One simple tip to make your back to school mornings easier: meal prepping snacks! And these are a winner that the entire family will adore.

Shoutout to Natures Path Organics for always standing behind Organic + Non GMO ingredients in all their products. I searched long and far for Rice Puffs that wasn’t packed with added sugar, and stayed crispy these are now a staple in our pantry!

And their superfood qi’a topper is great for adding a nutrient dense boost to treats like this; but also to oatmeal, salads, yogurt bowls and more.

You can order these online or find them at your local grocery store! I shop for them at Save-On-Foods, Blush Lane, Superstore, and more!

This recipe is part of my Feel Good Treats Summer series, where we’re all about enjoying your favorite treats but making them healthier so you feel really freaking good! All the treats are damn delicious and also happen to be gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, anti-inflammatory, and mostly vegan. 

I started developing these feel-good treats after being diagnosed with Lyme disease. Check out the story and video here!
