Hot Cocoa

Now that the colder winter months have arrived, it’s time to bundle up with our refined sugar-free hot chocolate!

Are you still drinking Swiss Miss? STOP RIGHT NOW!

👎🏻 THEIRS is filled with a laundry list of hard to pronounce “ingredients” and additives.

👍 OURS takes a few minutes to make and is made with 5 simple ingredients.

🧋 Whenever my kids want chocolate milk, we follow this exact recipe but chill it (and often send it to school!). Even the boxed organic chocolate milks contain gellan gum and “natural flavors” that aren’t so natural after all. Making yours homemade not only tastes better but is better for you!

Banana Bites

I’m all about nutritious yet filling snacks for my kids that they can create with me. I find when the kids pitch in, it gets them more excited to eat the healthy foods we’re making together. These frozen chocolate peanut butter banana bites are a great snack option because they’re rich in potassium from the bananas, protein from the peanut butter, and healthy fat from the superfood hemp hearts!

Snowmen Banana Bark

Browning Banana Hack! 👇🏼

Don’t throw out those spotty bananas! Browning bananas are at their peak sweetness so they’re the perfect ripeness to make banana bark.

Once frozen, bananas have a creamy consistency that’s similar to ice cream. That’s why vegan nice cream’s base is bananas!
