Strawberry Cheesecake Spinoff
Recipe
omg. this is amazing! I will 100% be making it every time I buy ricotta for something!
Cookie dough YUM!!
Cheat days can still be healthy-ish
1 can chickpeas (drained)
1/4 cup nut or seed butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp honey
3 Tbsp rice flour Pinch of salt
1/4 cup chocolate chips
Yogurt Cups
Well these turned out better than I could have imagined. I am in love with how versatile they are!
I seasoned with cinnamon and topped with blueberries, pumpkin seeds, hemp seed, and chia seed. The banana on the bottom was a fun surprise too! I will definitely be making these again.
Wrapping up week 20 with cucumber chips!
Cucumbers are very low calorie and jam packed with nutrients.
Some of the benefits include: hydration (high electrolytes), bone health (Vit. K), cancer (antioxidants), cardiovascular (potassium and magnesium), diabetes (low glycemic index), inflammation, and skin care (inflammation and sunburns).
Don’t forget to save a couple slices for an eye mask while you wait for them to crisp!
Yay our stay-at-home order is done in Denver. I am happily ending the Coronavirus miniseries of shelf stable snack ideas, and for week 19, I made Mexican Quinoa bites.
They are so good and super versatile! Next time I’m definitely adding some spicy green chiles!!

Happy May Day/Beltane!
Today I made Beltane Bannock with homemade nut butter.
In line with the Coronavirus miniseries of shelf stable snacks, all these items came from my pantry. I substituted coconut oil for butter, which is what a traditional bannock is made out of. My nut butter had almonds, cashews, sunflower kernels, and a secret ingredient.
The bannocks aren’t super delicious, if I try them again next year I think I would add some berries or maybe more seasonings. The base recipe is 1.5 cups oatmeal, 1/8 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. baking soda, 1 tbsp. coconut oil, 1/2 cup hot water.
Continuing with the Coronavirus miniseries of shelf stable snacks, OATMEAL COOKIE SMOOTHIE is the winner this week!
Thank you past self for freezing a banana
This was sooo good, I didn’t have raisins so I decided to top with cranberries.

Mediterranean Vegetable Pizza
General consensus was delicious, although we thought it might be yummy with some feta next time!
Welcome to my journey of making one healthy snack per week for the year! I decided on embarking on this culinary journey for two reasons.
The first was to lose weight, I’m still around 165 lbs. after giving birth 😐 my pre-pregnancy weight was 140. My little is finally starting to sleep longer stretches and am I ready to focus more time on me!
The second is for my little! She will be starting solids in a few months and having an arsenal of pre-taste-approved snacks seemed like a good idea!
So on that note, welcome to Week One!
This week is an Antioxidant Paradise Smoothie and it’s refreshing! The maqui berry adds such a delicious tartness and I sweetened mine up with a little raw honey. 🐝
Some of the my favorite health benefits of this smoothie are: high in Vitamin C, good for heart health, helps aid digestion, anti-inflammatory effects, and it’s packed full of antioxidants!

Blend and enjoy!
