    FODMAP Friendly Creamy Oats

    Today’s recipe is for my go-to bowl of FODMAP Friendly Creamy Oats. The original jungle oats work perfectly in this recipe, however, if you are celiac please use gluten-free oats instead.

    Milk Tart Chia Pudding

    Healthier Strawberry Pops Cereal

    Have you ever wanted to make your own Healthier Strawberry Pops Cereal? Today I show you how to make Gluten-Free Strawberry Pops, using puffed rice, acai powder, strawberry essence and a little bit of sweetness.  When my siblings and I were little, we would very rarely be allowed to eat sugary cereals. I even remember feeling guilty at nursery school because my teacher allowed me to make a Fruit Loop necklace and gasp – EAT IT TOO! When we were given sugary cereals like Strawberry Pops, Cocoa Pops and Fruit Loops, my parents would buy those small little boxes for us to ensure we didn’t overindulge. My sister and I…
