Raw Chocolate Blueberry Coconut and Walnut Clusters

July 28, 2014 by Bethany And Rachel 2 Comments

I Love make raw chocolate using coconut oil! It makes chocolate much healthier and better tasting! My one complaint is that many store-bought coconut oils are very processed and refined, which doesn’t go well with my clean-eating diet. Thankfully I was lucky enough to receive a sample of Skinny Co Coconut Oil!! This type of oil is completely raw and goes through a careful and special process to make it the BEST COCONUT OIL YOU CAN BUY! Plus tons of health benefits, such as metabolism boosting, supports brain and heart health, and plenty more (click HERE for health benefits article)! I promise you that you will love this brand like I do!! Perfect for making raw chocolate for the blueberry coconut and walnut clusters!!

Colorful Papaya Avocado Slaw

July 25, 2014 by Bethany And Rachel 3 Comments

I love a nice refreshing summer salad. One with lots of colorful fruit and a light tangy dressing. I have only tried papaya once and fell in love with its honey-like sweetness at first bite. It pairs well with the tang from the lemon juice and balsamic vinegar. This is the perfect picnic salad, with only a few ingredients and takes only a few minutes to assemble. Make this before summer ends, you will regret it if you don’t!

Colorful Papaya Avocado Slaw

1 10 oz. bag broccoli slaw
1 cup papaya, chopped
1/2 avocado, chopped
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well.
Enjoy!

Healthy Gluten-free Coconut Cinnamon Crepes

July 23, 2014 by Bethany And Rachel 3 Comments

I guess the saying “the third times a charm is correct”. This is the third recipe I tried to make for crepes! The first two did not turn out well. One batter was too thick so they were pancakes and the other one was too fragile that each time I tried to flip them over they broke into pieces! I had enough of these failure recipes, so I bravely and carefully composed this recipe. And Voila they turned out awesome!! Easy to flip and they smell and taste like delicious coconut! Plus they are gluten-free and can be made vegan! This will be your new favorite go-to weekend breakfast!!

Gluten-free Coconut Cinnamon Crepes

1/2 cup oat flour
1 egg (or flax egg for vegan)
1 Tbsp. shredded unsweetened coconut
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. coconut extract
1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Blend all ingredients in a food processor for about 10 seconds (batter should be thin).
Spray cooking spray on a skillet and place on medium heat.
Spread batter thin onto heated skillet. Cook one one side for about a minute, then slide a spatula under the middle to flip to the other side. Cook for another minute on the other side.
Repeat with remaining batter.
Top with natural peanut butter, sliced apricots and coconut, or Lemon-Blueberry Chia Seed Jam (click HERE for recipe),if desired.
Enjoy!

These granola bars are even better! Peach butter and White Chocolate is a to-die-for combination, if you haven’t tried it, you will eventually understand! No added sugar or processed ingredients in these tasty snacks,only sweetened with Kauffman’s Sugar-free Peach Butter (Click HERE to get your jar)! These will become your kids new favorite granola bar!

They’re super duper easy to make! Here is what ya need:

bananas

walnuts

raisins

Tasty Clean-Eating Dessert: Caramel Apple Napoleons

July 19, 2014 by Bethany And Rachel 2 Comments

The three best flavor combinations are as follows: Peanut Butter and Chocolate, Blueberry and Lemons, and the best of all, Caramel and apples! I haven’t done a recipe with this amazing combo before so I thought I’d give it a shot! But I wondered, what can I make that is unique, healthy and tasty??? Did some thinking and came up with the idea of incorporating these flavors into a Napoleon-style cake, and boy was that a great idea! A napoleon is like a mini-layered cake, but this one, of course is 100% clean, all-natural, no-sugar-added, and a million percent out-of-this-world delicious! So if your looking to make something sweet,cinnamon, caramel, and crunchy, you’ve got yourself a true winner!

Caramel Apple Napoleons

2/3 cup oat flour
1/3 cup oats
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 Tbsp. honey/agave nectar
1/2 cup applesauce

1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

Filling

1 small apple, chopped
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 raisins, soaked in water for 2 hours

To assemble place on rectangle on the bottom then layer with greek yogurt (about 2 Tbsp.) and apples. Then top with another rectangle with more greek yogurt and apples. Then add another rectangle and add caramel (raisins) and walnuts on top.
Repeat with remaining ingredients for the second napoleon.
