 Still on my quest for healthy ways to gain weight, and these babies are AMAZING! They're like little ice cream bites, and they taste just like cookies and cream ice cream! The wonderful thing about them is that they use no Oreos, no additives, and no chemicals! Let's be real here, Oreos are practically a chemical cocktail, and our bodies do not need the extra toxins! These fat bombs are, gluten-free, sugar-free, organic, Paleo, Keto, and absolutely DELICIOUS! The cookie part is made with almond flour and cacao powder, and they're really easy to convert to dairy-free if you don't eat dairy! Cookies N' Cream Fat Bombs!
Ingredients:
For the "Oreo Cookie" Crumbs: 2/3 cup almond flour 2 Tbs. cacao powder (heaping) 3 Tbs. Lakanto powdered sweetener 2 Tbs. butter (melted) pinch of salt For the Vanilla Cream: 2/3 cup full fat coconut milk 4 Tbs. Lakanto powdered sweetener pinch of salt 2/3 cup of heavy whipping cream (or chilled coconut cream) 2 tsp. vanilla extract Directions:

 I'm currently on a fat bomb kick, and these are my first try at fat bombs!

These babies are glorious little summer treats and taste like mini little cheesecake bites! Delicious! Easy! And Beautiful! My favorite combination! Keto Cheesecake Fat Bombs!

 Did you know that cinnamon can actually be used as a medicinal herb? It can be used as an anti-bacterial, and it's also known to kill stealth bacteria in our bodies like micoplasma! Who knew?! I have a lot of healthy recipes I've been trying lately that are going to go up on here soon, but I had to postpone all of those because this recent recipe I just made was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! This recipe taught me so much about clean eating and how you don't have to eat bad tasting food to eat clean. These cinnamon rolls look, taste, smell, and make you feel amazing! I don't know why anybody would feel like they need processed sugars and other processed food in their lives when they can eat something this delicious and nourish their body with proper nutrients at the same time! These rolls are made with organic, whole wheat flour, and they're about 98% sugar free, and 100% refined-sugar free! The only refined sugar in these babies is a little bit of raw honey in the dough, and then the filling and frosting is sweetened with Lakanto sweetener which is not processed in your body the same way sugar is. Lakanto is an amazing sweetener that is made with Monk fruit which is a super food and filled with nutrients! You can purchase Lakanto here and you can also find it on Amazon! The BEST Healthy Cinnamon Rolls!
Ingredients:
Dough: 1 cup warm coconut milk (110° F) 2 eggs 1/3 cup butter (melted) 4 1/2 cups organic whole wheat bread flour 1 tsp. salt 1/4 cup raw honey 2 1/2 tsp. yeast (do not use instant yeast! Instant yeast is highly processed) Filling: 1/2 cup golden Lakanto sweetener 2 1/2 Tbs. ground cinnamon 1/3 cup butter (melted) Frosting: 1 (8 oz.) package organic cream cheese 1/4 cup butter (softened) 1/2 cup powdered Lakanto sweetener 2 tsp. vanilla extract 1 pinch of salt Directions:
*These rolls stay super fresh for about five days if you store them in the fridge! Then when you're ready to eat them you can either warm them in your warming drawer on high for 10 mins. Or you can preheat your oven to 350°, turn it off once it's fully preheated, and place your rolls inside for about 10 mins. Then when you take them out it will be like having a freshly baked cinnamon roll! *Use organic ingredients when feasible.
 I'm seriously CRAVING citrus fruit lately! Lemons, limes, grapefruit, oranges, you name it... I crave it. I'm not totally sure why, but I do know that citrus kills cancer cells in your body and is a great source for vitamin C! So... these lemon bars are organic, refined sugar-free, and they pretty much melt in your mouth! I once had someone tell me that they are like ambrosia for your tongue! So they must be good right?! These bars are also super versatile so if you want to convert them to gluten-free or dairy-free it's super easy! I'll show you how in the recipe below! Lemon Cream Bars!
Ingredients:
Crust: 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour 1/4 cup powdered Lakanto sweetener 1/2 tsp. real salt 2 tsp. lemon zest 3/4 cup cold butter, cut into pieces Filling: 4 eggs 1 cup raw honey 1/4 cup classic Lakanto sweetener 1 tsp. baking powder 1/3 cup lemon juice (about 2 large lemons worth) 1 heaping Tbs. lemon zest Topping: 1 8 oz package of cream cheese 1/4 cup powdered Lakanto sweetener 1 Tbs. maple syrup 2 tsp. vanilla extract extra lemon zest to sprinkle on top Directions:
*Use organic ingredients when feasible. *Store bars in fridge. **What to make these bars gluten-free? Easy! Simply replace the pastry flour in the crust for almond flour. **What to make these bars dairy-free? Also super easy! Just replace the cream cheese with a couple cans of coconut cream!
 Okay, I know that it's still January and not quite Valentines season yet, BUT.... I LOVE Valentines day, and I needed something to cheer me up through these gray January days. So... Claire's Kisses were born!! These are a little different than my other chocolate recipes in that they are made with organic cacao wafers, and cacao is a super food that boosts mood, energy, and immune function! It's a common myth that eating healthy means that you don't eat anything that tastes good, and I'm here to say that you DO NOT have to deprive yourself just because you choose to eat and live a healthful life! Confession.... I used to be OBSESSED with Hershey's chocolate kisses! I was that girl in high school that always had a bag of them in my locker, and I probably consumed a handful a day. I wouldn't recommend that for anyone whether you have a chronic illness or not! So... I'm SUPER EXCITED about these because they're organic, refined sugar-free, and full of nutrients that your body will love! Stay tuned for different flavored chocolate recipes all through the month of February because this is for sure my new favorite recipe!! Also, thanks to A Bite of Healthy for helping me out with this recipe! My sister is the creator of this food blog, and she is a food GENIUS! So go check out her blog here. Claire's Chocolate Kisses!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup cacao wafers 4 1/2 Tbs. maple syrup 2 tsp. vanilla extract 3 Tbs. coconut butter 1 tsp. coconut oil Directions:

I would HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you to make your own coconut butter! It's a super simple process and it makes enough coconut butter to fill a small jar!
All you have to do is take two cups of shredded coconut and blend it in a small blender on high until coconut reaches a creamy texture! Store it in the fridge when you're done and enjoy it in lots of your healthy recipes! 
 I've always found it quite the struggle to keep sweet breads and cake moist when you're cooking refined sugar-free.

 I have always wanted to try making a smoothie bowl, and I finally got the chance! I was looking for a really simple smoothie bowl recipe, and I realized that there isn't much to choose from when it comes to simple smoothies, so I created one myself and here it is! This is a raspberry banana smoothie, and you can basically top it with whatever you'd like! I also used whey powder in the smoothie which is known for detoxing heavy metals out of the gut! Detox and deliciousness! Yay! I topped these with fresh banana, chia-seeds, shredded coconut, and granola. All the ingredients in this recipe are organic and refined-sugar free!! (Keep in mind that this recipe serves three people. So three small bowls worth!) Raspberry Banana Smoothie Bowl!
