Chris — Fri, 17 Aug 2018 00:05:52 +0000

Another creative smoothie idea for “kids” of all ages: The Traffic Light fruit smoothie that changes from red to yellow to green as you eat it. It’s great to make healthy eating fun, too. The bonus is that it’s really yummy, too.

Just watch about 2 minutes of this video to see how it’s done, and then get the ingredients together. The recommended ingredients for each of the layers are:

Green Light layer: 1 avocado, 4 tbsp yogurt, 1 tbsp honey

Orange Light layer: 1 mango, 1 banana, 1/2 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp honey

Red Light layer: 8 strawberries, 1 banana, 1 tbsp honey

Watch the video to see what to do next. With a tall glass and a little bit of imagination it will look just like a traffic light …

Super-Delicious Homemade Cranberry Orange Breakfast Muffins

Chris — Sat, 14 Apr 2018 12:35:31 +0000

This popular Cranberry Orange Muffin recipe has been carefully crafted to provide maximum nutritional benefit without sacrificing flavor and healthy enjoyment. The health benefits include: Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, and Paleo.

The recipe makes 15 muffins because each time I tried to change the amount of batter, the muffins didn’t turn out as well as this exact recipe. I ended up just placing the 3 extra silicone muffin cups on top of the filled muffin tin (each at a joint between 4 muffins in the tin). … If I overfilled the silicone cups, the muffins would cook over the edges and were impossible to remove.

Here are the ingredients you’ll need for 15 muffins:

1.5 cups + 2 tbsp almond flour
3 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla powder (vanilla extract works also)
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 ripe banana
1 tbsp orange zest (zest of 2 naval oranges)
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
2 large eggs
3 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 cup fresh cranberries
xylitol for garnish

I happen to have xylitol in the pantry, so if you don’t you can either skip it or use a pinch of sugar. I love the extra hint of sweetness on top since cranberries are quite tart.
