better body food recipes

If you watch what I eat on instagram stories, you know that it’s mostly bowls/salads. I love tossing everything in a bowl and throwing a yummy dressing on top. The place I go to get all of my cooking and baking essentials is Better Body Foods. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I’m always talking about them. But you need to get on board and try them yourself if you haven’t already. No hidden ingredients, nothing artificial, you can actually read the real food on the ingredients section on the labels.

They just came out with a new line called Plant Junkie dressings and they didn’t disappoint of course! As you know, I eliminated dairy from my diet, besides the feta cheese and kerry gold grass fed butter, (truly can’t live without those) but I everything else I eliminated and thats including dressings with dairy products! So I’m in love that they came out with a dressing line for vegans, or just anyone who loves it! They’re…

1/2 CUP BETTER BODY FOODS QUINOA
1/4 CUP FETA CHEESE
2 TBSP CHIA RANCH OR TUMERIC & PEPPER RANCH

DIRECTIONS: Cook quinoa according to package. I like to make a huge batch for the whole week. I make 1 cup which will make 2 cups cooked quinoa for the whole week.

SPICY CHILI POMEGRANETTE SALAD

1 CUP SPRING SALAD MIX
1/2 CUP COOKED WHITE SWEET POTATO OR 4 SMALL RED POTATOES CUT IN 1/2

3. TAI PEANUT SALAD

1/2 CUP COOKED QUINOA BBF
1/2 CUP SLICED CARROTS
1/2 CUP SLICED RED CABBAGE
1/4 CUP CHOPPED UP CILANTRO
1/2 CUP SLICED RED PEPPER

DIRECTIONS: Cook the quinoa according to package. Slice up everything and toss in a bowl! Its also yummy to add peanuts and chicken to this one!

I love bowls. They’re my saviors! So easy and so healthy to get all your veggies in, but you MUST have a good dressing. SO these help out a ton. If you want to get really serious on saving you some time, then meal prep this all on Sunday every week. Wash and cut all the veggies and cook your choice of carbs, you can add white rice, brown rice, potato or quinoa in all of these. Also you can add ground turkey, or chicken to any of them too. But my big thing is prepping all of these ahead of time to just toss in a bowl and have this yummy dressing to make it 10x better.

Go to Better Body Foods and check them out! I use their Oat Milk EVERY SINGLE DAY! They’re carried in most stores and amazon!

As you guys know, or if you don’t, every time I eat processed sugar I get super sick! So I’m trying everything I can to get in something sweet with all the right ingredients. All thanks to my BBF foods in my pantry! (Better Body Foods) I’ve made a million recipes with their ingredients. This is where I go to get all my protein, organic foods like avocado oil, coconut oil, cacao powder, maca powder, chia seed, super seed etc. They have the best choices and its all natural and pure. Nothing artificial added to their products which is what I always look for when reading labels! So you can trust their products! I’ve shared them with you so much, but I don’t share anything that I don’t absolutely love and thats a tried and true product for me and my family. So onto these amazing cookies, which are super easy to make.

3/4 Cup Honey
1 Large Egg
1/4 Tsp Peppermint Extract
1-1/4 Cup Wheat Flour
1/3 Cup Cacao Powder
1/4 Tsp Pink Salt

Preheat Oven to 350
Add coconut oil to a bowl and warm up until less chunky. In a large bowl, add in Coconut oil, honey, egg and peppermint extract. Stir and mix up until its fluffy.
Add flour, salt, cacao powder, pink salt, baking powder, baking soda to the wet mix. Mix up until it becomes a dough.
Add chocolate chips and stir in, then chill in the freezer for 10 mins while the oven heats up.
Crush up the candy canes. I unwrap them and put them into a plastic sack to smash them up.
Form dough into small balls 1.5 inches apart (heaping 1 Tsbp) and place onto ungreased parchment paper lined baking sheet. Press the tops down a little and place on more chocolate chips.
Bake for 8-10 mins. The edges will be slightly dry and the tops will look soft. Let it sit on a cookie sheet for a few minutes, then sprinkle the candy canes on top of the cookies immediately.
Let cool before eating!
