We all want to be that lady…
The mom who’s always called upon to bring treats for the kids’ class because her treats are the best.
The gal who’s famous for her tasty dishes at potlucks.
The lady who always has something to snack on for friends, her kids’ friends, or unannounced visitors.
Guess what?
You can be that lady and not spend hours planning or prepping, slave over a hot stove, or even turn on your oven. And you can include healthy superfoods and adaptogens while you’re at it.
Are you ready for my little secret?

And these spicy little bites of goodness can be whipped up in 10 minutes in your blender or food processor!

I made your raspberry no-bake treats and really enjoyed those. Now however I’m on a ketogenic diet. I’d like to try these ginger snap treats. Have you don’t these with stevia before?
Hey, Lee, I haven’t used stevia in any of these recipes. I think decreasing the sweetener that much would affect the outcome of the recipe, meaning you wouldn’t get as many treats and/or they wouldn’t hold together as well. I’m doing THM right now, so I feel your pain! If you do try them with stevia, will you let me know how they turn out? 🙂
Hi Lindsey, I love your recipes. From the information I read here on the GNOWFGLINS site, I bought Maca from the Maca Team for my husband to help with adrenal issues and chronic fatigue. He began taking it and said it didn’t help him feel any better. But then the other day, he said, “I’ve been taking double the amount and I’ve been feeling more energetic at work! The bag says take 1-3 tablespoons, so I went from 1 to 2, and I think I’ve really been feeling less blah! Better order some more.” This thrilled my heart of course, but when I looked at the bag, I saw that the dosage was 1-3 TEASPOONS, not tablespoons. Since maca is a food, can you take too much? Have you come across this in your research?
I like no bake recipes. I am a lazy mommy. I love sweets made up of coconut!
Do you find or have you heard that maca increases energy on already energetic toddlers?
