Hi everyone!<br />
<br />
I first want to send a <b>huge</b> thank you to all of you who supported Protein Treats by Nicolette. My passion would be non-existence without each and every one of you. There aren't enough words to express my thankfulness to all of you!<br />
<br />
This site has brought on a plethora of emotions, mainly joyfulness and fulfillment. I truly love creating delicious recipes to share with the world. Protein Treats by Nicolette began my journey towards recipe development and connected me with endless opportunities that I never thought of in my wildest dreams. I am forever grateful for that.<br />
<br />
The research I've immersed myself in over the past several years has opened my eyes to the food industry, sending shockwaves to my brain. These new discoveries pushed me to learn more about true health and wellness. My kids are a massive factor behind my slow transition towards our new way of eating and living. While I do enjoy baking with protein powder, my family and I do not consume it anymore. The kinds of protein powders we do use on occasion are plant-based and as minimally processed as possible.<br />
<br />
My main goal now is to offer simple, wholesome, and delicious foods. The meals I now serve to my family mirror my hopes for us to live and grow in complete wellness. I want to prepare food for my family that fosters sustainable well-being and continued prosperity. I rid our home of synthetic protein powders, refined sugars, refined oils, some dairy, and processed ingredients like all-purpose flour, food dye, and stuff I can't even pronounce.<br />
<br />
This new transformation within our home prompted me to rebrand myself - I created a new site bought a new domain name. And I'm PUMPED! I feel innately passionate about my latest findings, and I'm going to share it with the world.<br />
<br />
I have launched my new website and feel incredibly proud of it. It took a lot of time and learning to develop such a beast. But it's FINALLY HERE!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>WHISK</b> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">My two boys love nothing more than to whisk the 3 eggs I use to cook scrambled eggs every single morning. It's a ritual, really. They hold lots of pride when they help whisk whisk whisk. Naturally, considering the memories attached to this specific act of whisking the eggs to create light, fluffy, and airy scrambled eggs, I needed it to be part of my new domain name.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Defined as "<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">the state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal." This couldn't be more perfect. Being in a state of good health will always be important to my family and I. And I will always and forever actively pursue good health for my family and me. </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Soak medjool dates in water for 30 minutes. Drain water and put dates in a food processor or blender.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

3. Spoon mixture into a mixing bowl and stir in oats until all ingredients are well combined.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. Using your hands, roll about 1 tablespoon of mixture into a ball. Place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Repeat this step until 16 balls are made. <o:p></o:p></div>

Notes:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>To omit protein powder, use 1/4 cup cacao powder in its place. It won't be as sweet so if you want to keep the sweetness, add about 1/4 cup coconut sugar. </li>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You don’t have to be a fan of beets to thoroughly enjoy this deliciously addicting twist on hummus. Spread it on crackers, dollop it on toast, serve it with chicken, and use it as a dip for veggies. It’s simple to make and requires little time on your part. This beautiful pink hummus (that has zero artificial colors) is so fresh and flavorful because it’s made with simple, wholesome ingredients like beets, chickpeas, and tahini.</div>

<o:p> </o:p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I always do this to myself. I feel a genuine sense of shock when I realize how much better homemade foods are. Especially dishes made with fresh, wholesome ingredients. This dish is incredibly healthy, simple, and truly delicious. My kids devoured it. My husband devoured it. And I, the non-beet lover (honestly, I don’t even like them), devoured it. It makes a TON, and leftovers are everything to me. Especially when they're as delicious as this dish!</span></div>

<i>Method</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil and coat with non-stick spray.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Layer sliced beets on the sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and roast in the oven for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Once beets are cool, put them, along with the beans, tahini, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and cumin, in a food processor. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl a few times during this step.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. With the processor on, slowly drizzle in all of the olive oil. Blend until completely smooth.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. Spoon hummus into serving dish. Top with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, chopped parsley, and sunflower seeds, if desired.</div>

<i>Notes</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<ul>
<li>I found peeled and cooked organic beets at Costco. This was a huge timesaver. If you’re pressed for time, look in your grocery store for pre-peeled and cooked beets.</li>

With the perfect amount of spices and sweetness, this pear butter will have you whispering to (the more famous) apple butter to move aside. Apple butter a favorite fruit spread among many. My family equally loves pears as much as apples, prompting me to create pear butter. I’m so glad I did! It’s just as delectable on anything and everything that is served with apple butter. Spread it on toast, spoon it in oatmeal, and stir it in yogurt for a tasty pear-licious addition.</div>

