<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What you need to do:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To make coconut cream, you must refrigerate the coconut milk overnight, then scoop cream off the top when separated. (It's like a fun science experiment!)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 350 FF. Spray a muffin trays with nonstick cooking spray. You may use mini muffin trays, they look soooo cute!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Then combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside. (easy right?)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Take your beets and all wet ingredients in a food processor till it's smooth and pureed!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Combine wet and dry mixtures. Fold gently to combine. As much as possible do not over fold (or over mix) so it will come out fluffy and not so heavy.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Spoon batter into muffin cups (or mini muffin cups!) and bake up to 20 - 30 minutes or you can test it using a toothpick, prick it in the middle and if it comes out clean, it is good to go. If you are using those mini muffin cups then lessen the time to 15-20 minutes as they are smaller and bakes faster.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While cupcakes cool, combine frosting ingredients and spoon into a piping bag. Refrigerate until cupcakes are ready to frost.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once cool, frost cupcakes and serve the same day they are baked. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">That's it, so easy to make. You can give them on Valentine's day to your friends or loved ones! Also a great way to surprise them, delicious but very, very healthy! ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here's what you need:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What you need to do:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1. In a saucepan, bring the water to boil then add the tea bags cover and turn off the heat. Let it steep for 10 minutes then discard the tea bags.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2. Add in your oats, bananas and salt. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">4. On a separate pan over medium-high heat, add shredded coconuts and swirl it for a few seconds till it is golden brown then set it aside. Careful as it can burn that fast!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">5. Place the cooked oatmeal in a bowl then top with the remaining banana slices, berries and your toasted coconuts!</span><br />

Lemon Blueberry Oatmeal Recipe

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oatmeal in the morning doesn't grow old. There's something about holding that warm bowl of amazing, healthy goodness in your hands that can start the day a whole lot better (and of course coffee too!) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This clean eating recipe I am going to share with you today is a marriage of two wonderful ingredients added in the oatmeal that just fits right - lemon and blueberries. Can you smell it already?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This recipe got some egg whites added in it but don't you worry - that's an added feature that'll benefit you! It's an added protein plus you won't see it in the bowl if you mix it fast and you won't taste it either. You'll just fall in love with the lemons and blueberries! I swear!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What you need: </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4 cups water</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4 egg whites</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1 cup fresh blueberries</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What you need to do:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bring water to a boil using a medium-sized pot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once boiling, add the oats, lemon zest then cover. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When water is reduced, add in egg white - you need to beat or mix fast in this stage! Don't stop stirring until the egg whites are cooked. Indication is you will see the mixture turn white. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When oats are cooked, top with the fresh blueberries, agave or honey! Enjoy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; text-align: start;">1/4 cup white chocolate chips, melted</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What you should do:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; text-align: start;">In a medium saucepan, melt coconut oil and add peanut butter, agave nectar and vanilla. Take note to cook over low heat, continually whisking, till melted and smooth. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; text-align: start;">Remove from heat and stir in the rest of the ingredients except the white chocolate. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; text-align: start;">Using slightly wet hands (careful as it might be hot!) , shape cereal mixture into balls (about a 1/4 cup each) and place onto waxed paper. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; text-align: start;">You should get about 18 cookies. Allow balls to sit for about 15 to 20 minutes, until firm. Drizzle cookies with a little melted white chocolate and enjoy! </span></div>

Once all of the ingredients are well combined, add the honey. Start with 2-3 tablespoons, adding more if you prefer a sweeter taste. Pour mixture into an airtight container, and refrigerate overnight. The seeds will absorb the liquid, resulting in a pudding-like consistency.</span></span></div>

Add a little bit of vanilla extract instead. You can also use maple syrup instead of honey if you prefer. Feel free to experiment! Like many other chia recipes, this one is easy to customize. After letting the mixture sit in your fridge overnight, you can even try blending it in a blender or food processor for a smoother, more creamy consistency.</span></span></div>

Roll the mixture into bite-sized pieces. Since they don’t have to be baked, you can make them as small or large as you want. Smaller bites are a great option if you want to enjoy these as an on-the-go snack. Store your energy bites in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.</span></span></div>

