by Natural VitalityMacadamia, Cranberry and Nut Butter Cookie
If you’re looking for a sweet treat but don’t want processed sugar, give these Macadamia, Cranberry and Nut Butter Cookies a try.

by Natural VitalityHealthier Homemade Popcorn
Preparing homemade popcorn is a time-honored tradition that shouldn’t be forgotten, in spite of microwave versions that might be easier. Popping your own also allows you to control all of the ingredients. This recipe calls for organic corn kernels and coconut oil, which is super good for you due to its antifungal and antibacterial properties and can even help you maintain a healthy weight. It’s a great oil to cook with as well, because it tolerates high heat without going rancid.
by Natural VitalityChloe’s Super Growing-Kid Smoothie
My 11-year-old, Chloe, is a devout vegetarian. She also dances 10 hours a week and does that thing all kids do that requires nutrition, grow. Add to that she isn’t a big breakfast eater and I’m faced with the challenge of getting enough calories in her each day. Thankfully she will slurp down a smoothie before school. Here’s her favorite regular smoothie. I like it because she gets around 10 grams of protein from Tera’s Whey, which I feel good about because it’s certified organic—the only whey protein on the market that I know of that is. The Natural Vitality Plant-Sourced Minerals offer an extra boost for insurance against deficiencies, and the coconut oil gives her some healthy fat.
