A root cause approach to holistic gut healing
You know those morning where you want something creamy, filling, delicious & quick to make? Introducing yogurt bowls! My new favorite breakfast when I’m short on time!
One thing I love about these bowls is how versatile they can be! From the different types of yogurt to various toppings, you can switch things up to whatever you’re feeling. Pictured below is a favorite: fall inspired apple bowl with cinnamon! So good! {You can also visit my Instagram for more bowl ideas}
Slices of sweet, juicy, fall apples that are in season right now add an amazing flavor to this salad of fresh greens! Drizzled with a homemade apple cider vinegar dressing and topped with toasted nuts, this salad is the perfect side dish.
I was on the hunt for a brownie. One that was extra chocolaty (is that a word?), free of refined sugar & flour and one that did not use black beans. As much as I do love a good black bean brownie, I honestly didn’t want to have to mess with the blender! Inspired by this online recipe, I made a couple upgrades and was so happy with the results that I’m sharing it with you.
I really like to make this salsa during the winter months or when tomatoes are not in season. By using canned tomatoes & adding the fresh ingredients, it creates a delicious “fresh” flavor.
I use my home canned tomatoes (tomatoes & salt) but you can pick some up from the grocery. You can adjust the amounts of tomato & cilantro to your liking.
(TIP: canning whole tomatoes is very easy. I just stuff the jars as full as I can, add 1/2-1 tsp pink salt and can.)
There is nothing quite as refreshing as a bowl of fresh fruit! This delightful combination leaves your taste buds happy and you tummy wanting more!
The key is to use all FRESH fruit. Be sure wash it first (get my produce wash recipe here), chop it into a big bowl, snitch a few pieces and smile at all the BEAUTIFUL colors!
Fruit is something we should all be consuming in our diet on a regular basis! There are so many options to choose from and each one has unique nutritional contents that nourish our bodies.
Inspired by an online recipe.
This recipe is easy, delicious and very good for your body! Wild-caught salmon is one of the most nutritious foods on the planet!
When buying salmon, look for Alaskan WILD CAUGHT. While farm raised salmon is fattier than wild caught, most of the time it can be full of poor quality omega 6 fatty acids instead of powerful anti-inflammatory omega 3’s.
This one is dairy free, reminds you of a tropical island and is so so refreshing! I made this for guests one evening and it was a hit!
This dish contains NO ADDED sugar making it a great option for a snack or dessert or even a breakfast treat!
Bonus tip: add chia seeds and a handful of greens for extra health benefits! (However if you do add greens, it will loose the pretty color.)
*You can also freeze this in a container to eat later.
RECIPE UPDATE: I used strawberries in place of the pineapple and boy was it good!
One of my favorite old time breakfast meals. A twist on the traditional bowl of oatmeal.
I have been loving oats lately. They are a great source of fiber, B vitamins, protein (5-7 grams in 1/2 cup) and antioxidants. Plus it is very filling. I get on my egg and smoothie kick and tend to forget about oatmeal which is a great breakfast choice. (Or a snack like these delicious cookies)
To make this DAIRY FREE:
*Use CERTIFIED GLUTEN FREE OATS
*Avoid using quick oats which are highly processed, loosing vitamins, fiber and minerals. Rolled oats are your best option here.
If you practice food combining, this recipe is still delicious without the blueberries. You can also add bananas as well.
Who wants something nutritious AND delicious to grab as they are on their way out the door?! Whether you want to eat them for breakfast, or take them to a brunch, or snack on one in the afternoon, whatever your hearts desire may be: These muffins are a wonderful choice!
Rolled oats, ground flax & the applesauce provide an excellent source of fiber which is essential in keeping your digestive system moving. You can change up the flavor by adding different little things to your mixture. Chocolate anyone?
One of the more common things I hear with people is not having/making the time to eat breakfast. Having these in the refrigerator to grab and go is perfect!
