Banana Nut Muffins

Muffins are a staple at my house! Not only are they great as a carb source for breakfast, but they are great as a grab and go snack! What I just now realized is that I have more muffin recipes on the blog than anything else! 

Another realization is that I have not one but two banana style recipes. The infamous paleo banana nut bread naturally sweetened with just bananas and 5-ingredient banana bread muffins that is also in the Nourished Cookbook!

Balanced Rice Cake Snack Combos

As someone who follows more foodie accounts than a normal person should, I usually try to spot major food trends so that I can “beautify” or rather “healthify” for my clients. Hence, healthy crispy chicken salad, crunchwrap supreme, catfish nuggets, and Reese's peanut butter cup to name a few.  

But a recipe trend I want to highlight today is an actual health trend that started in the low fat craze of the 1990’s - the rice cake!

Medjool Date Snacks

Snacks don’t have to be complex and include every ingredient in your pantry. If anything, snacks need to be simple. They need to be a quick grab-and-go and something to whip up fast as you need something ready before or after your workout, to help stabilize blood sugar, or to tie you over before a late dinner reservation. 

So that is why I’m showing you my favorite carb source - medjool dates and the many medjool date snack ideas you can do to make sure your date is macro balanced, less than 5 ingredients, and is a quick grab and go snack!

Apple Pie Granola

Apple pie granola is naturally sweetened, gluten-free and full of fall flavor! Enjoy with milk, yogurt, kefir, smoothie or just by the handful as a snack!

Summer is over and fall is here so what better way to kick off the fall season than with an apple spice inspired recipe!?

I truly love this recipe as I have made it a few times last year and never came around to posting it - mainly because I couldn’t stop eating it! Haha I was also distracted by how it made my kitchen smell like a freshly baked apple pie!
