Baked Superfood Pears

 

These caramelized baked pears are absolutely DIVINE + one of my favorite wholesome treats to make during the holidays (the warm oven also helps keep Jack Frost at bay)!

Pears are full of fiber, which is essential for a healthy heart and lowers the risk of heart disease and stroke. The fruit also provide a boost of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as the powerful mineral potassium, which helps your muscles function and your heartbeat stay strong. 

Once I've cut my pears, I love spreading drizzling on our detoxifying + nourishing Green Bee Honey,and sprinkling on crushed walnuts + cinnamon! So YUMMY!

Gather This: 

  • 2 large, ripe pears
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons Green Bee Honey
  • 1/4 crushed walnuts

Do This: 

Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut the pears in half, scoop out the seeds with a measuring spoon or melon baller, and place onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon, top with walnuts, and drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of honey over each one.

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. If you feel the pears come out of the oven a little on the dry side, feel free to spray with coconut oil to add moisture and return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes. Remove, let cool, and ENJOY!

Fried PB, Banana & Honey Sandwich

Fried PB, Banana & Honey Sandwich

Step up your sandwich game with this delicious and satisfying fried peanut butter, banana and superfood honey sandwich! When we say “fried” we don’t mean a deep-fried sandwich. It’s lightly toasted in butter for a golden, crispy crust. 


We love drizzling on our supercharged raw honey due to its antibiotic properties, energy-lifting powers, and plant-based protein from brown rice. Berry Bee Honey includes pomegranate, acai, goji, and camu-camu (ALL organic!), which are incredibly high in antioxidants. 


A sandwich that’s golden crisp on the outside with warm melty pb on the inside and gooey bananas drizzled with honey is going to be a family favorite in your house. Perfect for kiddos!

Berry Bee Honey

Gather This:

1 banana

2 slices of bread

Sauté ½ of the banana in oil/butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon placed to the side then use the other half of the banana inside your sandwich. 

Fry up each side of the pb&j for a few minutes until it’s toasty and browned. ENJOY!

Superfood Green Honey Chia Seed Pudding

Green Dream Chia Seed Pudding

Chia seed pudding is the PERFECT nourishing and nutrient-dense breakfast or snack that you can prepare ahead of time for the week. It’s creamy, delicious and loaded with fiber, nutrients, protein, and healthy fats. No cooking, no chopping, and literally only a handful of ingredients. 


The coconut milk makes this pudding so thick and creamy, and loads it up with an ample dose of saturated fats to support brain function and healthy appetites. We’ve also added some Green Dream for a detoxifying and energizing boost of superfoods.


TIP: You can prepare a few mason jars with chia pudding and leave them in the fridge, they can be easily taken to work for a healthy snack and are perfect after a yoga practice. The chia pudding keeps well for about 3-4 days in the fridge.

Superfood Green Honey Chia Seed Pudding

Makes: 1-2 servings


Gather This:

¼ cup chia seeds

1 ½ cups of canned coconut milk

1 tbsp superfood honey (we used Cosmic Dream but any raw superfood honey would work!)

1-2 tbsp Green Dream


Do This:

Pour the entire can of coconut milk into a bowl then mix in your chia seeds, honey and Green Dream. Make sure all of your ingredients are combined, then add a large mason jar or storing container. Set your pudding in the fridge to chill (until the chia seeds absorb the liquid- about an hour so).  

Once ready to enjoy, give it a good stir and add a little sea salt or sweetener to taste, along with some of your favorite toppings.

Not only does cacao provide that addictively yummy chocolatey flavor, this star superfood also ignites your body’s joy and pleasure centers, elevating your senses and opening your heart.


This recipe uses our Cacao Magic Superfood Blend for even extra mood-balancing and energizing properties with a rich chocolate flavor. Chocolate covered strawberries make a pretty, bite-size dessert that everyone loves. They are beautiful and tasty, but also incredibly simple. 

Sophie Jaffe Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Gather This:

1 pint fresh strawberries

1 (10-ounce) package chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk, vegan)

¾ cup Coconut Magic (or coconut butter of choice)

¼ cup Cacao Magic

1 teaspoon coconut oil

Cacao nibs & salt for decoration (optional)


Do This:

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, top with a wire rack and set aside. Line another baking sheet with parchment paper to use for cooling the dipped strawberries. If using any optional toppings, place those onto individual small plates.

Wash strawberries and then pat dry with paper towels and arrange on the wire rack to completely air dry to make sure chocolate adheres perfectly.

Add chocolate cups to medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval. Repeat until the chocolate is all melted and smooth. Set aside.

Using a microwave, small pot or double boiler, melt Coconut Magic (or coconut butter) to a liquid. This should be done on low heat to ensure it doesn’t burn. Stir in Cacao Magic and coconut oil. Whisk together chocolate in one bowl. 

Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted chocolate. Then sprinkle on cacao nibs & salt if desired. Serve once the chocolate has hardened or store in the refrigerator. ENJOY!
