These green monster blender muffins are a sneaky snack 🙂 They taste just as indulgent as a typical banana muffin, but it’s like drinking a veggie smoothie (in muffin format)!!! Filled with fibre, omega 3’s and antioxidants, these tasty muffins are perfect to have on hand. Here’s what you need:

Best Fall Salad

November 6, 2020 By Crystal

This is going to sound like a super cliche dietitian comment, but there is just something about the combination of roasted SQUASH & KALE that I adore. As its’ name suggests, this particular squash is very delicate, sweet and tender.  Enter the unique and fabulous DELICATA SQUASH!!! Sadly it doesn’t stick around for too long…

Walnut Mushroom Veggie Burgers