Pears are in season, making them perfect for winter cooking. I love buying them in bulk and coming up with random ways to eat them before they get too ripe. Isn’t it crazy how one day they’re rock hard then two days later they’re mushy? Another reason this pear butter is <i>perfect</i>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;">
My kids also love it. They quickly get excited when they see me stir it in their oatmeal. I don’t blame them – I eat it directly off the spoon, it’s <i>that </i>good!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Combine pears, lemon juice, maple syrup, and star anise in a large pot. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce to simmer. Cover and cook for about 25-35 minutes, or until pears are soft. Stir often to prevent burning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Remove from heat and let cool, about 30 minutes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. Once cool, remove star anise and set it aside, then pour mixture into a food processor and blend until smooth. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. Return mixture to the pot, add in the star anise along with the remainder of ingredients and cook on low heat until mixture thickens. Stir often to prevent burning. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
* This step took me 1 hour. Adjust the time for consistency preference. Cook longer to thicken the pear butter and cook less for thinner pear butter. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I love when a dish is labeled as “breakfast” but in </span>reality<span style="font-size: 12pt;">, it’s a yummy treat suitable for dessert. I’m not saying these apple pie crepes could be a dessert but I’m also not saying they can’t be either. Listen, I’ll eat this “breakfast” dish every morning if you know what I mean!</span></div>

I think crepes are often overshadowed by oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, etc., and I’m not quite sure why. They are super easy to make, only require a few, simple ingredients, and can be filled with a variety of foods, from chocolate to lemon curd, fruits, and even savory ingredients! <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Start with the apple filling by combining all filling ingredients in a medium to large saucepan. Place saucepan on the stove over medium heat and bring to a low simmer. Cook until apples soften, stirring occasionally, about 30-40 minutes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. While apples are cooking, begin making the crepes by adding the eggs, milk, and water to large mixing bowl. Whisk for about 1-2 minutes, or until mixed well and lightly frothy. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Add in flour and cinnamon and whisk again for 1-2 minutes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. Heat a round pan on the stovetop over low heat. Coat the pan with coconut oil then pour about ¼ cup crepe batter into pan. Swirl the pan to evenly disperse the batter then place it back over the heat.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
* I recommend using an 8-10” pan<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. Cook about 2-4 minutes, or until the surface of crepe is set. Flip and cook another 1-3 minutes, until lightly golden brown. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
* If you prefer soft crepes, cook 1-2 minutes per side. For a more classic crepe, cook a bit longer or until golden brown on both sides. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6. Lay cooked crepes on a plate or flat surface until ready to eat. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
7. Spoon solid portion of coconut cream into a mixing bowl. Beat on high speed until smooth and creamy. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
8. Assemble the crepes by evenly filling each with apple pie mix and topping with whipped coconut cream. Enjoy!<o:p></o:p></div>

Notes<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Use any full-fat milk of choice. Cow, coconut, cashew, or almond milk<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> are all good choices.</span></li>
<li>I recommend placing the can of coconut cream in the fridge the night before you make the recipe. It helps harden the solid portions, which you’ll use for the cream.</li>

<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt;">Nourish your body
this winter season with a big bowl of smooth and creamy butternut squash soup.
This particular vegan-friendly version is seasoned perfectly and sweetened with
green apples and a touch of maple syrup. It’s hearty enough to enjoy this dish
alone, or just as delicious served alongside a main dish.</span></div>

I like to top mine
with hot sauce for added heat, cream to counter the hot sauce, and butternut
squash seeds and croutons for added crunch. It’s one of my favorite soups of all
time. I tend to make this over and over during the cold, winter months. All
boys love it, too!</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">This recipe is free
of dairy, but I also included what you can use if you want a rich, buttery
flavor.</span></div>

Ingredients</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li>2 small red onions, peeled and chopped</li>
<li>2 tablespoons avocado oil (see notes)</li>
<li>4 lbs. butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and chopped (see
notes)</li>
<li>2 green apples, cored and chopped</li>
<li>48 ounces vegetable stock (see notes)</li>
<li>4 cloves garlic</li>
<li>¼ cup maple syrup</li>
<li>1 tablespoon cumin</li>
<li>2 teaspoons salt</li>
<li>1 teaspoon ground pepper</li>
<li>1 cup coconut cream</li>
<li>Optional: for extra heat, add 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper</li>
</ul>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Method</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. In a large stockpot over medium heat, add onions and
avocado oil. Cook for 10 minutes, allowing the onions to darken and caramelize.
(see notes)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Add butternut squash, stock, garlic, maple syrup, cumin,
salt, and pepper to the pot, stirring to combine.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Bring mixture to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Stir
occasionally and cook for 1 hour, preferably longer (I start mine around 1pm to
serve at 6pm – the longer you simmer, I have found the more flavorful the soup
will be)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. When ready to serve, add coconut cream and maple syrup. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. Use an immersion blender to blend soup until completely
creamy. You may also use a blender (make sure soup is cool first).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6. Garnish with red pepper flakes, hot sauce, coconut cream,
and/or croutons. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Notes</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li>I prefer to use grass-fed butter, as it adds a rich flavor.
But to keep this recipe vegan and dairy-free, avocado oil is a good choice as
well.</li>
<li>The local Costco carries organic butternut squash pre-peeled
and chopped. It’s worth every extra penny! Look for this if you want to save
time (& an arm workout)</li>
<li>I prefer to use chicken broth to vegetable stock. To keep
this recipe vegan, vegetable stock is a good option.</li>
<li>When caramelizing the onions, let them cook without touching
them for 5 minutes or so. Charring them gives the sweet flavor you want for the
soup.</li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 16px;">Unlike the traditional chocolate chess pie loaded with sugar and processed evaporated milk, this version is made with simple ingredients, like pecans, figs, and coconut oil. The end result is a smooth and decadent pie filling loaded with rich chocolate flavor on top of a flaky pecan crust.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 16px;">Since this version has no eggs, baking is not necessary. Both the filling and crust are quickly made with a food processor.</span><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 16px;">It takes roughly 10 minutes of active prep time and once assembled, the pie goes in the fridge. You honestly won’t believe how easy it is to prepare! Not only that, but it’s also delicious and kid-approved. An overall win for the entire family.</span></div>

