Chocolate Banana Smoothie

Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free

My Kids LOVE this smoothie for breakfast and after school. One serving is all of your Omega 3 EFA’s for the day and 18 grams of whole protein!!!! It is so nutrient dense but hey don’t even know it is good for them…a nice break for me too!

Healthy Hot Cocoa

Gluten Free, Nut Free, Dairy Free

Hot Chocolate, although yummy, conjures up images of sugar, marshmallows and the resulting sugar spikes in the kiddies. I have developed a GOOD FOR YOU version that you can serve without any guilt at any time. Easy to make, this has a couple of “tricks” to get you from a poor choice to a great one without sacrificing any taste. I have also provided a “raw” version (in the brackets) for anyone who wants to make an even better choice. Enjoy!

Gluten Free Vanilla Cupcakes with Vegan Chocolate Icing

Gluten Free, Soy Free, Nut Free

Now you can have your gluten free cake and eat it too! This cupcake is loaded with nutrition with coconut flour and coconut nectar sugar. The coconut flour is gluten free with a whopping 58% fiber allowing for reduced blood sugar levels. The coconut sugar is high in minerals (Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc and Iron) and Vitamins B and C and is a very low Glycemic Index sweetener (35GI) with a low fructose level of 10%. The icing includes superfood cacao with lots of minerals and heart healthy effects along with roasted hemp and its whole protein, GLA, chlorophyll and Vitamin E! Awesome taste, awesome nutritionals and super easy. Enjoy!
