We love eating the rainbow so we decided to put a St. Paddy’s Day spin on our apple slice “donuts”. Topped with Greek yogurt and our rainbow fruit, you can also sub in nut butter or chocolate hummus for the spread. We then added some dye-free candy in the center for our pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Rainbow Apple Rings
Banana Spinach Muffins
We made these blender muffins in honor of St. Patrick’s Day! These chocolate chip banana muffins are always a hit with the kids and their friends (and no one even complains that the beautiful green color comes from SPINACH!!). We love using spinach because it adds such great nutritional value without compromising the sweet flavor of the muffin. Spinach is a such great source of fiber that helps fuel growth of healthy gut bacteria.
Shamrock Chocolate Bark
Let’s make Shamrock Chocolate Bark in honor of St. Paddy’s Day! 🍀 All you need is white chocolate with some coconut oil so it spreads smoothly, pretzel twists (we used cauliflower pretzels), and dye-free green sprinkles on top. “Wherever you go, whatever you do, may the luck of the Irish be there with you!”
S’mores Stuffed Hamantaschen
The only thing better than s’mores are s’mores stuffed cookies 🤤 Hamantaschen never looked so good. These triangular stuffed cookies for Purim are both vegan + gluten-free with a crumbly texture and chocolately goodness on the inside.

Apple Ring Masks
The Jewish holiday of Purim, the Festival of Masks, starts next week, and we’re getting holiday ready with a festive take on our apple slice “donuts”.
🎭 The kids had so much fun putting their creativity to the test as they dipped and decorated their apple slice masks with all the dye-free candy we had in our cabinet. Even if you don’t celebrate Purim, save these apple masks down in your bookmarks because they are perfect for Mardi Gras or even just a fun snack activity.

Copycat Reese’s Hearts
Do you know the perfect ratio of peanut butter to chocolate? 👇🏼
♥️ There’s a reason why Reese’s hearts and eggs are WAY better than the classic cups (not debatable) and it’s all in the peanut butter to chocolate ratio.
❤️ We nailed the ratio while cleaning up the classic with our copycat Reese’s hearts (and even added some hemp hearts for extra protein + fiber).
Strawberry Pops
Can you guess what 2 secret ingredients are hidden under that heart? 👇🏼

💕 Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about chocolate especially on Valentine’s Day. But what if we could increase the nutritional value of those chocolates without sacrificing flavor?
🍓 These strawberry pops are chocolate dipped yet have vitamin C from the strawberries and protein + healthy fat from the peanut butter hidden inside.
