My absolute top picks?
Copycat Little Bites Muffins – made gluten free and free from refined sugars and questionable preservatives. My kids LOVE these!
My daughters favorite satiating snack are these Cake Batter Cookie Dough Balls – they’re protein rich, have healthy fats, and keep her full and energized.
If the kids are starting fall sports at this time too, try my easy Homemade Gatorade! No need for sugary and dye filled drinks when you can easily make them even better at home.
