Do black beans make a good gluten-free cake?
I’m testing out a 1/4 batch of Pancake Princess’ famous “Flourless Black Bean Chocolate Cake (gluten-free!)” for my birthday in a few weeks. I’m looking for something on the healthier side, but also easy to make - no special equipment since we’ll be celebrating with a friend of mine, that doesn’t have a ton of baking stuff. So this recipe could be perfect!! You can swap the granulated sugar for your sweetener/sugar-free-sub of choice (I’m using monk-allulose for my test batch

Crispy, crunchy, roasted lentils 😍🥗 #Saladtopper #glutenfreecroutons
I’m sure you’ve seen crunchy, roasted chickpeas before. But this is a fun twist. Plus, they’re extra crunchy and give you more protein & less carbs (net and total), and more fiber per serving than chickpeas (or croutons!) And bonus: they’re also faster to cook from scratch; giving you a healthy, gluten-free alternative to a crouton on your salads this summer (or frankly to any dish you’d like to add some texture, crunch and/or extra protein too) INGREDIENTS: ► 3/4-1 cup dried

Another fun summer-must-try! If you haven’t tried making the viral chocolate dipped blueberries from TikTok yet, you should.

I dipped them and p

After adding your lime juice, instead of sugar or Jello mix, we sprinkled our green grapes with lemonade electrolyte powder, then freeze & enjoy!! Super refreshing & perfect for replacing electrolytes on hot summer days.

Day 7 of Healthy Summer Treats: 🍋🍨 3-Ingredient Lemon Ice Cream #summeronshorts
INGREDIENTS: - Zest & juice of 2 lemons* - 1 can full fat coconut cream - 1/2 cup sweetener of choice (I used organic honey) NOTES: *I did try the “whole lemon” way first, but I found it too bitter and did not enjoy it.

You can swap the sweetener or adjust it lower too if you want it

Day 3 of Healthy Summer Treats: 🍉Watermelon Shaved Ice #SummerOnShorts
This one ingredient shave ice hack seemed so simple I almost didn’t want to include it in our healthy summer treat series BUT our watermelon’s texture was sub-par (and a bit mealy), so my kids did NOT want to eat it. And freezing it, and shaving it with a microplane, totally transformed and saved this melon. Don’t have a microplane? Or even if you do… I also tested this with my grater setting in our food processor and it worked like a charm, and was definitely a time saver to

Crispy Cauliflower Bites
I was cravings cauliflower bites after trying a box of store bought ones recently, and really, they aren’t that hard to make at home - pretty fun actually. Plus, for the same cost, you end up with SOOO MANY more. Here’s what you need: -1 head cauliflower, cut into bite sized pieces (I used half a bag of cauliflower florets from Costco and cut the really big florets into smaller bite-sized pieces) BATTER -1 cup gluten-free flour (I used 1/3c millet, 1/3c sorghum, and 1/3c cass
