Sharing 20 superfood smoothie recipes.

Hi hi! How’s the day going? I hope you’re having a great one! W’re still traveling around but check out the adventures on IG stories!

For today, let’s talk about one of my favorite foods: smoothies!

Smoothies are a delicious and convenient way to pack a variety of nutrients into your diet, especially when you incorporate superfoods. These nutrient-rich ingredients not only enhance the flavor of your smoothie but also provide a range of health benefits. In this blog post, we’ll explore 20 superfood smoothie combinations featuring ingredients like coconut, maca, goji berries, cacao, chia seeds, and spirulina to help you nourish your body and energize your day.

What are superfoods?

Superfoods are nutrient-dense foods that are particularly rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other beneficial compounds. These foods are believed to offer exceptional health benefits beyond basic nutrition. While there is no official definition of superfoods, they are typically whole foods—such as fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and certain grains—that are recognized for their high nutritional content and potential to promote health and well-being. Some examples of commonly recognized superfoods include berries (like blueberries, strawberries, and acai berries), leafy greens (such as kale, spinach, and Swiss chard), nuts and seeds (like almonds, chia seeds, and flaxseeds), fatty fish (such as salmon and sardines), whole grains (like quinoa and oats), and certain spices (such as turmeric and cinnamon). These foods are often praised for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting properties, among other health benefits. Incorporating a variety of superfoods into your diet can help support overall health and vitality.

What Is A Certified Holistic Health Coach?

Unlike health coaches with a specific niche, holistic health coaches take a comprehensive approach, considering physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health.

Sharing some of my favorite peanut butter snacks

Hi friends! How are. you? I hope you’re having an amazing day so far! We are off on some adventures — follow along on Instagram stories!

Today I wanted to chat about a beloved snack favorite: peanut butter. SO many of us love peanut butter – it’s such a nostalgic food – and it can be an awesome snack staple.

When I’m looking for peanut butter, I check for a couple of things:

• It needs to be certified organic, as peanuts are a heavily-sprayed crop
• It needs to have simple ingredients, like peanuts and salt only. No extra oils.

Today, I wanted to share 10 mouthwatering peanut butter snacks that will satisfy your cravings with simple, whole ingredients.

Peanut Butter: A snacking staple

Peanut butter is a beloved favorite for people of all ages. Its rich, creamy texture and nutty flavor make it a delightful treat on its own. However, the magic of peanut butter lies in its versatility. From sweet to savory, peanut butter pairs well with a variety of flavors and textures, making it a perfect ingredient for creating delicious snacks any time of day.

Is Peanut Butter a Healthy Snack?

Absolutely! Peanut butter is packed with essential nutrients that can benefit your health. A serving of peanut butter provides a a little protein, along with essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium. Additionally, peanut butter contains healthy fats that can help maintain normal blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels, supporting overall heart health.

This is the recipe for your summer bbq desserts: a Gluten-Free Lemon Cookie Fruit Tart. It’s fresh, beautiful, and super easy to make. Here are the details!

Hi friends! We are on the way to ESPAÑA. I’ll share some adventures with ya soon, but in the meantime, I have lots of content ready to go for ya, including new podcast episodes, a Spain packing list, and some delicious summer recipes.

I HAD to start the party with this fruit tart recipe. I made this for a friend dinner recently and was blown away by how good and easy it was. We ate the entire tart, so I knew I needed to make it again (and that I needed to actually measure everything).

This is a delightful and refreshing gluten-free tart recipe that’s perfect for any occasion! This tart combines the zesty flavor of crushed lemon cookies with a creamy, tangy filling and a vibrant assortment of fresh fruits. The secret ingredient that makes this tart stand out is the crushed lemon cookies used for the crust.

I wish I could say this was my idea, but credit goes to the gal who was working at Natural Grocers. I was looking for a gluten-free cookie mix or dough, and didn’t see any, so as she walked by, I asked her if she might be able to help me find some. They were sold out, and I told her I was making a tart and wanted a cheater way to make the crust (I was already making quite a few other things and wanted to cut a couple of corners). She suggested using crushed cookies mixed with butter as the crust. She said that her go-to pumpkin pie recipe has CRUSHED GINGERSNAPS AND BUTTER as the crust. In a nutshell, she’s a genius.

I chose some Tate’s gluten-free lemon cookies as the base and it.was.everything.

Let’s dive into this scrumptious treat that’s not only gluten-free but also bursting with flavor. It’s the perfect summer dessert!!

Gluten-Free Lemon Cookie Fruit Tart Recipe

Ingredients

For the Crust:

1.5 boxes of Tate’s Gluten-Free Lemon Cookies

4-5 tablespoons of melted butter (start with 4 and add more if you need it to form the dough)

For the Tart Filling:

1 container of Kite Hill Almond Milk Cream Cheese (or regular cream cheese)

1 tablespoon lemon zest

Juice of half a lemon

1 teaspoon vanilla
