AIP Sweet Potato Pudding Bowl

AIP Sweet Potato Pudding: A Perfect Grain-Free Breakfast

January 29, 2022 No Comments

Sweet Potato Pudding is like a dessert that you can eat any time of day. If I could, I would eat my Aunt KK’s Sweet Potato Pie at every meal; but this is a healthy alternative that almost hits the mark. If you’ve never had KK’s pie, you’ll think this is amazing. I actually need to give recipe credit to Dr. Mitchell Rasmussen, DC. He started making this pudding as a easy filling snack that is high in nutrients, high in healthy fats, and lasts a few days. It’s really perfect for that- make a batch, split it up into glass jars, and enjoy over several days. You can mix it up with toppings. That’s the real magic. Plus, it’s delicious warm as a grain-free porridge (AIP friendly) stand-in -or- chilled as a sweet potato pudding bowl. Try it out and let me know your favorite style. Related: AIP-Lemon Coconut Balls If you’re looking for an effortless, blend-and-serve type of recipe- here it is. Sweet Potato Pudding comes together quickly: with super-clean ingredients that keep you feeling your best.  This is my simple, go-to base ingredient list: -One large sweet potato – Baked (do it quick in an AirFryer or Instant Pot) –Coconut Milk, canned -Maple Syrup, or Liquid Stevia (optional) -Sprinkle of Sea Salt (Maldon is the beeest!) When it comes to toppings, let your imagination run! You could do seeds, nuts, coconut flakes, nut-free granola, cacao nibs, nut or seed butters, or even fresh fruit. If you prefer it on the savory side, leave out the sweetener and add chili flakes! My go-to combo is chia seeds and coconut flakes. Mix it up day-to-day to keep your leftovers from feeling boring. Make an Easy, Quick Breakfast or Snack with Sweet Potato Pudding! If you want to make it a balanced breakfast, add a scoop of protein. Then you’ll have a complete trifecta of macronutrients including slow-digesting carbohydrates, healthy fats, and bioavailable protein. Learn how to choose a protein powder here. My favorite coconut milk is by Thrive Market. I love the simplicity of their ingredients (no fillers, preservatives, or gums). And it’s cheaper. I always stock up in my Thrive Market boxes!

AIP Lemon Coconut Balls: Snacking on a Restricted Diet

July 10, 2021 1 Comment

Lemon Coconut Balls are the AIP-approved snack you’ve been looking for. Not to mention keto-friendly and loaded with healthy fat and protein. It’s summertime and my fridge is filled with all things bright and citrusy. I like having quick snacks that I can grab when I’m living an active life: out hiking, biking, paddle boarding, and exploring. Instead of reaching for a packaged snack, I take time to prep some clean-ingredient treats that I can store in the freezer. These AIP lemon coconut balls are just that! The best part? They are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free, seed-free, and hater-free. Unless you don’t like coconut. I like this recipe because it fits within the restriction of the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP Diet). It can be tough to find bars and snacks that are nut-free! My AIP lemon coconut balls come together with the help of melt-in-your-mouth coconut manna. If you don’t know what coconut manna is yet, it is to coconut what peanut butter is to peanuts. A concentrated spread made ONLY with coconut. Delicious, clean, and filled with medium-chain fatty acids!

Try these mid-morning or mid-afternoon for a boost to get you through the day. There’s room for substitutions here, but this is my go-to ingredient list: -Unsweetened Shredded Coconut -Coconut Butter -Grass-Fed Collagen Peptides -Lemon Juice -Lemon Zest -Maple Syrup -Vanilla Extract -Sea salt Liven things up with these bright, citrusy AIP Lemon Coconut Power Balls! My coconut obsession is Nutiva Coconut Manna. I always order mine through Thrive Market! I order my ingredients from Thrive Market. I find shelf-stable products at cheaper than grocery stores.
