If you’re following a low carb lifestyle, chances are that you’ve run across family members not always wanting to go along with every aspect. My entire family is mostly low carb already, except for years my husband insisted on having a processed, sugar-filled powdered drink mix for breakfast. This healthy low carb smoothie recipe arose out of my millionth attempt to change that. And finally, a chocolate peanut butter smoothie was what did it!...

Truth be told, when I first made this healthy sweet potato casserole, I was not in the market for a new sweet potato recipe. For years, I’d made and loved my mom’s Glazed Sweet Potatoes with Whiskey Pecans. It, Butternut Squash Casserole, and Rosemary Bacon Mushroom Stuffing are my favorite Thanksgiving side dishes to the extent that after the meal, I hide a container of them in an undisclosed location for my own personal consumption....

This easy no yeast naan recipe is ready in less than an hour and bewitches with its fluffy center and blistered exterior. Thanks to the optional (or not optional) finishing brush of garlic butter, it holds its own against any traditional naan recipe you’d order in a restaurant. Even though I adore Indian food today, when I first tried it at the age of 12, I was not a fan....

One of the most common questions I get is about how to find an egg substitute in my keto baking recipes. While I personally don’t have an egg allergy and have lots of keto egg recipes here on Wholesome Yum, I’m all for providing people with options. Eggs are naturally vegetarian, but they aren’t vegan, and some people avoid them for other reasons. That’s why I’m publishing this post about how to make a flax egg....

And, this Greek chicken meal prep bowls recipe is one of my favorites. Everything is made in one pan, it’s quick and easy, uses common ingredients, and it’s both paleo & whole30 if you skip the optional feta topping....

Sweet, saucy, and smoky keto sloppy joes are an easy meal that everyone loves. No one will be able to tell that this sugar-free sloppy joe meat is keto friendly. Thanks to Besti Brown Sweetener, it has that sweet brown sugar flavor! I have to admit, sloppy joes remind me of childhood school lunches. But don’t worry – I set a higher bar than that. After testing this low carb sloppy joe recipe on my kids and friends, I can confidently say that it’s worth it....

I can’t remember the last time I had a cafe-style slice of banana bread. Whilst I love sugar-filled baked treats, banana bread is the one thing I find that tastes better pared back on the sugar front. I prefer my healthier version any day. This loaf is completely refined sugar-free, with just a little rice malt / brown rice syrup added to the batter. This low sugar banana bread is the very best way to use up those overripe bananas sitting on the bench at the end of the week....

With the exception of a bell pepper (which you can add one, two, or none of), this easy recipe is made nearly entirely of pantry staples. If the word “pantry staples” makes you quiver by this point, please stay with me. This recipe is going to taste fresh and lively and not at all like you made it by doing a deep dive into your cabinet, grabbing cans of this and that, stirring them together, and praying for the best (even though shhhh that is exactly what we are going to do, and it’s going to be FANTASTIC)....

Mulled wine is popular throughout Europe, especially at Christmas, and I was hooked from the first sip. While I can’t state authoritatively that this is the most traditional mulled wine recipe (there seem to be as many variations of mulled wine as there are European cafés in which to sip them), I’ve made enough batches over the years to state with confidence that this is the best mulled wine recipe....

As odd as it sounds, I find that as long as I have a good serving of protein first thing in the morning, I make better dietary choices all day long. This Sugar Cookie Overnight Protein Oatmeal and these Peanut Butter Protein Bars are two of my favorite easy ways to add extra protein to my breakfasts, and these lightly sweet, nutty oatmeal protein cookies have quickly become another. With 6 grams of protein per cookie, these cookies energize my body and keep me full all morning long (so do these Peanut Butter Protein Cookies)....

It very similar to the regular egg omelet or mushroom omelet. All we need here is a good amount of chopped veggies, eggs or egg whites and oats. This Oats egg omelette can also be had for a light lunch or dinner too and is quite filling and heavy....
