Grab the kids and make a quick raspberry sauce, mix up the lemon yogurt base, layer and swirl them together, then freeze until solid.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 6 hours
Servings: 6
Course: Snack
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces Greek yogurt 2%
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 4 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Make the raspberry swirl: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the raspberries with about half of the maple syrup. Stir and cook until the raspberries break down into a thick, jammy sauce, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
  2. Make the lemon yogurt base: In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, remaining maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness or lemon if desired.
  3. Layer the popsicles: Spoon a layer of lemon yogurt into each popsicle mold, then add a spoonful of raspberry sauce. Repeat layers, then use a skewer or thin knife to gently swirl the two together for a marbled effect.
  4. Insert sticks & freeze: Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove air bubbles. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until completely solid.
  5. Unmold & serve: To release, run warm water over the outside of the molds for 10–15 seconds. Gently pull out the popsicles and enjoy immediately, or wrap individually in parchment and store in a zip-lock bag in the freezer.

Course: Breakfast
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup zucchini chopped and frozen
  • 1/2 banana frozen
  • 1/2 cup berries frozen
  • 1/4 avocado
  • 1 Tbs almond butter or alternative
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1 cup almond milk or alternative

Method
 

Prep
  1. While it is not completely necessary to freeze the zucchini and banana, it does yield a creamier smoothie.
Make
  1. Add all ingredients to blender and process until creamy.

Notes

If you are making this a meal, we highly recommend adding a protein source such as the following:
  •  1 scoop protein powder (whey, pea, soy, etc.)
  •  Silken tofu
  • Fairlife milk or ultra-filtered milk instead of almond milk
  •  ¾–1 cup Greek yogurt
  •  ¾ cup cottage cheese (blends surprisingly smooth!)
Some of these additions might require slightly adjusting the liquid to achieve the right consistency.
Reminder: Nut butters are nutritious, but they aren’t a significant source of protein. One tablespoon typically provides only about 3–4 grams of protein while adding 90–100 calories.

Servings: 8
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups peaches peeled, diced (3 cups = 3 cups) fresh or frozen & thawed
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 piece small yellow onion finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup water

Method
 

Prep
  1. If using fresh peaches, peel by scoring an X on the bottom and blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to an ice bath – the skins slip right off. Dice and set aside. If using frozen peaches, make sure they are fully thawed and drained of excess liquid before starting.
Make
  1. Sauté the aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add peaches and cook down: Add the peaches to the pan and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are very soft and beginning to break down.
  3. Add remaining ingredients: Stir in the maple syrup, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, ground mustard, cayenne, salt, black pepper, and water. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Simmer: Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded. Taste and adjust – more maple syrup for sweetness, more vinegar for tang, or more cayenne for heat.
  5. Blend & finish: Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender directly in the pan (or carefully transfer to a blender in batches) and blend until smooth. Return to low heat for a few minutes if needed to reach your desired consistency. Taste one final time, then adjust the seasoning.
  6. Store: Keeps in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze in portions for up to 3 months.

Banana Pineapple Protein Muffins

This is not your traditional muffin that will leave you hungry an hour later!
These Banana Pineapple Protein Muffins were intentionally created with a combination of carbohydrates, protein, fat, and fiber. Eggs, protein powder, and the pancake mix contribute protein, while cashew butter adds healthy fats and cauliflower rice, banana, and pineapple add more plants and fiber. Chocolate chips add the fun!
Each serving provides 12 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber, making this a more balanced option than a traditional muffin. Enjoy one on its own for a lighter breakfast, or pair it with a protein booster (see below!) depending on your hunger and needs.
