Make this cilantro lime dressing recipe the next time you prepare a Mexican meal. It’s bright, sunny and fresh! This dressing is boldly flavored with fresh lime, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, honey, cumin and Dijon mustard. You can make it creamy or spicy if you wish.
Drizzle this dressing over crisp greens with sliced avocado and toasted pepitas for a perfectly simple side salad. You’ll find a longer list of salad toppings to choose from below.
I improvised this dressing to make a green salad with leftovers from my Fajita Veggie & Halloumi Bowls, and I loved it so much that I wanted to share it with you. It’s almost as versatile as my favorite Lemon Vinaigrette and suits some flavors even better.
This dressing comes together quickly in the food processor and keeps in the refrigerator for up to one week. Sometimes having a vibrant sauce on hand makes all the difference!

Looking for a stack of fluffy, delicious pancakes that are also gluten-free and totally addictive? Almond Flour Banana Pancakes are going to be your new go-to breakfast. They take minutes to whip up, making them perfect for a busy morning. Since these pancakes are made with both yogurt and almond flour, they’re also a terrific source of protein!
Step 1: Whisk the eggs, honey, vanilla, mashed banana and yogurt in a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl combine the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 2: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk to combine. Don’t over mix.
Step 3: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and add oil or butter. You don’t want the pan to be too hot or the pancakes will get too dark. Place several spoonfuls of the mixture in the pan, making several silver dollar sized pancakes, and cook for 3 minutes on each side.
Step 4: Serve with maple syrup, additional sliced bananas or dollop of yogurt on top.
Yes! I love making a big batch of almond flour banana pancakes and freezing leftovers. To freeze, allow the pancakes to cool completely, place them in a freezer safe bag, and label. Freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, place a pancake in toaster oven or oven at 300°F and heat for 10 minutes or until heated through.
It’s best to make the batter fresh, as almond flour can absorb moisture and change the consistency over time. However, you can mix the dry and wet ingredients separately the night before and combine them just before cooking.
These pancakes are versatile and can be topped with fresh berries, sliced bananas, a drizzle of maple syrup, almond butter, or even a sprinkle of chopped nuts. Get creative and use your favorite toppings!
This almond flour banana pancake recipe is not only gluten-free but also packed with nutrients and natural sweetness. Not to mention, they’re so tasty! If you make this recipe and love it, leave a review and comment below.

Here’s how to make frozen yogurt! This homemade frozen yogurt recipe is so simple and comes out tangy and creamy with just 3 ingredients. Essentially a Greek yogurt ice cream, it hits the spot in any season—add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Did you know you can make homemade frozen yogurt with only 3 ingredients? (We did not.) Frozen yogurt gives us major nostalgia, since both of us frequented those popular froyo chains as kids. We absolutely love the tang and icy texture of frozen yogurt, so Alex and I set about to create a next-level, simple way to make it at home.
Why we love this recipe: Our whole family goes crazy for this homemade frozen yogurt! It’s tangy, creamy, and full of bold flavor. Essentially a Greek yogurt ice cream, it works as topping for fruit desserts or with its own with all the fun froyo toppings. Count us all obsessed!
All you need is 3 ingredients to make homemade frozen yogurt! The fourth ingredient is optional and not totally needed for flavor, though you probably have it in your pantry already. Here are the ingredients you need to make frozen yogurt at home:
It’s nice if you have an ice cream maker for homemade frozen yogurt: it’s our recommended path for making this recipe. But you can also make it using a food processor! Here are the steps for how to make frozen yogurt at home (or go to the full recipe):
Step 1: Whisk together vigorously the yogurt, cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Step 2: Freeze the yogurt mixture in an ice cream maker. Or, you can freeze it in silicon ice cube trays for 3 hours, then pop out the cubes and blend in a food processor until smooth. This should have a soft serve consistency (or freeze 2 to 3 hours for a scoopable consistency).
Step 3: Top with toppings and serve.
There are a few pros and cons to making frozen yogurt in an ice cream maker versus a food processor! Here’s what to know:
For a fun presentation, you can pipe the frozen yogurt into a bowl using a pastry bag! It’s totally optional and just for looks.
The sky’s the limit when it comes to homemade frozen yogurt toppings, of course! Just use anything you might find at a frozen yogurt shop. Here are some of our favorite ideas:
Homemade frozen yogurt is best eaten when freshly made. Leftovers store in the freezer up to 1 week. But keep in mind, the texture becomes very icy and hard when frozen overnight, so allow it to thaw on the counter for at least 30 minutes before scooping. After thawing, consider running it through a food processor to allow it to come to a more uniform texture before serving.
There are so many more ways to serve this frozen yogurt recipe! We like it as a topping for desserts, more like a Greek yogurt ice cream. Try it on blueberry cobbler, blueberry crumble, olive oil brownies, rhubarb crisp, peach crisp, apple cobbler, or apple crisp.
Love whipping up frozen treats? They’re perfect as summer desserts or any time of the year. Here are a few more fun ideas to try:
This homemade yogurt recipe is vegetarian and gluten-free.
While an ice cream maker yields the creamiest results, you can make delicious frozen yogurt with a food processor, too.
Greek yogurt is the most common base due to its thick texture and high protein content. You can also use regular yogurt or a combination of both.
Honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, or sugar are all suitable sweeteners. Adjust the amount based on your desired sweetness level.
Get creative! You can use fresh or frozen fruit, extracts (like vanilla or almond), chocolate chips, peanut butter, or even spices like cinnamon or cardamom.
The freezing time varies depending on the method and recipe. With an ice cream maker, it usually takes about 20-30 minutes.

