Have you ever wanted to take yogurt on the go? Try out these yogurt cups in your next meal prep for an easy breakfast, snack, or dessert. They can be fruity or fudgy with endless combinations of your allowed (and favorite) ingredients!

These build-your-own muffins are delightful! The best part is you can mix and match your mix-ins. I find blueberries, diced strawberries, raisins, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips work best. With simple ingredients and a few minutes of prep, you’ll have the scent of muffins drawing everyone to the kitchen.

Have you ever tried to copycat your favorite restaurant soup only to discover it’s much harder than you thought to match the rich flavor? I’ve found it’s not just the onion and garlic but also the bone broth and some ginger that really bring a homemade chicken soup up to par. This recipe is a great one to double or triple, depending on the size of your slow cooker (and the strength of your chopping arm!). Served with gluten free biscuits, it’s a crowd pleaser.

Whether you need a breakfast component or an on-the-go snack, these Superfood Protein Balls are the tasty solution! With a food processor and a handful of ingredients (with a great deal of artistic license), you can make a satisfying superfood snack that’s just right for you.

As always, I like to find creative ways to use up our leftover brown bananas. We do smoothies often, so my freezer is well-stocked. We’ve tried several iterations of banana bread, and this one has the added protein component of chickpea flour. For those who tolerate legumes, this is also a dairy-free and egg-free recipe, making it a vegan lifesaver. You can never have too many bananas!

This chili recipe is a hit with family and friends! Full of delicious, simple ingredients, it packs in the flavor and the nutrition. It is easily customizable and can be Paleo without the corn and beans.  The way to get the best bang for your buck (and nutrition) with quality meats is to stretch them with loads of vegetables. For your picky eaters who may hesitate with colorful veggies, the right seasonings and toppings can make all the difference.

Serve this chili in a bowl or a cup; with a spoon or some Siete chips; topped with avocado and cheese (if not Paleo), or crumbled Terra sea salt plantain chips.

If you’ve never seen a purple sweet potato, check them out at Whole Foods (for the organic ones)! They have an amazing, unique, creamy flavor and work very well in baked goods paired with naturally sweet foods like banana, coconut butter, etc. These donuts are delightful to make, beautiful to plate, and delicious to eat.

Muffins – they are so versatile! They can feature fruit, chocolate, nut butter…and vegetables. These sweet green muffins offer a dose of your daily vegetables and are sweetened with fruit, honey, and coconut sugar. Perfect for adults (and fun for kids!), take your fruits and veggies on the go!

If you’re looking for a cookie that’s looking good (and tasting great!), these are for you. They are vegan, gluten free, dairy free, and can be peanut free if you select an alternative to peanut butter. Check out your pantry (and fruit) staples, and I bet you’ve got just about everything you need to whip up a batch of these delicious cookies!
