patriotic cupcakes
4th of July.... my favorite holiday!! Not sure why, but growing up I would go to the Marietta Square with my family every year and we would spend the day watching the parade, listening to live music, watching fireworks etc. It's just such a fun day and I love seeing everyone out celebrating! What better way to celebrate than with some patriotic cupcakes!? Thanks to Simple Mills of course... Prep Time: 10 minutes Bake Time: 13-15 minutes INGREDIENTS: 1 box of Simple Mills Choc

chocolate peanut butter banana bites
Uhmmmm just reading the title of these makes me drool!! I think I have found the easiest and most amazing dessert ever. Not only do you get the natural sweetness and vitamins and minerals from a banana, but you also get the healthy fats and protein from the peanut butter and THEN it's dipped in chocolate?! It's as amazing as it sounds. Serving Size: 12-16 bites Total Time: 10 minutes INGREDIENTS 2-4 peeled organic bananas Peanut butter (make sure it has no added oils or is on

no-bake vanilla coconut cookies
A little late to posting these but....#life. Let's be honest....there is nothing better than a cookie, but also one that doesn't require ANY baking.....am I right?? I was able to partner up with Ora Organic to make these delicious gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free and NO BAKE cookies using their AH-MAZING Vanilla Chai Protein Powder! You definitely need to try them out, but also try out Ora Organic and all of the products they offer. I take their probiotic + prebiot

chocolate avocado mousse
Wait.....so you're telling me that you can eat chocolate AND avocados at the same time?! Why yes, yes you can. I first came across this recipe a few years ago when I attended an event hosted by my childhood chiropractor, and naturally, I had to make sure it ended up on my blog! I added a few twists of my own, but either way, it's just as delicious any way you make it! This super easy dessert (I'm talking less than 10 minutes) is not only full of vitamins, minerals and healthy

chocolate peanut butter + hemp fudge
FUDGE FUDGE FUDGE. Such a simple dessert, yet it is one that I don't personally think gets enough love. Growing up, I used to not be the biggest fudge fan because I honestly felt like I was eating a block of sugar (and it normally would make my stomach upset). However, now that I have found ways to incorporate healthy fats and proteins (or even sugars) into certain desserts, I enjoy them way more! This recipe is super simple and only requires five ingredients, check it out: S

simple mills chocolate chip cookies
I've mentioned before my obsession with chocolate chip cookies, but seriously, these are even more amazing than any you'll find in the conventional cookie section! Nestle Tollhouse was always my go-to brand when wanting to make some yummy and warm chocolate chip cookies, but not anymore....yuck. I can't claim this recipe, BUT I did add a few things of my own to add a little extra kick and additional superfoods! Either way, these cookies and this brand are worth sharing :) I

fruit & veggie popsicles
Growing up, one of my favorite things about the summertime was going to the pool, playing different games such as Marco Polo (okay, actually, no because that game is really stupid in my opinion), Categories (definitely my favorite) or any other number of activities, and always taking a break to have a sweet treat with either a popsicle or ice cream cone. As much as the song that played with the ice cream truck creeped the heck out of me (still does to this day), I always got

cinnamon walnut cupcakes
The yummy cupcakes that you saw on my Instagram feed the other day for Mother's Day? Here is the recipe! So delicious and easy to do! One of my favorite brands is Simple Mills because they not only have so many products to choose from, BUT they all also accommodate my gluten-free needs! I don't have to give up all of the famous American desserts due to my restrictions and dietary preferences. Personally, I think their products taste even healthier than most conventional produ