Popsicle Recipes for Healthy Summer Snacking

<span style="font-size: 14.6666666666667px; line-height: 1.38; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Popsicle recipes that are healthy make it so easy to enjoy an indulgent summer treat. I love how quick it is to make a batch of healthy popsicles. Most of these popsicle recipes require nothing more than mixing and then freezing the ingredients. For perfect-looking popsicles, you can buy a popsicle mold. Otherwise, you can make your own molds by pouring your mixture into small cups and inserting popsicle sticks in them before freezing. </span></span><br />

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sometimes the best popsicle recipes are the simplest ones! By combining your favorite 100% fruit juice with some fresh fruit, you’ll have delicious and refreshing popsicles. You’ll want to stay away from fruit juices with lots of added sugar. If you have a juicer at home, you can make homemade juice so you’ll know exactly what ingredients are going into your popsicles. Fill your popsicle molds with some juice, and then drop in some diced fruits and freeze them until they are set. You can also try adding a little bit of veggie juice for some extra nutrients. Orange and carrot juice together are a tasty combination!</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Add some variety to your popsicle recipes by using coconut milk! Popsicle recipes that use coconut milk don’t seem to drip as much as popsicles with only fruit juice. When you’ve got little ones at home, that’s a definite plus! Less sticky messes! Simply use coconut milk instead of juice as a base and add your diced fruit as you normally would. You can also try mixing in some chia seeds for some super food nutrients. If you add chia, just make sure you give them 20-30 minutes to expand in the coconut milk before freezing.</span></span></div>

Less of a popsicle and more of a creamsicle. All you need to do is scoop some yogurt into your popsicle molds, and then add in chopped or diced fruit. You can also try blending the fruit and yogurt until everything is smooth.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

If you want to add a little extra sweetness, simply mix in a little bit of raw honey or Stevia. Once you find a few popsicle recipes you enjoy, it’s super easy to experiment with new flavors! By changing up the mix-ins that you add to your favorite popsicle base, the possibilities are endless. These recipes are so easy to make. The hardest part is waiting patiently for them to freeze so you can eat them!</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 4pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Healthy wraps are a great meal option for busy families, or anyone who is always on the go. They’re easy to make, convenient to eat, and simple to customize with your favorite ingredients, so they’re perfect for a quick lunch. Healthy wraps also make for a wonderful dinner when you don’t have the time to prepare more complicated dishes. The best part? You’ll have a filling and tasty meal without a sinkful of dishes to wash after you’re done eating! Want to enjoy some healthy wraps? Here are some ideas to get you started:</span></span></div>
<b id="docs-internal-guid-f04b193b-96aa-df4c-8013-7868bb4fecf5" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 4pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lunch: When it comes to lunch, you’ll probably want to fill your healthy wraps with ingredients that are satisfying without being too heavy. To make your wrap more filling, try spreading a thin layer of hummus on your tortilla before topping with the other ingredients. Be sure to pack your healthy wraps with plenty of fresh greens. From there, you can add a mixture of fresh veggies. You can also experiment by adding some fruit to your healthy wraps. Grapes, apples, and strawberries all make great additions, especially for wraps filled with chicken. Add some of your favorite protein (chicken, quinoa, beans, etc.) to make it even more nutritious.</span></span></div>
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 4pt; margin-top: 4pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dinner: If you want to try making healthy wraps for dinner, you can try using the lighter ideas for lunch wraps, or you can experiment by adding some ingredients that involve a little more prep time. Try making a burrito-inspired wrap by adding some brown rice, or get creative by adding ingredients such as grilled mushrooms, dried cranberries, or even some baked sweet potato. Avoid adding fatty spreads such as mayonnaise. Instead, opt for healthier (and more flavorful) alternatives such as salsa, mustard, or a light vinaigrette.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Healthy wraps are one of my favorite things to make because they make it easier to pack a lot of nutrition in one portable meal. They also give you a lot of freedom to be creative with what you put in your meal. With simple ingredients, you can create amazing flavor combinations that your whole family can enjoy. To make your healthy wraps even easier, try preparing fillings in advance and storing them in the refrigerator. A few minutes of prep work can make this quick meal even quicker! If you have some favorite quick healthy treats, I’d love to hear about them!

Munch on your tasty salad as the kids run around on the playground or enjoy it as part of a romantic dinner with your man on the patio. I love the way you can turn easy summer salads into your own creation by adding the ingredients you love and omitting the ones you don’t. Enjoy!</span></span>