Brown rice flour is a whole grain flour that has a mild, nutty flavor. It’s a versatile addition or substitution to gluten-free recipes, especially baked goods.<br />
<br />
Using a combination of brown rice flour and almond meal flour creates a pleasing texture, dense enough to stay together but light enough to melt in your mouth.<br />
<br />
And who doesn’t love chocolate chips?! Of course, the chocolate chips are a delicious addition to the banana bread. Although, if you choose to leave them out, I believe you will still be delighted in the taste and texture of the bread.<br />

These rich and chewy cookies are free of gluten, grains, and wheat and will 100% satisfy any chocolate craving you may have. I love using almond meal flour for cookies because it’s a healthy alternative to white flour while giving cookies a soft and chewy texture. And let’s also add chocolate chips to them because more chocolate always makes life a little better!</div>

Method<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
2. Combine almond flour, cacao powder, coconut sugar, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, and almond butter until smooth. Pour this mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
4. Stir batter until well combined. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
5. Using a small ice cream scoop (or spoon), drop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough onto the sheet pan. Repeat this until 12 cookies are formed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
6. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Cool cookies on a wire rack then enjoy!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Notes<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Use an almond milk with no added sugars or preservatives.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Use chocolate chips or a chocolate bar with minimal, whole ingredients. Choose one with no artificial sweeteners, refined sugars, or refined oils. I like these.</li>
</ul>

Flavorful, festive, easy to make, kid-approved, sheet pan sized gingerbread cake with orange cream icing! This is the PERFECT cake for a holiday get-together. It’s large enough to serve several people and definitely tasty enough to get people wanting more. The lightly sweetened gingerbread cake goes perfectly with the 3 ingredient orange cream icing, which is so light and airy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

A little tip that I thankfully discovered – the cake stores best in the fridge. When you’re ready to eat a piece, or two, pop it in the microwave for 8-10 seconds. The icing literally melts into the cake, creating a creamy and dreamy treat!<o:p></o:p></div>

My kids LOVE this cake. I don’t feel bad about giving them some either. If you don’t want to make an entire sheet cake, you can cut the recipe in half and make mini muffins. Simply spoon the cake batter into mini muffin molds and bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes! Top with icing. It DOES freeze incredibly well, so keep that in mind before you decide against the sheet pan size.<o:p></o:p></div>

<i>Method</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 12x18” sheet pan with non-stick spray or coconut oil. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Combine the flours, baking soda, ginger and cinnamon in a medium sized mixing bowl. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Combine coconut sugar and coconut oil in another separate large mixing bowl. Using a hand-held mixer, mix on medium speed until combined.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. Add applesauce, molasses, egg replacement, and vanilla to the bowl of coconut oil/sugar. Mix until smooth. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6. Add half of the dry ingredients to the bowl mix on low speed until well combined. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
7. Add the milk to the batter and mix until well combined.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
8. Add in the remainder of the dry ingredients to the large mixing bowl and mix until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary to ensure all of the ingredients are incorporated. Take note not to over-mix the batter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
9. Pour cake batter into prepared pan, spread down evenly, and bake for 14-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
10. Let cake cool completely and sit in the fridge for at least an hour before adding frosting. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
11. Scoop out the solid portion of the coconut cream into a mixing bowl. Discard liquid (or set aside and save for future use). Beat on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until creamy and fluffy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
12. Add in powdered sugar and orange zest. Beat on high speed until smooth. <o:p></o:p></div>

