Sometimes you just need a little something sweet. These poppable snacks are the perfect calorie controlled way to enjoy a treat without going overboard!

High Protein Chia Pudding
I get “I’m just not hungry in the morning” a lot from my clients. Stomaching a full breakfast with eggs and the like it’s isn’t everybody’s jam and I totally get that!

This chia pudding is exactly that and it can be made dairy (and gluten) free as well if you’d like! This meal (or snack) is creamy, light, a touch sweet, and can be adjusted for preferenc

Blueberry Greek Yogurt Muffins
This recipe came about as a desire to get my toddler to eat some other form of muffin besides the ones I’ve been making her since she was one. Variety is the spice of life right?! I had some blueberries that needed to be used up in the fridge and she loooooves the Oikos triple zero berry yogurt so I thought I’d throw some of that in there too and see how they turned out! I think these are a winner and they are definitely macro friendly! Serve with a schmear of grass-fed butte

Chocolate Peppermint Loaf
I am sucker for all things chocolate peppermint. There’s something about rich chocolate and the slight bite of the peppermint that I just can’t get enough of. Unfortunately most chocolate peppermint goodies are calorie bombs so of course I had to work my magic to lighten up a fun and wintery treat! With under 250 calories a piece you can enjoy this as a treat with a cup of coffee in the morning or an afternoon snack with a cup of tea. The “secret” ingredient in this chocolate

Lightened Up Banana Bread
There are few things more delicious and comforting than a warm slice of banana bread with butter. 🍌🧈 Unfortunately, banana bread isn’t what I would consider “heathy” or something to eat when you’re counting calories but this lightened up version does not disappoint! We started with Martha Stewarts “Best” banana bread recipe and made some tweaks to lighten it up significantly. The original recipe is around 400 calories for 1/8 loaf and this lightened up version clocks i

Lightened Up Pumpkin Bread
Okay, I have to admit, I think you all who are obsessed with all things pumpkin when it is still 80+ degrees outside are a little crazy! 😜I love all things summer, sweat, and hot! 🥵 I don’t get fired up about the fall like a lot of people. However, I do love to use pumpkin purée in recipes because it’s high in beta carotene, fiber, potassium, and vitamin C!

Pumpkin Coconut Flour Muffins
I love all things pumpkin…except all of the high sugar calorie bomb items that you can get from coffee houses and bakeries this time of year. Pumpkin itself is an extremely healthy food. It’s when you mix a bunch of sugar and nutrient depleted flour to the mix that you run into a waistline busting issue. Pumpkin is high in fiber, beta-carotene, and potassium (more than a banana in a single cup!), just to name of a few of the benefits. If you eat breakfast, this is a quick

Minty Cocoa Bites
I can’t use the same name, but these are my much healthier version of the very popular Girl Scout Thin Mints® Cookie. Everyone seems to be obsessed with these cookies.
