This week I am sharing one of my favorite archived recipes and because my love language is giving, I have a special Mother’s Day giveaway of a few of my favorite things {scroll down for details}.
It is no surprise that the giveaways are food related… as I reach for my third homemade Apple Protein Ball!
Let me address the ladies reading this post since Mother’s Day is approaching. When was the last time you indulged and did something “good” for yourself?
Let me be clear, “indulged” and “good” were in the same sentence; therefore, your answers should not include I went to a movie and ate a jumbo {fake} buttered {gmo} popcorn or I devoured a pint of {high fructose corn syrup} cookies and cream frozen fright…I mean delight!
Since you know I’m all about clean eating, I prefer we rollick in some mindful indulgences. Here is where made with love enters.
Ginny Bakes has been my go-to clean eating cookie since I am a recovering Chips Ahoy addict! As a mom, I also wanted to bring mindful, clean eating habits into my home {we shouldn’t mention here the few times I’ve been known to indulge the whole box in two days}.
Just ask my daughter how many times she’s gone searching for a sweet treat to only find the Ginny Bakes have disappeared! Did I mention Ginny’s cookies are made with GMO free and organic ingredients?!
My other giveaway is with my friend over at Nikki’s Coconut Butter! With flavors like honey pecan pie, vanilla cake batter, chocolate fudge and chocolate mint chip we can indulge mindfully with the sense of joyous rebellion!
I have used her coconut butter’s in many of my recipes like my recent Protein Apple Pie Balls, Lemon Blueberry Bars, Pumpkin Spice Smoothie and my dairy-free Ranch-O-Yum Dressing.
I just had a dreamy foodie vision of Ginny Bake’s Butter Crisp cookies dipped into Nikki’s Honey Pecan Coconut Butter or better yet, her Vanilla Cake Batter drizzled all over one of Ginny’s Chocolate Chip Macadamia cookies!!!
Oh for heaven’s sake, let me just get on with how you can win your very own mindful indulgences before we start drooling all over our phones and computer keypads!
Here are the details: All you have to do is sign up for our FREE recipes & health tips {in upper right box} or if you already receive Spoonful of Health’s emails please share this post on Facebook or Instagram and “TAG” us so we can keep track of your name for entries.

Happy Mother’s Day to each one of you who make a difference in this world, raising our littles to be healthy eaters. Also, I am grateful I get to share with each of you {moms or not} how to bring healthy back into your diet.