Notes:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
* I used an egg replacement that was a combination of chia seeds and garbanzo beans.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
* Place the canned coconut cream in the fridge for at least 8 hours, preferably 12. This encourages separation of the cream and liquid. You should be able to scoop enough out of 3 (15 oz.) cans. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Complete steps 1-2 one day before the party. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">1. Pour 3 cups cranberry ginger mix, ¾ cup orange juice, 4 orange slices, and 5 cinnamon sticks in one pitcher. Repeat this step for the second and third pitchers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">2. Stir and place pitchers in the fridge.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">3. Add 1¾ cups rum and 3 cups sparkling water to each pitcher. Stir, Serve in a tall cocktail tumbler filled with ice. Garnish with mint, orange slices, and cinnamon sticks if desired.</span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Notes:</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">- alcohol-free option: omit the rum and add an additional 1¾ cups sparkling water to each pitcher.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">- use fresh or bottled orange juice in this recipe. If you enjoy drinking fresh-squeezed orange or grapefruit juices or would like an easy way to extract fresh citrus juice, I recommend a citrus juicer, like <a href="https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=svgesKtk3pw&mid=1155&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vitacost.com%2Fblack-decker-citrusmate-plus-juicer-34-oz-white" target="_blank">this one</a>. They're incredibly convenient and easy to use!<br />- you can also substitute rum with vodka.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Unlike a traditional cheesecake, these sweet potato cheesecake parfaits are no-bake, fun to make, easy to assemble, and leave no reason to stress about the dreaded crack appearing. Guests will wonder if these parfaits are rich with dairy and eggs by their delectable cheesecake texture and flavor. Let them know they’re vegan-friendly and made with simple, whole ingredients, which will pleasantly surprise the entire holiday crowd. Pumpkin is a staple ingredient on Thanksgiving day, and switching things up at the party by offering a dessert made with sweet potatoes will definitely please many individuals who are sick of pumpkin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">1. Soak cashews in water for at least 6 hours, preferably 12.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">2. Place 6 cans of coconut cream in the fridge.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">3. For the cookie crust, place the cookies in food processor and blend until a cookie crumble forms. Set aside.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">4. For the pumpkin cheesecake, drain the cashews and add them to a food processor along with the rest of the cheesecake layer ingredients.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">5. Turn processor on and blend until mixture is smooth and creamy, about 4-5 minutes. Stop to scrape the sides of the bowl a few times, or as necessary. Pour mixture into a bowl.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">6. Place the cheesecake mixture in the fridge while you make the whipped topping.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">7. For the whipped topping, scoop solid portion of the coconut cream into the food processor.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">8. Turn processor on and blend coconut cream until smooth and fluffy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">9. To assemble, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cookie crust layer into a 4 oz. glass. Next, spoon about 2 tablespoons of pumpkin cheesecake layer on top of the cookie crust layer. Then, spoon about 2 tablespoons of whipped coconut cream layer on top of the pumpkin cheesecake layer. Repeat this process until two of each layer is formed in one serving glass.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">10. Sprinkle with cinnamon and store in the fridge until ready to serve.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">- this recipe makes a lot! If you have a 12-cup food processor or smaller, I recommend preparing half of the recipe at a time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">- feel free to use your favorite cookie for the crust. To keep it seasonal, look for cinnamon, pecan, or spiced vanilla cookie flavors.<br />- to save time, look for your favorite dairy-free whipped cream at your local grocery store to replace homemade whipping coconut cream.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">de-clutter the home by getting rid of items you no longer need. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">list cleaning tasks to complete, starting a week before the party, and check off a couple of tasks each day.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">use earth-friendly tableware that can be recycled to reduce dish cleaning.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">fill the sink with warm water and mild plant-based dish soaps for a place to hide and soak dirty dishes during the party.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">fill take-home containers, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079QPQLWH/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B079QPQLWH&linkCode=as2&tag=3572202-20&linkId=9c12fb378e9b4e2d0daf356a5f4f60fb" target="_blank">like these</a>, with leftover food and encourage guests to take one as they leave. Less food to store or throw away!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">purchase cleaning products online.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">after guests leave, immediately attend to spills and stains. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">if it's too late for major cleaning once guests leave, at minimum take out trash and recycling before bed and leave other matters for the following day.</span></li>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Honestly this, along with pancakes (<a href="http://www.proteintreatsbynicolette.com/2018/07/homemade-blueberry-chia-whole-wheat.html" target="_blank">check out this pancake recipe</a> I make almost every Sunday) and overnight oats, is one of my favorite go-to breakfast meals. This oatmeal dish keeps me full for a longer period of time because it’s full of fiber + healthy fats + satisfying oats.</span></div>

