I love it when you try new recipes and they come out better than you expected! This one, we did with my youngest daughter – she loves chocolate, so the choco chips were her idea :). I’ve been wanting to involve my kids in these recipes, because i want them to start eating healthy and thinking about their eating habits and choices.
Luckily she loved them!
So, these cookies are good as an adult and or kids healthy snack or breakfast!
Overnight oats are one of the best solutions for busy mornings when you know you have to eat breakfast but really don’t have time to make one. Mixed with the right ingredients, they can be a delicious, nutritious meal that will keep you fueled all morning.
This recipe blends fruits, oats and some of the healthiest seeds to really give you a boost in the morning. I’ve also added maca powder for that extra kick – and because i loveee the caramel taste.
What do you do when you love tahini sooo much that you want to add it in every meal?! You do just that! I find it very versatile, you can use it in your smoothies, in your salads, sandwiches, cakes, cookies!
This smoothie is delicious and the tahini really gives it its edge! Tahini is a great protein source, high in amino acids and healthy fats and a great source of vitamins and minerals.

What’s there not to love about berries?! A single day does not pass by that I don’t eat one berry or another! The latest addition to my pantry is acai powder; and I am going wild!! Lol! A few words on acai berries: they are packed with antioxidants, amino acids, good fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Hence they are a great antioxidant source, aiding in neutralizing damaging free radicals, boost your energy levels, support the immune system and promote a healthy digestive system, among other!
As far as tastes goes, to me it tastes like chocolaty wine! If that makes sense!
Yes, it can be done: carrots can be used in your smoothies! And you know what? They are delicious! You just need to use your imagination – pair them with a bit of vanilla, acave or maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger and voila!
And it’s also nutritious:
carrots are the source not only of beta-carotene, but also of a wide variety of antioxidants and other health-supporting nutrients.
pineapple is packed with vitamin C – the body’s primary water-soluble antioxidant, manganese and vitamins B6 and B1
ginger is known for its noninflammatory actions as well as gastrointestinal relieving powers.
cinnamon is reach in manganese, fiber and calcium.
Maybe, just maybe I’ve convinced you to try this one? 🙂
I know it is a bit of a cliche, but it is really all about the small and simple things in life!! For example, this morning i discovered how amazingly delicious mulberries are with lemon!!
It’s the season of fresh mulberries now and I am going through my mulberry frenzy phase! Hence this week’s posts are all about mulberries!
Confession: i did not know about these little gems – likely a chef friend of mine taught me everything i needed to know!
I usually don’t write long prologues, but just a couple of words on mulberries: highly antioxidant and a great source of vitamins (A,C,E, K and B compex) and minerals (iron,potassium, manganese, and magnesium) essential to good health.
When I woke up last Sunday I really craved for fruits and veggies. And I couldn’t decide what to have, so I threw everything i grabbed from my fridge in the mixer: mango, pineapple, avocado, spinach, kale, banana and orange juice! And it was just what I needed! Nutritious, delicious and refreshing!
