Baked Oatmeal Cups with Bananas & Berries

Tuesday, June 9, 2015

Quick and easy healthy snack. Fix approved and gluten free

Busy mornings? Then you’ll love these baked oatmeal cups. Why oatmeal? It’s high in soluble fiber which helps with digestion and metabolizing carbs, it can help lower LDL cholesterol and, in turn, improve heart health and regular blood sugar, and it’s high in magnesium which helps your body process calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K. Add in some bananas for potassium and berries for phytonutrients (and more), and you’ve got one awesome breakfast to help you power through the day.

But, what kind of oats should you eat? Rolled? Instant? Steel-Cut? I prefer steel-cut as they’re the least processed, but they also take the longest to cook. Rolled oats are what we’re most used to. They take about 10 minutes to cook and your body digests them a little faster than steel-cut oats. Instant oats are the most processed and have the highest glycemic index ranking of the three types.

Shhhh! We're breaking the rules with this dessert!

Tuesday, June 2, 2015

Okay, so this might break a few rules of clean eating...

Want to be a hit at the next picnic without knocking yourself out in the kitchen? Here's your secret weapon! This is a dessert everyone will love. This is my go-to signature dessert to take to summer parties -  and even the healthiest of health nuts can't keep from dipping into it.  This is one of the easiest recipes you could ever find.  15 minutes, no cooking - no fuss - no muss - just an indulging dessert that tastes as good as it looks. It's NOT gluten free, paleo OR 21 Day Fix approved, but it's definitely something to look forward to on your cheat day.


No Gluten, No Problem!

To make this gluten free just substitute a GF angel food cake. Betty Crocker makes a tasty gluten free angel food cake mix that tastes as good as the wheat version, you'll just have to add a little time to the preparation.

Just want to lighten things up a bit?

You can easily lighten this up by using lite cream cheese and Cool Whip, or even Greek yogurt or ricotta in place of the cream cheese.

1    RED Container Ricotta

2    tsp honey

1/2 PURPLE Container Berries