PROTEIN OPTION: * For an additional protein boost, add 1-2 scoops of your favorite protein powder. I recommend using a vanilla or berry flavored protein powder. To keep it vegan, choose a vegan protein powder and to keep it refined sugar free, check the labels! For 1 scoop of protein powder, add an additional ¼ cup almond milk. For 2 scoops of protein powder, add an additional 1/3 cup almond milk. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What’s better than a soft, chewy, and delicious pecan cookie? A soft, chewy, and delicious pecan cookie with a spider web design made from chocolate! The combination of pecans and </span>spelt<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> flour creates a mildly sweet and nutty cookie that pairs nicely with the dark and white chocolate. You can easily make this cookie vegan with just a few simple changes, too.</span></div>

<u>Cookies<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2 cups raw pecans<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 cup spelt flour<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
¾ cup + 2 tablespoons coconut sugar<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons cashew milk <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(*see notes)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 egg (*see notes)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 teaspoon vanilla extract<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Spider Web Icing<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
½ cup dark chocolate chips, melted <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
¼ cup white chocolate chips, melted<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Method<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Place pecans in a food processor and blend until a pecan flour forms. Be careful not to over-blend, as this will create a pecan butter consistency. You want the consistency to be similar to almond flour. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Add spelt flour and coconut sugar to the pecan flour and pulse to combine. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cashew milk, egg, and vanilla extract.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. Pour flour mixture into the bowl of wet ingredients and stir until well combined. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6. Using a small ice cream scoop drop cookie dough onto sheet pan, forming 20 cookies total. Flatten each cookie using a spoon or your fingers. The dough will be sticky, so lightly damp you fingers so it doesn’t stick to your hand. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
7. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes. Let cookies cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, take a knife and cut the dome off of each cookie, creating an even flat top. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
8. For the icing, make sure you have the melted dark chocolate in a bowl and pour the melted white chocolate in a zip-lock bag.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
8. When cookies are cool, spread a layer of melted dark chocolate on top of each cookie. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
9. Before the dark chocolate dries, cut off a very small bottom corner of the zip-lock bag, creating a small hole. Slowly squeeze the white chocolate out and create a swirl on top of the dark chocolate, beginning in the center of each cookie and working your way to the outside. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
10. Take a sharp knife and, beginning in the center where the swirl pattern begins, gently draw a straight line to the outside of the cookie. Repeat this 5 more times on the same cookie, creating a spider web design. Repeat this step until all cookies have a spider web design.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
11. Let chocolate dry then enjoy!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I was at my computer trying to think of a creative way to make brownies. Or fudge. I really couldn't decide because they're both delicious choices. Thinking, thinking, thinking....when I overthink recipes, I tend to over-complicate them as well. So I decided to create something rich and fudgy, and wrote down simple ingredients like cocoa powder, dates, and coconut oil. I mean you can't go wrong with that combo, right? </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">It's at that point I randomly thought of pecan pie. To which I whipped up </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">these delicious, decadent, fudgy, chocolate pecan pie bars. A tasty treat that falls somewhere between a brownie and fudge. Te absolute best of both worlds!</span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Traditional pecan pies tend to have a lot of crap in them - corn syrup, sugar, crap. These bars are easy to make, the perfect serving size, and taste JUST like pecan pie with an exciting addition of chocolate. Oh my! It's as if chocolate chess pie had a baby with a pecan pie. So good! And none of that traditional recipe crap is used to make these bars. Dates, coconut oil, cocoa powder, and coconut flour are among a few of the healthy ingredients used to create this recipe. </span></span></div>

- This can be Whole 30 approved if you omit the maple syrup and use extra water instead. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- You can substitute the maple syrup with any sticky sweetener of your choice. It won’t be vegan if you chose to use honey. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- You can substitute the coconut oil with regular butter or ghee. It won't be vegan is using butter or ghee.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- For added protein, use your favorite vegan protein powder. For the filling, replace ½ cup cocoa powder with ¼ cup chocolate protein powder + ¼ cup cocoa powder.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- If you don’t like pecans, you can make this recipe with any nut of your choice. Just toast and stir in the desired nut.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Are you a fig newton fan? Do you even know what those are? They taste straight up artificial. Even if you’re a lover of fig newtons or not, these cookie bars stuffed with an </span>ooey<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> gooey homemade fig filling are the upscale, non-artificial version of the refined sugar-filled grocery store fig newton cookies. The cookie bar is incredibly soft and chewy. The fig filling is fresh, sweet, and delicious. It’s a delightful combination you must try!

