1.1K views · 2.6K reactions | LISTEN UP ⬇️ ✨ But first save this post for your next sugar craving! It’s no secret that excess sugar consumption can cause weight gain, acne, and is linked to an increased risk of a variety of diseases. As I age, I’m becoming increasingly aware of the harm my sweet tooth may be having on my body. I’ve cut out sugar many times over the years and have felt SO good. I know my body feels best without sugar, but real life - it hasn’t been sustainable. ➡️ Not to mention it’s apparently an innate impulse in kids to ask for treats. 💫 What’s the solution? Healthier swaps. We want our kids to learn about nutrition and have a healthy relationship with food. SO rather than eliminating dessert in our home, we’re making treats with better ingredients 🥳 These peanut butter cups are filling, more satisfying, and less addictive than store-bought alternatives IMO. Healthy eating doesn’t have to be all or nothing - every healthier swap is a win and seemingly small choices form healthier habits. ✨ Follow along for more healthy swaps, easy recipes, and encouragement on your journey 🫶🏻 INGREDIENTS 3/4 cup natural peanut butter 1/3 cup pure maple syrup 1/2-3/4 cup blended oats TOPPING 1 cup chocolate chips 1/2 tbsp coconut oil - to prevent cracking coarse sea salt DIRECTIONS 1. Mix peanut butter, syrup, and blended oats until smooth. 2. Scoop into silicone mini muffin mold. 3. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in microwave - stir after 1 minute and then melt in 30 second intervals if needed. 4. Pour chocolate over peanut butter mixture in each muffin mold. 5. Sprinkle sea salt and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. 6. Store in refrigerator and enjoy! | bret + court | easy recipes for families | Facebook

63K views · 9.6K reactions | CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN BITES // I (@nourishedbynutrition) make these weekly (sometimes twice a week!!) because they’re the perfect sweet treat and mid-day pick-me-up that’s blood sugar and hormone friendly! These consistently score a 9-10 on my CGM meaning they don’t spike your blood sugar thanks to the combination of protein, fat, fiber and being very low sugar! Plus, the whole family loves them. 🍫Comment RECIPE and I’ll send you the recipe and discount codes to the products I use 🍫 1 cup peanut butter (thick texture, not drippy!) 3 tbsp chia seeds 3 tbsp hemp seeds (I use @beeyawellness seed cycling blend phase 1 — a mix of hemp, pumpkin and flax for more hormone support) 2 tbsp maple syrup 1/4 tsp salt 2 scoops (60 grams or 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp) @truvani vanilla protein powder 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips 1/2 tsp coconut oil Combine the peanut butter, chia seeds, hemp seeds, maple syrup, salt and protein powder in a bowl. The dough should feel like a firm play dough consistency (if not add 1 tbsp of coconut flour at a time until it is). Press the dough into a parchment paper lined loaf pan. Melt the chocolate and mix in the coconut oil. Pour into the pan and spread evenly. Place in the fridge to set for at least 15 minutes. Slices and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. **I’ve tested these with different peanut butter and protein powders. I recommend a thick natural peanut butter (not super dippy!!) Santa Cruz, Smucker’s organic or Whole Foods 365 brand. If you choose a different protein powder I recommend weighing out 60 grams (about 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon. If your dough isn’t a firm play dough consistency, add 1 tbsp of coconut flour at a time until it is. Adding more protein powder isn’t the best option for texture. #nourishedbynutrition #healthandwellness #lowsugar #bloodsugarbalance #bloodsugarcontrol #pcosdiet #pcosnutrition #healthydessertrecipes #hormonehealth #hormonebalance | Jess Bippen, MS, RD | Facebook

6.6K reactions · 15 shares | Puffed Quinoa Chocolate Cups 🍫 3 ingredients, dairy-free, gluten-free. Follow @nutriholist for more easy recipes ✨ Take your chocolate to the next level by mixing in your favorite nut/seed butter and puffed quinoa👌🏼 You'll get the most amazing creamy, chocolatey, and crunchy texture that's you'll be making on repeat! 👉🏼 Be sure to SAVE the recipe and SHARE it with a chocolate-loving friend 🍫 PUFFED QUINOA CHOCOLATE CUPS (yields 10) - 1 and 1/4 cups puffed quinoa (see notes 👇🏼) - 1/2 cup almond butter (or your preferred nut/seed butter) - 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks (use 100% or keto chocolate for sugar-free) - Optional: a pinch of flaky sea salt 1. Line a mini muffin tray with liners or use a mini muffin silicone mold (mine linked in story highlights "Shop My Reels" 👆🏼) and set aside. 2. Add dark chocolate chunks to a medium bowl and heat over a pot of boiling water or in the microwave in 30-second intervals until completely melted and smooth. 3. Mix in the almond butter and puffed quinoa and stir until the quinoa is evenly coated with the chocolate almond butter mixture. 4. Spoon the mixture into the prepared mini muffin molds, filling each one to the top. Press down lightly to compact the mixture and top with a pinch of flaky sea salt, if desired. 5. Place the muffin tray in the freezer for 30 minutes or in the fridge for 1 hour, until the chocolate has set. 6. Remove the quinoa chocolate bites from the molds. They can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Notes: • To make your own puffed quinoa, add 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa to a dry pan over medium-high heat in a single layer. Stir or shake the pan continuously for 10–15 seconds until the quinoa pops like tiny popcorn, then quickly remove it to prevent burning. • If using store-bought quinoa that's on the softer side, toasting them in a dry pan as explained above would make them crunchy. #puffedquinoa #easytreats #healthytreats #healthydessert #easydessert #viralrecipes #easyrecipes #dairyfreerecipes #darkchocolate | Nutriholist | Facebook
