Now that October is here, I’m already getting in the Halloween spirit!!! It’s actually my fave holiday of the year. So of course I’m starting to get inspired in the kitchen, beginning with these snack muffins 🎃

1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt

Butternut Squash Chocolate Chip Muffins


Fall is here and the coszy sweaters, teas and pumpkin vibes are high. As I was prepping my freezer with fall goodies, I stumbled upon a bag of butternut squash. I had planned on making some muffins with pumpkin BUT then I thought why not sub out the pumpkin for squash, right?

Omg they are sooo good. The are defined sugar free, gluten and dairy free as well. I used mashed banana and some honey to sweeten them. They are dense, moist and delicious. With a few chocolate chips added in there, they could make for a afternoon or evening snack or an add on at breekie!!!

You can sub out squash for pumpkin in this recipe and it would be just as tasty. I just happened to use up squash because it really needed to be eaten before getting completely freezer burned 😳

Recipe yields 10-12 muffins. Slather on some but butter over top of them and I’m sure even your kiddos will gobble them up!

Ingredients:

1 cup mashed banana
1 1/2 cups butternut squash puree
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 tsp cinnamon
2 cups gluten free 1:1 flour blend
1/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F and line a 12 hole muffin tin with liners. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine mashed banana, butternut squash puree, honey, and oil. Mix well.

Add remaining ingredients except chocolate chips to the bowl and mix until all of the ingredients are well incorporated.

Fold in chocolate chips, if using.

Portion out the batter into the prepared muffin tin and top with extra chocolate chips if desired. Makes 10-12 muffins.

Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the a muffin comes out clean.

Remove muffins from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before enjoying.

Creamy Berry Smoothie


It all started with a craving for some of my chocolate avocado pudding this morning lol 😂

Having just that for brekkie was all wrong but then I thought well I could add some of it in my smoothie to give it that creamy choco taste., right?

Omg it turned out sooooo good. So creamy and thick plus it was full of potassium, fiber and good healthy fats to boot!

If you haven’t seen my recent post for the avo pudding you can find it here…..Not Your Average Chocolate Avo Pudding

It’s really different and you would think it’s full of dairy but it’s vegan 🌱.

For the smoothie, I had fresh local produce from my CSA Share which made this smoothie even better.


Ingredients:

1 cup mixed blueberries and strawberries, fresh or frozen

2 tbsps of chocolate avocado pudding

2 tbsps of hemp seeds

2 tbsps of flax seeds

1 tsp of chia seeds

1 cup of coconut milk

Dash of cinnamon

3 pieces of frozen cauliflower to thicken it even more plus adds fiber

Optional: collagen powder (20g)

Water to cover

Place all ingredients into your high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

Enjoy!!!!

Post Workout/Yoga Fuel


After a strength training workout or a yoga class, I love to get something that’s nutrient dense and fresh into my belly but not too heavy. This snack does it perfectly 👌

With all the fresh summer local farmer markets fruit avail, this snack is easy to prep, has lots of good fats in it, healthy carbs and some protein too, making it perfect for a quick healthy snack.

What I put into mine can be adjusted depending on what fruit you have handy, but try to put in the added options for all the goodness!!!


Ingredients:

1/3 canteloupe or any other type of melon, cubed

5-6 freshly sliced strawberries or blueberries

2 tbsps of unsalted nut butter, drippy is best if you can

1/2 tsp cacao nibs

Dash of cinnamon

2 tbsps hemp hearts

1 big tbsp of coconut manna or butter

Toss all that up in a small bowl.

The cinnamon is helpful for blood sugar levels. The coconut manna adds extra fats. Hemp hearts are full of Omega 3 fats and protein. The fresh fruit are a great source of carbs. The cacao nibs gives it that crunch while the drippy nut butter is protein and added fats too!!!

Enjoy 🙂
