Bubble Tea (Boba)

June 5, 2012 by Melissa

I can honestly say that I had never had Bubble Tea (traditionally known as Boba) before. I had seen signs with pictures of it on tea-houses before, but I had no idea how I’d feel about it, so I never ordered it. Recently, though, it became a fixation in my mind and I knew I just had to try it! But, I wanted to make it on my own terms and make it as low calorie as possible.And…I love it! I love the … [Read more...]

Peanut Butter Chia Cookies (PB2)

June 4, 2012 by Melissa

I was so excited to make a healthy peanut butter cookie, especially after I received a supply of PB2 powder in the mail! If you haven't used PB2, you should definitely try it (you can order it online or find it in some health and fitness shops). It's dehydrated peanuts in powdered form, which means they have extracted the unhealthy fat and oil while keeping the protein integrity of the peanuts … [Read more...]

Gluten-Free Cupcakes and Foodie Pen Pals

May 31, 2012 by Melissa

I am so excited to tell you about this program I have become a part of. It’s pen pals for the foodies and food bloggers! Yup, just like when you were in the third grade, but this one is actually fun (maybe yours was fun then, but mine was lame). Hosted by The Lean Green Bean, it’s really fun because you get paired with someone who sends you something, and someone different to send things to. You … [Read more...]

Healthy Blueberry Toasted Oat Pancake

May 30, 2012 by Melissa

This is probably this most simple pancake either. It's not your typical pancake either. It is gluten-free, and made of just a few simple, nutritious ingredients. I broke down the recipe per-pancake, so it's easier to calculate the calories and so you can choose just how many you want to make! Plus, because you make them one-at-a-time in a small skillet, the recipe can be prepped multiple times … [Read more...]

What surprised me was that they have started baking gluten-free cookies! Artopolis: After a big Greek dinner downtown, we headed over to Artopolis to pick out some Greek desserts (and so my … [Read more...]

Almond Butter Pretzel Bites (Gluten-Free)

May 25, 2012 by Melissa

I’ve always loved those peanut butter filled pretzel bites and I have been known to cram down some chocolate-dipped pretzels when they’re available, so I knew I had to combine the best of both worlds. These would be adorable party treats and they’re super simple to make, but making a small batch for yourself wouldn’t be so bad either. I used my favorite gluten-free pretzels for these, but you can … [Read more...]