Rich and silky gluten-free chocolate mousse tarts are a great way to start or end your day! The tangy raspberries on top compliment the silky smooth chocolate filling perfectly. There are also 2 secret ingredients in this recipe that gives these tarts an extra nutritional boost with extra healthy fats and fiber. In the notes at the end of the recipe, I included a list of simple, suitable substitutes to make this treat vegan.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Stir together crust ingredients in a bowl until mixture is crumbly. Evenly spoon mixture into each tart dish and press down with your fingers, forming a crust. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Bake crusts in the oven for 6 minutes. Let cool while you make the filling. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. Next, combine all of the filling ingredients in a food processor. Blend until mixture is smooth and free of lumps. This step may take 5-10 minutes. Stop to scrape the bowl several times in between blending. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. Spoon tart filling into each dish and smooth down with a spoon. Place tarts in the fridge for at least 3 hours. <o:p></o:p></div>

Notes:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
* To omit protein powder, you can do the following: simply substitute crust protein powder with an additional 3 tablespoons oat flour. Simply substitute filling protein powder with an additional 3 tablespoons cocoa powder. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
* You can also make this vegan by choosing a chocolate vegan protein powder and using maple syrup instead of honey. </div>

These cookies bake perfectly when you use an ice cream scoop to drop them on the sheet pan. They flatted out just enough and form into crinkled, chewy cookies. The outside is a bit chewy and the inside is soft. YUM!</div>

Don’t let the word vegan fool you – it’s one of the creamiest sauces I’ve ever tried and it’s
loaded with hearty vegetables! Which means there are so many added benefits to this
dish. It’s not only delicious but also jam-packed with nutrients. Serve it over
rice, pasta, quinoa, or (if not vegan) grilled chicken or seafood. Either way
you enjoy it, you will not be disappointed at all!<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Even my 3 year old, who commonly turns his cute little nose up at vegetables, loved it! I mean what's not to love? Anything with the word CREAM in it is almost a guaranteed delicious dish! With no dairy, soy eggs, artificial sweeteners, or gluten, this dish will accommodate almost any dietary need. </span><br />

chopped (about 4 cups)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

bay leaves, thyme, basil, celery, lemon peel, oregano, mustard seed, cumin,

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Make sure all your vegetables are washed and prepared. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Heat a large stovetop pan (I used a deep 12” pan) over
medium to medium-high heat.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Add olive oil, bell peppers, mushrooms, broccoli,
zucchini, all-purpose seasoning, and salt to the pan and stir to combine. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. Sautee for 10-12 minutes, or until the vegetables start
to soften. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. To the pan, add in the coconut cream, nutritional yeast,
tomatoes, corn, and spinach. The pan will be quite full. Once the spinach cooks
down, you will be able to fit everything in the pan. Continue to stir until
spinach wilts down. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6. Decrease the heat to low and let sauce slow simmer for
another hour, stirring occasionally. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
7. When ready to serve (I served this with brown rice paste
but have also served it over chicken, quinoa, and rice), stir in fresh basil
and garnish with parsley.<o:p></o:p></div>

