that winter is in full swing, I like to boost my familyโs immune system with all my tried and true natural remedies. Our smoothie is packed with oranges rich in Vitamin C, carrots loaded with beta-carotene and Vitamin A (which helps your body create more white blood cells to fight off infection), dates rich with phytonutrients that can stimulate the immune system, manuka honey which is anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and anti- bacterial (optional for our vegan friends), and ginger that produces strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
Chocolate Stars of David
The 8-day Jewish holiday Chanukah has arrived, and weโre celebrating with chocolate covered pretzels!
โก๏ธ We used cauliflower pretzels to keep them gluten-free and dye-free candy to decorate. Happy Hanukkah to all that celebrate!
Gingerbread Energy Bites
โTis the season for all things sprinkled with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves! These no-bake energy bites taste like gingerbread cookies and pumpkin pie had a baby and are great for meal prep and perfect size for lunchboxes.
Pumpkin Spice Dip
Ready for a simple protein-rich dip perfect for after-school snack or even holiday parties? With a base of Greek yogurt and a not-so-hidden nutritious fruit (pumpkin!), this dip is sweetened by pure maple syrup and has all the warm flavors of autumn.
๐ข๐น๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ญ Apple (Elder)Berry ๐๐ป๐พ๐ถ๐ซ๐ต๐ฎ Bars
Itโs apple season and we ๐ are ๐ here ๐ for ๐ 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.
Pink Pitaya Popsicles
๐ When itโs summertime, the kids and I are all about refreshing & nutritious popsicles!! My favorite mom hack is to repurpose leftover smoothies we make and turn them into popsicles for another treat laterโฆ weโre team no-waste over here!
๐ The best part about homemade popsicles is that YOU control the ingredientsโฆ no food dye, no added sugars, just natureโs pure candy. For our dragon fruit popsicles, we use pink pitaya, strawberries, pineapple, peaches, superfood hemp hearts, and plant-based milk. After blending, we pour our smoothie mixture into Zoku monster ice pop molds, wait a few hours, and enjoy our adorable kid-friendly treats.
Southwest Bean + Corn Pasta Salad
As a vegetarian mama, beans are often my go-to for a rich protein source. I find that they pair well with corn and come together for a full meal when combined into an avocado pasta salad with a cilantro-lime vinaigrette dressing. This dish works well as a main meal or side and can be meal prepped by cooking the pasta beforehand, in addition to chopping your veggies and roasting the corn.
๐ฑ Perfect for lunchboxes

โฐ Great meal-prep meal
