These treats are delicious for dessert or breakfast! The original recipe called for dried apricots but since I had dried mango on hand, I substituted. Be sure to use organic for all ingredients as conventional fruits and nuts contains toxic preservatives. Nuts, especially walnuts, can also contain BHT as a preservative which has to been linked to increased risk of cancer. Dried fruits may contain sulphur dioxide (sulfites) which has been linked to respiratory issues. The #1 Rule is to read ingredient labels and buy organic! 1 c of dried organic apricots or mango 1 c. pitted dates 1/2 c raw organic almonds 1/2 c raw organic cashews 1/2…

Banana Blueberry Overnight Oats A submitted recipe by Wendy Nugent, published with permission. This is basically my version of Overnight Oats In A Jar from a website called skinnytaste.com.

Let me know what you think! 2 Tbsp Modere Pure Vanilla Slim Shake or your favorite plant-based protein powder 1 cup Unsweetened Almond milk 1/4 cup old fashioned rolled…

This Cranberry date salad is a bit addicting! As a bonus, it contains all whole foods.

The mix should be chunky. Serve immediately and store in the refrigerator. I like to add…

No Sodium Taco Seasoning Finding no sodium taco seasoning in the store is almost impossible. So I decided to start making my own that contains real ingredients only. Also, you'll know that this seasoning does NOT contain preservatives and unsafe additives, dairy or whey that the store-bought packets often do. This is an ingredient list and nutritional facts of a conventional taco seasoning packet. The sodium is 16% (yikes) plus whey (What the label doesn't tell you: hormones, antibiotics, GMOs, glyphosate) and potato starch (more GMOs and glyphosate). The levels are only assuming you eat two tacos. Each time you make a healthier choice, you are protecting your…

Nutty Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats are a family favorite and super easy to make. These delicious treats are the healthy version of rice crispy treats. The bonus is they also contain chocolate!
