Trail mixes make for a great snack when you’re on the go. They’re easy to carry around in a zip-lock bag or small container and the right mix will do a solid job of satisfying a hungry belly in-between meals.
BUT beware … many trail mixes on the grocery store shelves contain nuts that have been roasted at high temperatures, low-quality oils, excess salt, and/or high amounts of sugar from dried fruit.
Since it’s not easy to find a squeaky clean trail mix, I like to make my own. They’re real easy to put together and you have full control over what goes in them. You can get super creative or keep it simple – you’re the boss of your trail mix!

These no-bake Creamy Matcha Bars are delicious and so easy to make with only 5 ingredients needed! They are perfect for a mid-day snack or end of a meal treat. Best part is, you can feel good about enjoying these creamy matcha bars since they’re naturally sweetened with honey.
Honey (and maple syrup) is a great alternative to refined sugar and artificial sweeteners when you’re looking to create healthy desserts, treats or snacks.
Did you know consuming high amounts of refined sugar and artificial sweeteners can contribute to IBS and other digestive system disorders.
Most artificial sweeteners cause symptoms of indigestion, including gas, bloating, cramping and constipation.
A big step you can take towards creating a healthier gut and supporting digestion is to remove refined sugar and artificial sweeteners from your diet and use small amounts of unrefined natural sweeteners like honey and maple syrup instead – if needed.
Now it’s time to give these creamy and super satisfying bars a try!

Goat Cheese Stuffed Dates Wrapped in Bacon are the perfect healthy appetizer! This sweet, savory & creamy combination will tickle your taste buds and leave you craving more. Only 3 ingredients needed for this delectable appetizer!
There’s no question that dairy doesn’t work for everyone. Some people are allergic to or intolerant of the proteins in dairy, while others are highly sensitive to lactose, the sugar in dairy.
That said, goat’s milk has less lactose than cow’s milk which may make goat’s milk easier to digest for people with lactose intolerance.
In addition, goat’s milk is naturally homogenized, meaning the fat globules are small and remain suspended in the milk rather than separating out. This makes the milk easier for humans to digest.
So, if you tolerate goat dairy well and are looking for a crowd pleasing healthy appetizer to serve at your next dinner party, you’ve got to make these! The combination of sweet, savory and creamy makes this a food experience you’ll want to recreate again and again.
These stuffed dates also taste great reheated, so you can store leftovers in the fridge and reheat for later.

Goat Cheese Stuffed Dates Wrapped in Bacon are the perfect healthy appetizer! This sweet, savory & creamy combination will tickle your taste buds and leave you craving more. Only 3 ingredients needed for this delectable appetizer!
Preheat oven to 350F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice bacon strips lengthwise then slice them in half. You’ll end up with a total of 32 smaller strips.
Using a small spoon (espresso size), stuff goat cheese into dates.
Wrap each date with a bacon strip and place on baking sheet. If bacon strips are thin enough the wrap should hold when placed on the baking sheet. If not, insert a toothpick to hold the bacon in place.
Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool before popping these babies!
Flourless Pumpkin Spice Cookies are soft, chewy and full of fall flavour! These gluten and grain free cookies are naturally sweetened with maple syrup making them the perfect healthy treat for Thanksgiving and all fall long.
DID YOU KNOW? Artificial sweeteners may be holding you back from losing excess weight – and could be causing you to gain weight!
Artificial sweeteners affect your food cravings and your ability to manage your body’s signals for hunger and fullness. These sweeteners are very addictive unlike natural sweeteners that leave you feeling more satisfied.
So, if you tend to use artificial sweeteners or refined sugar products like Splenda, agave, aspartame or sugar, I highly recommend replacing these with unrefined natural sweeteners like maple syrup and raw honey.
Unrefined natural sweeteners contain higher levels of beneficial nutrients, antioxidants and enzymes.
Try my chewy Flourless Pumpkin Spice Cookies with maple syrup. When used in moderation, maple syrup can help to better manage blood sugar, all while creating great tasting recipes.

Preheat oven to 350F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until a thick batter is formed. If adding in chocolate chips, do so after mixing other ingredients.
Give the batter a taste-test and adjust the flavours to your preference (optional).
Scoop batter with a tablespoon and place on baking sheet. Press down the mound with a wet fork to flatten and place one pecan on top.
Bake at 350F for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are golden.
Allow to cool completely on tray before using a spatula to remove. If you move the cookies too soon them may fall apart (I know this from personal experience).
Serve immediately or store in fridge or freezer for a firmer cookie.
You can now enjoy the taste of delicious pumpkin pie without all the work. It takes less than five minutes to prepare this plant-based & paleo Pumpkin Pie Chia Pudding! It makes for a great breakfast, snack or dessert during the autumn.
DID YOU KNOW? Chia seeds are high in several nutrients that are important for bone health, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and protein.
One ounce (28 grams) of chia seeds contains 18% of the RDI for calcium. Gram for gram, this is higher than most dairy products, making chia seeds a good source of calcium for people who don’t eat dairy.
However, it’s important to know that chia seeds also contain phytic acid, which reduces calcium absorption to some extent.
“What is phytic acid?” – you might be wondering. According to Stephan Guyenet:
“Phytic acid is a small molecule found in seeds like grains, beans, and nuts that binds (chelates) certain essential minerals—particularly calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc—and reduces their absorption from food. What this means is that the nutritional value of these foods isn’t as high as you might expect if you looked them up in a nutritional database. Many traditionally-living cultures with grain-heavy diets used techniques such as soaking, grinding, and fermentation that reduce phytic acid levels and increase mineral availability.” (Learn more about phytic acid here).
Now get those chia seeds soaking so you can try this delicious autumn-inspired chia seed pudding.Â
