Strawberry and Peach Smoothie

Strawberry and Peach Smoothie

Strawberry and Peach Smoothie

Smoothies are one of those things that we tend to make more of in the summer months. When it’s hot outside, sometimes all you want is something cold and nourishing. I love that I can pack my smoothies with good for you ingredients and that they always taste delicious too. I tend to use fruit that is in season and buy it in bulk and then freeze some of it when it gets perfectly ripe and sweet. Peaches are particularly great for this because they ripen so quickly. This recipe for my strawberry and peach smoothie tastes like a milkshake, I kid you not, and you are going to love making it all summer long!

Chocolate Muffins

Healthy Whole Wheat Chocolate Muffins

This recipe for Healthy Whole Wheat Chocolate Muffins is one that will surprise you. Not only are these muffins made from whole wheat flour, but they are also made using non-refined sugar, and despite their healthy ingredients are absolutely delicious! I love having a batch of muffins on hand for the week because it makes for easy breakfasts and snacking with very minimal effort on my part! This recipe is great for easy meal prepping and I find that it really does make a difference when I have something like this ready to go on rushed mornings and when my afternoon sweet tooth kicks in.

Chocolate Coconut Energy Balls

Over the weekend, we went to Louisiana to see our new niece who was just born!  It was a whirlwind of a weekend and we were all pretty much wiped out last night when we got back home.  After a good night's sleep, I am waking up feeling ready for the week!  And it's a BUSY one!  One of the ways I prep for a busy week is to make a batch of energy balls!  My new favorite combination of flavors and ingredients is my chocolate coconut energy balls that taste delicious and are the perfect snack to get you through the afternoon slump!

Granola Banana Pops: My Diary of Us

Granola Banana Pops

Lately if my fridge isn't stocked with go to healthy options, you can find me eating whatever is in reach and that is not a good situation!   I don't have the patience to fix something, or to think about what I want, so prepping my food in advance has been key during this pregnancy! Honestly it's a great practice to get in the habit of even if you aren't pregnant, especially if you are trying to stick to a healthy eating plan!  My recipe for granola banana pops are perfect to keep in your freezer for on the go breakfasts and afternoon pick me ups that you can feel good about eating!

I feel like I've been seeing frozen bananas in recipes everywhere right now.  You can make ice cream with them, freeze them for your smoothies, and now you can add making healthy banana pops to the list!  If you are someone who always finds them self not eating breakfast on the regular, chances are it's because you don't have time right?  I got news for ya people, and it's probably not the first time you've heard it...breakfast is the most important meal of the day! I literally couldn't function without it!
