A go-to salad of mine I’ve made for years now. It comes together quickly and is packed with fiber. Fiber helps to turn off hunger hormones, balance blood sugar and supports healthy detoxification. Makes enough to have for a days in a row - win win!

I love a hearty layered salad with a good crunch and a high fiber content. In the winter months, I prefer a slightly warmed salad or salads without a bed of greens. I really enjoy having a salad like this that only gets better as it sits in the fridge. It’s super crunchy from the pistachios and cucumbers and the recipe is flexible so you can adjust it to the produce you have on hand.

I can still remember walking through the Financial District in the city with a winter coat on and enjoying a pumpkin spice latte with my then boyfriend. I wouldn’t order one from Starbucks today because of the blood sugar spike it would cause. This smoothie is a total “taste the season” drink but it’s loaded with nutrition instead of sugar. You can have this for any meal of the day. It contains protein, fat and fiber to round out a meal :)

This banana bread is ooey gooey GOOD! Banana bread has been in heavy rotation because my daughter loves to make it so you can say I’ve become a bit of an expert ;) I think this is my best version yet! The avocado in the recipe makes it extra moist and delicious.

They contain oats, flax and walnuts which are all nourishing foods for milk production. My body liked the combination of carbs and fat to cookies supplied for milk production. Great for nursing mamas or anyone that loves choc chip cookies!

Cutting the oatmeal with cauliflower and chia lowers the overall carbohydrate serving in the meal while maintaining the cozy oatmeal experience. This recipe is a great source of fiber from the chia seeds and can be topped with additional nutrition. (If you are seed cycling, feel free to swap the chia seeds with your phased seeds.)

We make many different versions of these pops because my daughter loves to help make them. I let her pick which fruit to add and she puts all the ingredients into the blender. The base is consistent and you can add any fruit you have on hand. In this recipe I added an pediatric immunity support supplement that you can find in my supplement shop. It’s something that has been in rotation because of the virus season we are in.

So this is how I make a quick bar to have around for the family all week. These are loaded with healthy fats, fiber, and a touch of sweet from dark chocolate. They will keep your blood sugar levels healthy and be a satisfying snack.

There are only a few dishes I missed after transitioning to gluten-free eating. Beef and broccoli was definitely on that list! This recipe is a healthy substitute for the beloved, savory beef and broccoli dish.

I keep these cacao cups in my freezer so I'm prepared when I want a  treat. It's filled with healthy fats and no sugar but its rich flavor will satisfy your sweet tooth. The sea salt and cacao are an excellent source of minerals that can help reduce sugar cravings.
