Copycat Reese’s HeartsDo 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 PopsCan you guess what 2 secret ingredients are hidden under that heart? 👇🏼 📱 Before anything, bookmark this page so you have it for Valentine’s Day!! 💕 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.

Dirt Cups🌳 These dirt cups are the cutest way to celebrate Tu B’Shevat, the birthday of the trees (or save it down for Earth Day! Or even Valentine’s Day… they’re flowers people!) 🍇 My kids loved trying some of the seven species like dates + figs. While they weren’t a fan of those dried fruits on their own, paring them with chocolate pudding was a definite YES for both of them.

Trail Mix Chocolate BarkEasiest way to introduce dried fruits to your kids 👇🏼 🤚 Before anything, bookmark this post to come back to later! 🍊 I’m all about food exposure and introducing new foods to my kids’ palettes that they normally wouldn’t try on their own. 🫚 Did you know it takes kids about 10-20 times of repeated food exposure before they’re even interested in trying the new food? 🍌 We explored new fruits in honor of the holiday Tu B’Shevat, the Jewish celebration of the trees (think of it like Earth Day), and the kids made it clear they weren’t fans of banana chips, apricots, figs, or dates. So guess what?? We made chocolate bark with these exact fruits so they can learn to like them. And guess what? I’ll keep exposing them to these fruits over, and over again. 🍫 This trail mix chocolate bark tastes like my favorite fruit and nut bar of my childhood (Cadbury’s used to be my fave!) but with much cleaner ingredients and nothing artificial.

Pretzel FlowersWant to eat chocolate without all the guilt? 👇🏼 🍫 Often my friends ask how do we stay fit when we’re constantly eating chocolate. I’m happy giving my kids sugary foods as long as it’s a) in moderation and b) made with real, clean ingredients that we can pronounce and understand. 🍓 A great way to increase the nutritional content of a sugary snack like chocolate is to add fruit + nuts/seeds to boost the fiber, vitamins, protein, and healthy fats of the snack. It’s a win-win for both mama and kids. 🌳 Bookmark this recipe for Tu B’Shevat (or Earth Day!) and share with a fellow mama