soft serve is a must have treat before the fall weather comes at you full swing. It's honestly a great treat no matter what the weather is up to because who doesn't love chocolate + bananas? This particular recipe in incredibly easy to make and has a vegan option, too. It's also a no churn soft-serve recipe, which makes it quick to make - less than 5 minutes! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">My entire family chowed down, more specifically my 3 year old and 1 year old boys. And by chowed down I mean my 3 year old was saying "more please" as he's taking the next bite and my 1 year old was signing please and saying "pooooof" (which is his "please") basically the whole time it was on the table. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">It’s that time of year again. That time when school item checklists are complete, wardrobe piles are washed, folded, and put away, class schedules are ironed out, and all moms start to cry…..tears of joy that the kids are back in school!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #565656; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #565656; font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then the first week passes. Oh, you optimistically thought life gets easier? You must have forgotten about the incessant “I’m hungry”, “I’m bored”, “It’s too early”, “Can I have a snack”, “I don’t want breakfast”, “But, I’m hungry”, “I don’t feel good”, “I’m sick”, “Can I stay home because I’m hungry and I’m sick” demands. It’s THAT time of year when the tired, hungry, sick grumbling begins. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">But dread not! I am here to help spread some deliciousness, positivity, and healthy facts in an effort to make THAT time of year a </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">little bit easier. Because sometimes, regardless of how well you plan, you can’t muster up the brain cells to think of a healthy, satisfying meal for yourself. Much less your kids. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">And with the unlimited options for supplements and cold remedies, deciding on the right ones can feel overwhelming.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let me help - I’ve teamed up with <a href="https://www.vitacost.com/" style="color: purple;" target="_blank">Vitacost</a> to run this “A Healthy Start to the School Year” campaign. I am pumped about this campaign because I feel like it's right up my alley. I LOVE reading and learning tidbits on over-all health, supplements, and nutrition. Especially when it comes to children (I have 2 boys of my own so I'm in a constant state of trying to decide what is healthiest for them). I am a fact finder, research queen (a term coined by my husband), wholesome food advocate, major germaphobe, knowledge is power mom!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I have been ordering products from them for nearly 5 years now. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this company. Shopping from them is ridiculously fast, easy, & convenient. They carry all the brands I like (popular name brands and their own brand that's both more affordable & top quality), they have great sales on top of their already discounted priced items, and the <a href="https://www.vitacost.com/" style="color: purple;" target="_blank">Vitacost</a> team is incredibly helpful and kind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Breakfast. Despite how cheesy this sounds, I personally think breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Consuming a breakfast that has a healthy dose of protein, fat, carbohydrates, and fiber is a guaranteed way to jumpstart your metabolism, eliminate the mid-day energy decline, and help sustain your focus and attention for longer periods of time. I think it’s safe to say that most people have come to know the true meaning of “hangry” (feeling angry because you’re hungry), and we don’t want that for our kids. OR for our teachers who have to be in close quarters with, on average, 22 kids from 8am-3pm!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Filling and tasty, gluten-free oats pack on 5g of fiber per serving (½ cup) which tallies up to be 20% daily value for fiber. That’s both a great way to start your day and a great way to keep you full for a longer period of time. You’ll want to use regular rolled oats for this recipe. Quick-cooking or instant oats will turn out to have an undesirable mushy consistency.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Almond milk is our liquid preference because it adds pleasant flavor and creaminess to overnight oats. You can substitute almond milk with any type of milk you prefer. Cow’s milk, cashew milk, and coconut milk all create smooth and creamy oats. If you prefer to not use milk, water is also a reasonable substitute. It will, however, lessen the taste & richness of the recipe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: cambria; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">You honestly do not have to use maple syrup – the berries, nut butter, and milk combined create a perfectly sweet flavor. However, if you like a little extra sweetness in your oats, I recommend using organic maple syrup. Other options include honey, agave, or brown rice syrup.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Almond butter adds not only creaminess and richness to your overnight oats but also fiber, protein, and healthy fats that will keep you feeling full for a longer period of time. Two tablespoons of smooth, unsalted almond butter contains 3g fiber (12% daily value), 7g protein (14% daily value), and 17g healthy fats (22% daily value). If you prefer another type of nut butter, any substitute will work perfectly. I personally love almond butter, cashew butter, or peanut butter for overnight oats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Chia seeds, although small, pack on a ton of nutrition, making them an easy way to add healthy protein, fiber, and fat to your meals. One tablespoon of chia seeds contains 5g fiber (20% daily value), 3g protein (6% daily value), and 4g fat (6% daily value). It packs on more nutritional value with 80mg calcium (8% daily value), 1.9mg iron (11% daily value), 120mg phosphorus (12% daily value), and 40mg magnesium (10% daily value). They’re also loaded with healthy omegas, including omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids, and omega-9 fatty acids. This little seed is truly a superfood! I make an effort to add chia seeds to everything, including savory dishes like meatballs, meatloaf, and salads along with sweet dishes like oatmeal, yogurt, and pancakes (check out these <i><a href="http://www.proteintreatsbynicolette.com/2018/07/homemade-blueberry-chia-whole-wheat.html" style="color: purple;" target="_blank">Homemade Blueberry Chia Whole-Wheat Pancakes</a></i><span style="color: red;"> </span><i></i>I make almost every Sunday).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Another superfood that can add an abundance of nutrients to your meals is raw, organic hemp seeds. 1 tablespoon of shelled and raw organic hemp seeds pack on 3g protein (6% daily value), 80mg calcium (8% daily value), 1.4mg iron (8% daily value). They are also loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, and potassium. This is another seed can I easily toss in other recipes – salads, pancakes, energy bites, and soups.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cinnamon is a powerful antioxidant, protecting your body from damaging free radicals.

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Everyone in my family LOVES fresh berries, with our favorite two being blueberries and blackberries.

Other fruit options for overnight oats include strawberries, raspberries, banana, mango, peaches, nectarines, and apples. If you want the overnight oats to last all week, you’ll simply add fresh fruit to the oats at the time you sit down to eat. That way you don’t have to worry about the fruit going bad if they’re mixed in the oats at the beginning of the week.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Another option (if you want to add the fruit in the beginning and it last all week) is using freeze-dried fruit.

