Claire Bear and I created these delicious, nourishing chocolate banana cookies that are perfect for any time of the day. They’re packed with nutrients and lightly sweetened with a bit of raw cane sugar.

Let me know if you try them — you will not be disappointed.

Claire Bear’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Cookies

Ingredients
1/2 cup prepared PB Fit peanut butter
1/3 cup chocolate chips (we use Enjoy Life brand)
1/4 cup cacao powder
Dash of Watkins sprinkles
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 ripe bananas, mashed well
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup oat flour (blend rolled oats to make your own)
2 to 3 tablespoons raw cane sugar OR 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°.

In a large bowl, mash the bananas very well until mostly smooth.

Add the peanut butter, chocolate chips, cacao powder, vanilla extract, oat flour, and sweetener of choice. Mix until fully combined.

Scoop 1 to 2 tablespoons of batter per cookie onto a lined baking sheet. Gently flatten slightly if desired. Top with sprinkles.

Bake for about 15 minutes.

Allow cookies to cool for at least 15 minutes so they can firm up and set properly.

Spent time with my sweet client Sheryl today talking about something so important… eating healthy does not have to cost a fortune.

We walked through how to actually read food labels, and it was so encouraging to see her confidence grow. Here’s the simple rule we talked about, if you can read the ingredients and recognize them as real food, it’s a great choice. If the ingredient list looks like a science experiment and you cannot pronounce half of it, gently place it back on the shelf. Less ingredients usually means less inflammation and more nourishment for your body.

Sheryl, I am so proud of your willingness to be well. That humble, teachable heart is what brings lasting transformation. Keep going, friend. 😊

I thought of something to use to increase the nutrition of my kids mac & cheese, so I added beef gelatin to our Goodles and it was actually amazing 😂 The sauce got extra creamy and held together perfectly. Nutritionally, beef gelatin adds collagen-based protein with amino acids that support growing kids’ joints, bones, gut health, and connective tissue, on top of the protein, calcium, and vitamins already in the cheese. Sneaky nourishment MOM win!

I used about 1 teaspoon of beef gelatin to dissolve in 1/4 cup of oat milk, but you can use any milk. Let dissolve for about 5 minutes in the milk before adding with cheese sauce. You want to make sure that the gelatin is completely dissolved.

Coach tip: Kids grow on consistency, not perfection. Small upgrades to foods they already love equals less stress and better nourishment.

“Let’s say NO to Nerds!”

This information is DISTRIBUTING and should not be taken lightly. A recent report from the Florida Department of Health tested popular candies for heavy metals like arsenic, and some results showed detectable levels in certain candies, including Nerds. According to their analysis, consuming as few as about 96 individual pieces over the course of a year could exceed what they consider a safe annual exposure level for a child, which is eye-opening considering how many pieces are in one small box. This isn’t about fear or never allowing treats, but about awareness, moderation, and making informed choices when we can for our kids’ health.

By now, most of us have heard of the “Dirty Dozen”, the list of fruits and vegetables that tend to have the highest levels of pesticides.

And let’s be honest, finding organic produce that tastes good and doesn’t blow the grocery budget can feel nearly impossible.

Here’s a simple kitchen tip you may not know. A 2017 study from the University of Massachusetts found that soaking produce for 12–15 minutes in a 1% baking soda solution (about 1 teaspoon of baking soda per 2 cups of water) can remove up to 96% of surface pesticide residue.

This is a simple, affordable, and a helpful option for your next produce haul.

Dr. C knocked it out of the park again with his “From Burnout to All In” speech at the Midwinter Osteopathic Annual Seminar!

He shared powerful, practical ways to prevent burnout by finding joy again, working through stressors, and grounding yourself in truth. The response was incredible, so many attendees shared that it was one of the best burnout talks they’ve ever heard. .1

Please continue to pray that the Lord uses Dr. C to reach and support those who are struggling with burnout.

If you’d like to support Dr. C, you can purchase his book, From Burnout to All In, on Amazon. It’s truly a great read for any occupation. The link is listed here. https://a.co/d/7rw8BSC

Thank you to everyone for your prayers and continued support, it means more than you know.

Looking for a healthy breakfast that’s packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats? Look no more!

Casciola Coaching is happy to share a simple recipe that will fuel your mind, body, and spirit during these colder months. If you’re looking for a breakfast with sustainable protein to support hormone balance, manage hunger, and still be easy enough for a busy morning, this one is for you.

Protein Packed Oatmeal Bowl
½ cup organic rolled oats (quality matters, Nature’s Path is our approved brand), cooked on the stovetop or in the microwave
1 tablespoon organic milled flaxseed
¼ cup egg whites

Mix all ingredients together and cook in the microwave for about 2 minutes and 30 seconds, or until the egg whites are fully cooked and no longer runny.

Add a pinch of salt for a savory oatmeal bowl, or drizzle with raw honey or real maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a French toast style twist.

This meal truly hits all of your macros and is full of flavor. I know it sounds a little strange, but trust me, this will quickly become your go to breakfast, or even lunch or dinner.

I had the pleasure of teaching my dear friend Rachel how to cook tofu in a way that tastes similar to shredded roasted chicken. I love that it was a hit with her family. Thank you, Rachel, for being open, willing, and excited to try healthier alternatives as part of your wellness journey. 🥳

Thank you to my beautiful client, Melissa, for making this for me. This truly warms my heart. 🥹

So many of us spend far too much time focused on what people think, say, or believe about us, and when we do that, it can keep us in bo***ge and afraid to step fully into the calling the Lord has placed before us.

We are called to lift one another up, because the tongue has the power to give life or death. Jesus does not call us to be friends with everyone, but He does call us to speak truth, kindness, and love. Truth that is grounded in Scripture, not in the way the world teaches us to be.

Please do not let what others say or think about you stop you from living out your full purpose. Biblical boundaries are so important with family, friends, and colleagues. Each of us has a unique and important calling that the Lord has placed on our lives.

Now go out and live it, step boldly into the full potential God has placed inside you. 🙌🏼

My beautiful client and bestie has worked so hard over the past year to achieve her wellness goals, just look at her now! 40 pounds down and a lifetime of health to go! There is truly nothing that can stop this girl. She chose to make intentional changes for her health and to be a powerful example for her family. I am beyond thankful that God placed her in my life. She inspires me to be better every single day. 💪🏼
