{Paleo & Vegan} Healthy Cadbury Eggs

Posted by on Apr 18, 2014 in Desserts, Holiday, Holiday, Recipes, Toddler/Child | Comments Off on {Paleo & Vegan} Healthy Cadbury Eggs

Cadbury Eggs were an Easter tradition growing up as a kid, and I  absolutely loved them. We usually only got one or two Cadbury Eggs in our Easter basket, so we preserved them and saved them until we were ready to devour them! Fast forward to now, and I honestly can’t remember the last time I had a Cadbury Egg. Yes, they were a fun tradition growing up, but as I have become more health conscious, I’ve decided to ditch the Cadbury Eggs and choose healthier options instead. I am so happy to say that I have found a homemade – Paleo and Vegan – version of Cadbury Eggs! It’s still candy, but a much healthier option than what Cadbury has to offer. This is something I wouldn’t mind eating or allowing my kids to eat every year for...

Posted by on Mar 14, 2014 in Beverages, Holiday, Recipes | Comments Off on {Paleo & Vegan} Shamrock Shake Recipe

Every St. Patrick’s Day, I see advertising for McDonald’s Shamrock Shake. Yes, it’s green…but it’s green from food dye rather than healthy green fruit or vegetables. It’s full of processed sugars, artificial flavorings and milk sourced from who knows where. The good news? There’s a much healthier – even Paleo & Vegan! – version of McDonald’s Shamrock Shake. Delicious doesn’t have to be guilty. Healthy Shamrock Shake Recipe Ingredients:  1 can coconut milk (you can also sub 1 ¾ cups of any other type of milk) 1 avocado, peeled and seed removed 2 1/2 – 3 tablespoons pure raw honey, (or other sweetener of choice) 1 cup of ice 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 1 teaspoon pure peppermint extract For full recipe instructions, please visit: primallyinspired.com Feel free to follow us, however you...

Eat Food That Loves You Back!

Posted by on Feb 14, 2014 in Holiday | Comments Off on Eat Food That Loves You Back!

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with health foods that love you back! Valentine’s Day Valentine’s Day shouldn’t be about chocolates and candies. It’s about showing your LOVE for someone, right? In my opinion. junk food just isn’t love. It destroys the immune system and wreaks havoc on your overall health. Again…not love. Years ago, I asked my husband to ditch the cheap chocolates for Valentine’s Day. Instead, my husband treats me with something else. Maybe a new dress or blouse. Perhaps new shoes! Maybe even a manicure and pedicure. Of course, if I am really lucky, I will just get a really sweet card from my husband.
