Green Smoothie. Mason Jar. Pretty much the iconic symbol of the health and wellness world, amiright? I love the sweet and refreshing combination of coconut milk, pineapple, mango, and lime. It’s basically a healthy twist on a pina colada.

Summer snacks are a haven for health-hazardous ingredients. So how do you still enjoy the treats of summer without compromising your (or your kids’) health?

As a mom, my purse (or beach bag!) is always equipped with my DIY summertime must-haves. Whether it’s too much sun or scraped knees, there’s always an essential oil combo I have on hand. Here are my top six favourites + my favourite guacamole recipe!

Dips are a staple in our house. Jackson (my toddler) is obsessed with them – hummus, guacamole, cashew cheese, and especially this Herbed White Bean Dip. It’s perfect for snacking or spreading on your favourite wraps. I love that it’s FULL of protein, fibre, and iron. Healthy + delicious.

One of my all-time favourite foods is chicken fingers. There is something just so deliciously perfect about them. Slight crunch, a little salty, and yummy AF. Chicken fingers aren’t usually synonymous with healthy food. Obviously, I had to make up a version that was. How else could I go on with my life if I didn’t?
