Hi Readers! Today I’m share a list I’ve compiled of my favorite products geared towards those who share my desire to give myself and my family the healthiest environment possible, from the foods we eat to the products we use in our home and, of course, on our bodies.
When it comes to storing, transporting and serving food to little ones, it’s surely a process of trial and error. We’re all looking to find products we trust that are also the most utilitarian and earth-friendly, and it can cost a lot of money to find what works best for you. Of course, avoiding BPAs and phthalates in our plastics is a priority, but I am sure you will agree that identifying the products your kids can easily use and embrace is crucial as well.
With this in mind, I recommend all the below products (for toddlers, kids and adults) which are absolute mainstays in home. I mention them so often to friends and family that I just had to compile them for you. Please note that I have absolutely no affiliation with any of the companies/brands represented below; I simply hope that some of these will make a difference in your lives as they have for us! Enjoy.

This fall at our house, Pumpkin is in and carbs are out. For a variety of reasons we’re making more of an effort to push ourselves to cut even more sugary, starchy foods from our diets, toddler (or as I call him, carb-fiend), included. For two straight years, I was fiercely committed to attempting to keep my son from sugary snacks and desserts (even the healthier ones), with a mind towards delaying the inevitable addiction to sweeter tastes. From age 2 to 3, it all fell apart. The more conscious he became, the harder it was to avoid succumbing to all the birthday cakes, cupcakes and celebratory foods that creep into our social calendar at holidays. This is to say nothing of those now more perilous grocery shopping trips with the interminable barrage of “mommy can I haves?”
With our goal of cutting carbs and sugar in mind, I set out to use the flavors of the season to create a tempting dessert that was a bit more virtuous, for use during those times when avoiding sweets proves difficult. In fact, these chocolatey, fluffy pumpkin muffins are almost light enough to eat for breakfast, though you’d want to pair them with a protein source (like a good old hard boiled egg) to fill you up – they have a delightful mousse-like consistency are light as air! An optional addition of just a small chunk of Dark Chocolate Sea Salt in the middle makes them perfectly decadent yet still guilt free. And, you guessed it, they are most definitely toddler (and mom and dad) approved.
Further these are #glutenfree optionally #sugarfree #dairyfree and #lowcarb too.
Low Carb Chocolate Pumpkin Blender Muffins with Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Middle

Makes 12 Muffins
Dry Ingredients:
2 Cups Organic Almond Flour, fine ground (we used Bob’s Red Mill) – (sub gluten free Oat Flour for nut free per the original recipe)
1/3 Cup Cocoa Powder (Hershey’s works just fine)
1/4 Cup Monk Fruit Sugar (or other equivalent alternative sweetener – keeping in mind changes in proportion – Tip – if you choose to use a different sweetener you can mix all ingredients except the eggs and then add your alternate sugar source slowly, tasting for the right sweetness )
2.5 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
Wet Ingredients:
3/4 Cup Organic Canned
Pumpkin Puree
3 Eggs
2 Tablespoons Coconut Butter at room temperature
