Green Dream Maca-roons

This recipe evolved because I wanted to eat those amazing (zero nutrients) macaroons I had during the holidays from Trader Joes but didn't want the junk, empty calories + sugar rush/crash.

I gave little bites of these to Leo when he was 7 months old and He LOVED them! Kai has been having 2-3 as a snack after his nap with a large bottle of Kevita--our favorite non-dairy probiotic drink! It's made with coconut water and tastes amazing! We love the plain coconut flavor but they have amazing others--sold at most Whole Foods and grocery stores nationwide.

 

To joyful eating!

Halloween Berry Bliss Teething Cookies!

The other Philosophie mama writing to you today! I might be chiming in here and there so I should probably introduce myself...that way when you see pictures below of a child you have never seen before you won't go assuming that Sophie started taking pictures of random children in the park!!! That young one below is my son Levi, and he just turned one in September. I am Kelsey, his proud mama (most of the time!) and I am another Philosophie mama!!  

 

For all you mommies out there who need some help when your little one is teething these really helped my son. And, I made them fun for Halloween too! I actually made them just out of curiosity to see what they would turn out like, not entirely because I thought my son was teething. But BOY oh BOY did my baby boy need these today...

 

 Like REALLY REALLY needed them...

 

 

The teething cookies are really easy to make and with the added Berry Bliss superfood powder you are giving your kids a healthy, nutritious snack, too!! And you can have your kids help in making them into all sorts of fun shapes. Store them in an airtight container and you can have plenty for all those teething moments that come your way!
How fun would these be for Christmas?!! 

Berry Bliss Teething Cookies 

1 cup flour (I used half whole wheat and half coconut flour)

1 cup infant cereal 

3 tablespoon oil (I used Garden of Life coconut)

1 tsp cinnamon

ice water 

1 T Berry Bliss superfood blend

 

Heat oven to 425 degrees. 

Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl until it forms into a ball. Start with 1/4 cup ice water and add more as needed. Keep adding more ice water until it forms a dough.

On a floured surface roll out the dough very thin and use a cookie cutter to shape into anything you'd like. 

Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

 

 

 

 

Look at our poor dog begging in the corner...I guess a good thing is if your children don't like them they can double as dog treats! :) But I promise your kids will like them!!

 

Do you have any good tricks or strategies when your little ones are teething? Please share!
