My name is Amanda and welcome to my blog! I created this as an outlet for healthy recipe creation while searching for a sustainable and balanced life. Follow my journey and together we can encourage and cheer each other on!
Cinnamon Coconut Cold Brew Coffee
A sweet and refreshing iced coffee to finish out the summer with. This beverage is reminiscent of the popular brown sugar shaken iced espresso that everyone loves. I make mine with homemade cold brew coffee, a coconut sugar-cinnamon simple syrup, and my favorite coconut milk, frothed of course.
Cold Brew Coffee
Making your own cold brew is super easy and will save you from spending all your money at Starbucks. This is the perfectly smooth, not bitter, caffeinated base to create all kinds of flavorful iced coffee beverages.
Spelt Banana Blueberry Muffins
Banana bread is a staple in my family, and easy to adapt the ingredients for a healthy twist, just as long as you have ripe bananas. I use flour made from the ancient grain spelt, which has more fiber than regular wheat flour, and this paired with coconut sugar makes for a low GI sweet treat! Add antioxidant-rich blueberries and Ashwagandha powder for adrenal health, creating a balanced snack to nourish your body and mind.
Strawberry Rhubarb Freezer Jam
Sweetened with coconut sugar, this jam stores perfectly in the refrigerator and freezer. Orange zest and juice adds a bit of natural pectin resulting in a creamy soft texture. If you love that super tart rhubarb flavor, this is the jam recipe for you!
Blueberry Lemon Coffee Cake
Gluten Free and full of nutrient dense ingredients this satiating cake goes perfectly with your morning coffee and will keep you fueled for hours. Blueberries and lemon are a perfect match for the summer and combine those flavors with almond and vanilla to make for a decadent breakfast or dessert.
Pear Quinoa Bake
Nutrient and protein packed Quinoa offers that hearty whole grain texture while keeping this breakfast gluten-free. A crispy almond topping, warm spices and pears create a delicate sweetness to satisfying and fuel your morning.
Crunchy Malt Cereal (Grape Nuts)
If you love Grape Nuts, then this recipe is for you! Making this cereal from scratch allows you to control the size and texture so it turns out perfect! The malted barley flavor is so delicious on top of yogurt and gives that crunchy granola texture we all crave. You could enjoy as a cereal paired with your favorite milk, but I think it would be more fun as an ice cream topping! Malted crunchy sundaes… yes please!
Maple Cinnamon Granola
Packed with whole grains, antioxidants, and omega 3 fatty acids; this gluten free granola is nourishing and energizing! Puffed millet gives a super crispy texture like a healthy version of rice krispies, while real maple syrup and cinnamon gives this granola a slight sweetness perfect to top your yogurt or smoothie bowl.
Thai Dragon Fruit Salad
Sweet exotic fruit tossed with a coconut lime dressing makes for a beautiful and refreshing treat.
Blueberry Lemon Smoothie Bowl
Pineapple Avocado Smoothie Bowl
Avocado and greek yogurt create the creamiest base slightly sweetened by juicy pineapple. All you need is some crunch! Pistachios and coconut compliment these flavors perfectly.
