Strawberry Kiwi Muffins (Gluten Free)

April 16, 2018

Strawberries and kiwis are my two favorite fruits and they’re a common flavor combination. I thought it might be interesting to try them together in muffins – blended into the batter. To be honest, the strawberry kiwi flavor is just slightly in the background of these muffins, although I definitely enjoyed them. These muffins are pretty dense and filling made with almond flour, cashew butter, and coconut oil. Try them for a gluten free breakfast on the go or as…

Hormones got you feeling out of sorts? This smoothie contains hemp seeds and maca to balance hormones. Hemp seeds are a great source of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, which are anti-inflammatory and promote hormone health. Maca is used for boosting libido, energy, and hormone balance. Together with coconut milk/cacao butter (healthy fat), grass fed whey (healthy protein) and banana (healthy carbohydrate), this blend makes the perfect treat for anyone seeking to balance hormones.

I’ve been eating a lot of collagen lately. I mix it in my protein shakes, put it in my coffee, eat Bulletproof collagen protein bars, & now I’m making protein muffins with it! It definitely does have anti-aging benefits – my acne scars have been clearing up and I have younger looking skin. Collagen is also great for your joints & digestive system. It also helps your hair grow and your nails stronger. The brand I use is Vital Proteins.…

So, I’ve been wanting to experiment with fermented foods for a long time. I eat fermented foods. I’ve just never made my own, until now. I bought a book on fermenting foods about two years ago and have been so distracted, so I never tried. Someone I know had more kefir grains than he was able to keep up with and offered some to me. I took that as a sign it was time to finally try fermenting foods.…

Everyone deserves a muffin once in a while, and if it’s a chocolate chip muffin that’s even better! You only live once, so you might as well enjoy it. These chocolate chip muffins are gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, corn-free, and soy-free, so you don’t have to sacrifice your health while enjoying the occasional muffin. I use Enjoy Life chocolate chips and Sunbutter. I’ve always been a believer in “paleo treats” and recreations of comfort foods. There’s no reason you should…

Blueberry muffins are pretty popular, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never actually seen a strawberry muffin before. I have always preferred strawberries to blueberries, so I thought why not make strawberry muffins instead of the traditional blueberry muffins? I love to have muffins for breakfast because they’re grab and go. The thought of having to cook breakfast in the morning is just daunting to me. I really don’t like to do anything until after I’ve had my coffee, and that…
