Dark Chocolate Covered Walnuts, Pecans, and Almonds

My mom made these chocolate covered nuts for me, shared her recipe, and now I keep them on hand as much as possible! Her’s always taste better (she’s the candy master), but this recipe gets me through 🙂 My favorite thing about her signature recipe is that she grows her own walnuts, pecans, and almonds! We have a small family farm in northern California and growing up, I totally took it for granted. Now, I beg her to ship me fresh things to Las Vegas. Especially the walnuts. A light blonde color, plump with healthy oils,…

Granola Cookies

Turns out, granola makes the best oatmeal cookies! Instead of using rolled oats which never cook through, I use granola to lend the perfect crunch. I also add yogurt and an extra egg yolk to the batter, that way you get a chewy centered cookie, even the next day! These cookies are gluten free, nut free (if you omit the pecans in the granola), low in sugar, and packed with high energy foods. Add cinnamon and raisins for a classic oatmeal cookie. Or make them my favorite way… with dark chocolate and dried  cranberries! Both are delicious and even better…

Base Granola

I love cereal! I mean, who doesn’t, right? The problem is most “healthy” cereals are expensive, super high in calories, and contain a ton of unnecessary ingredients. This base granola recipe is my solution. It’s easy to make, delicious, and takes less than ten minutes to prep. Eat it by the handful or pour over milk for cereal! The bulk of this recipe contains gluten free sprouted oats along with pumpkin and sunflower seeds. I also add finely shredded coconut and pecans for extra flavor and texture.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie

Protein meet dessert. When I’m craving chocolate and peanut butter, this smoothie is my go-to! And yes, you can sub any nut butter of choice…. but let’s be real, peanut butter just tastes the best! Print Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Smoothie I recommend adding a scoop of protein powder to this smoothie. One scoop adds an extra 25 grams of protein! This can really add up, especially when you're looking to increase your protein intake. I use whey protein for maximum muscle growth and I like Ascent Brand Native Fuel Whey Protein…

Sugar Free Gummies

These gummies are simple and delicious! You can make them with any juice or liquid, just add gelatin! For the recipe below, I used Ultima, a sugar free electrolyte beverage. I bought the variety pack for the rainbow of flavors and colors. For the gelatin, I used Vital Proteins Gelatin. I also mixed in CBD Oil from Jambo Superfoods. I added a dropper full to each batch and it didn’t affect the texture or flavor at all, just enhanced them with that zen feeling 🙂 Also, I used this super cute…

Rosemary Pepper Crackers

Since I’m one to eat a whole box of Simple Mills crackers in one sitting, I thought I’d share my similar homemade recipe! I think Simple Mills nailed it with their gluten free cracker line. Crispy crackers that taste good in every flavor, made with real food ingredients. My type of grub. This cracker recipe fits the bill of a salty and crunchy snack and I love the bite of pepper with the savory rosemary. A classic pairing that tastes great with a variety of flavors. Crumble these crackers into soup, use them to coat chicken tenders,…
