These delicious brownie bites came about while I was playing in the kitchen trying to alter my Avocado Brownie Recipe to create healthy treats for my little boy who is OBSESSED with both sweet potatoes and avocados. It was his first birthday, and I knew there’d be an entire village of people wanting to give him treats. Rather than running to the store for a traditional sugar-loaded cake that I knew would leave him wired for hours on end – I decided to whip up these Good news, they were a huge hit!

Aug 15, 2019

It’s 2:30 in the afternoon and you don’t just want, but NEED some chocolate. You may have a case of chronic cravings and it’s not that you have zero willpower to say no. It’s actually what you’re NOT eating that’s causing the unhealthy cravings. Rest assured – you’re not alone and I think I can help!

Aug 15, 2019

READY FOR A RECIPE THAT’S GOING TO TOTALLY REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR IDEA OF PIZZA? BEHOLD MY HEALTHY GRANOLA FRUIT PIZZA.

This sweet little pie packs a flavorful, nutritious punch of salty and sweet that’ll leave you feeling totally satisfied. It’s greek yogurt, peanut butter, granola, chia seeds, and fruit provides the PERFECT combination of carbs, healthy fats and a whole lot of PROTEIN. Oh, and just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, it does because it takes only 15 mins to make!

 

You’ll need a medium to large round pizza or cake pan like this one. I personally love this 12″ circular pan, because the edges keep the granola crust tight and in place! You can also make Mini Granola Fruit Pizza Bites (pictured below) and for those you’d need a large muffin pan and muffin tins. Then grab a large mixing bowl, a strainer, cutting board, knife and a flexible spatula.

 

Start by prepping your fruit of choice!...
