Mayan Chocolate Chia Pudding
Anyone remember my Mayan Chocolate Ice Cream? I sure do. It was incredible. So I figured the same yum-factor would apply to chia pudding. SPOILER ALERT: I was right. Mix this up any ol’ day for a quick snack or breakfast item. Serve with fruit or your favorite parfait toppers like shredded coconut, hemp seeds, cacao…
Date-Sweetened Macaroons
As far as I can tell, most macaroon recipes call for honey as the sweetener. Confession time: Sometimes I just don’t like honey. It has a very distinct flavor which is great is some things, but in others the flavor takes over. In an attempt to quell my macaroon craving and also avoid the honey…

Still leggings though, always leggings. #teamspandex It’s actually pretty comical to plop me down in the middle of cold weather….
Beet and Butternut Quinoa Salad
I find myself less and less preaching a paleo-ONLY gospel these days. Truth is, there are a lot of healthy people* operating well on vegan, vegetarian, paleo, dairy-free, pegan, AIP, and Mediterranean diets. This is why I ended up calling this blog, and my business, The Clean Plate. There are many roads to health, and they…
Chocolate Chia Pudding
Sometimes I get requests for recipes that I wouldn’t typically make for myself. Chia pudding is one of those things. I realize that chia is widely considered a “superfood” and hailed as an excellent source of healthy fats and energy. BUT… If you know anything about my nutritional journey, you know that I have some digestive issues….