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The past recommendation of avoiding fats for optimal health has been debunked. Yes, fat contains more calories per serving than protein and carbs. But if you’re smart about fat intake (and it’s been shown that coconut oil helps improve brain function in certain populations <span style="color: red;"><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15123336" style="color: purple;" target="_blank">[7]</a></span>) and the source/quality of fats you consume, your body and mind will thank you. Coconut oil is also made of medium-chain triglycerides that can increase “good” cholesterol, also known as HDL. <span style="color: red;"><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26545671" style="color: purple;" target="_blank">(8)</a><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I chose hemp protein powder because it contains a specific kind of protein that is easier to digest than other forms of protein. One serving has 15g of raw, organic protein, 8g of fiber, 9 essential amino acids, and 2g of essential fatty acids. It’s also dairy-free and vegan friendly, making it the perfect protein source for a wholesome afternoon snack.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Cacao is best known for the incredible amount of antioxidants it contains, along with iron, magnesium, and calcium.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I like to use freeze-dried fruits in snack recipes because it extends the shelf life, allowing the snack last all week (if the kids don’t devour them all before the week is over). Don't be fooled, though. Freeze-dried blueberries pack on the same nutritional benefits as fresh blueberries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lemon essential oil smells like….a lemon! Like most citrus scents, lemon is uplifting, refreshing, and energizing. It’s positive effects don’t end there - studies have shown that lemon essential oil exhibits significant inhibitory effects and antibacterial activity against one or more bacteria strains.<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1693916/" style="color: purple;" target="_blank"> (4)</a></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Witch hazel is derived from the leaves and bark of a particular shrub that is native to North America. It’s most known for its ability to help ease skin inflammation while also offering soothing abilities for people with sensitive skin. The faint scent of witch hazel smells delightful on it’s own but is the perfect liquid to mix with essential oils.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Along with being a carrier for essential oils, almond oil is used to treat dry skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema.

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When used topically, vitamin E oil has been shown to dramatically improve dry skin with each use. Since most anti-bacterial sprays easily dry out your hands, I add this natural ingredient to the mix to act as both a carrier for the essential oil and a moisturizer for your hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This recipe is incredibly easy to make and takes only 5 minutes to complete. It is cost effective as well. Buying this <span style="color: red;"><a href="https://www.vitacost.com/eo-essential-oil-products-organic-hand-sanitizer-spray-lavender-2-fl-oz-1" style="color: purple;" target="_blank">brand</a></span><span style="color: red;"></span>that I have used in the past costs $4.24 per 2 ounce bottle. When making this homemade moisturizing hand sanitizer spray, it costs roughly $1.50 per 2 ounce bottle. You’re also saving money on hand lotion because you don’t need it with this spray! If using the exact amount and recommended ingredients, you can make this recipe a total of 2 times. You would only have to replace the witch hazel for future recipes. Every other ingredient provides enough product for at least 22 additional recipes. Another benefit of making your own hand sanitizer spray is the ability to avoid ingredients with known negative side effects, like parabens, phthalates, and triclosan. These nasty ingredients are unfortunately found in common, name-brand hand sanitizers. However, your mind (+ hands) will be at ease when using this homemade spray on your family.</span></div>

I found the ingredients used in this recipe are generally considered safe. Please make sure to use high-quality essential oils (read the labels and make sure it’s 100% essential oil with no added “fragrance”). Please know that while these oils are considered natural, they are powerful compounds extracted from plants that could possibly cause a reaction to you, your family, and even your pets. I encourage you to perform a “patch test” with each essential oil </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">(test a small area of skin with diluted essential oil)</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> on every family member to ensure there are no adverse reactions. Consult with your healthcare provider before beginning any use of essential oils. If you notice any type of reaction in yourself, you children, or you pets, discontinue use immediately and contact your healthcare provider.</span></div>

I think I just went to PESTO HEAVEN! It's one of those moments where I asked myself "Why on earth have you not made this sooner"? I could literally eat this off of a spoon. It's fresh, light, flavorful, and incredibly versatile. Not only that but it's also way too easy to make and freeze for future use. You've got to make this recipe. I promise you'll never go back to jarred store-bought pesto again!</div>

I am all about that freezer-friendly food stash life. Having a stash of freezer-friendly dishes available is important for days when you either can't prepare a meal or just don't feel like it. It's like that moment you truly accept meal defeat but then realize there IS something healthy in the freezer! This is the perfect recipe for those moments. This recipes makes 3 cups total, allowing you to freeze 2 of those cups in the freezer. 1 cup will comfortably feed 4 people for 2 meals!</div>

I mentioned above that this pesto is incredibly versatile. I mean that. I've eaten this pesto with pasta, chicken, fish, and beef. It's DELICIOUS no matter what you eat it with, even if that is just a spoon. The flavor profile tastes delicious with all things savory. You could each serve it as a dip alongside crackers!</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">With the upcoming
winter months, why not add butternut squash to these muffins that not only adds
moisture but also adds a healthy dose of vitamin A and vitamin C! I don’t know
about you, but I’ll happily consume fudgey chocolate muffins than have an added
benefit of germ fighting vitamins! Replacing the butter with butternut squash
also helps keep the fat content down to only 4.1g per muffin. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Win-win!</span></div>