Yield: 4 to 6 Here’s how to make frozen yogurt! This homemade frozen yogurt recipe is so simple and comes out tangy and creamy with just 3 ingredients. Essentially a Greek yogurt ice cream, it hits the spot in any season: add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
*This frozen yogurt tastes pleasantly tangy. If desired for a sweeter frozen yogurt, add ¼ cup additional sugar. If you’d like, you can substitute honey, agave syrup, or pure maple syrup for the sweetener. Keep in mind the color will look slightly darker with maple syrup.
**For a fun presentation, you also can pipe it into a cup using a pastry bag (completely optional; we did it just for the photos).
***Add the toppings of your choice! Try sprinkles, fresh strawberries or raspberries, strawberry compote, edible cookie dough, and more.

This is a healthier fruit dip recipe that your kids will love! If you’re trying to get your family to eat more fruit this easy recipe is a great way to do it. It’s made with Cool Whip and yogurt, so it’s less sweet than ones made with marshmallow fluff. Plus, you can customize the flavors to switch it up.
I’m always looking for ways to get them (and me!) to eat more fruit and this easy yogurt fruit dip is one of my favorite secret weapons. Unlike other recipes that are made with cream cheese or pudding mix, this version has yogurt so it’s lighter and less sweet.
It takes minutes to make and is flavored with fresh orange juice and zest for a citrus twist. What I love about it is that I can switch up the flavors by using different kinds of yogurt and adding different extracts – it’s fun to experiment and come up with new flavor combinations.
This is the best fruit dip – it’s great as a snack or light dessert and always disappears fast. You’ll love this and it’ll get you and your family to eat more fresh fruit!
Be sure to taste as you’re making it – you can always add a little more sweetness, but it’s hard to take it out if you add too much. You can also sweeten your dip with a sugar substitute, honey, or maple syrup.

This mixed berry smoothie recipe is made with simple ingredients and is also very flexible. Here’s what we used:
There are lots of different ingredients you can add to this mixed berry smoothie for extra nutrients and to make it more filling. Here are a few ideas:
I love using this mixed berry smoothie recipe to make delicious smoothie bowls! The smoothie itself becomes the base foundation of the bowl, then just top the smoothie with yummy toppings like fresh fruit, seeds, granola, and maybe a drizzle of honey. Smoothie bowls are super versatile and easy to customize based on what you currently have in your fridge and pantry. They’re also super filling and just a fun way to turn this breakfast smoothie into a refreshing sweet treat! ;)
You can often find great deals on fresh berries when they are in season. Berries are mostly in season during the Summer and early Fall months. Use this time to grab your favorite berries when they are on sale and freeze them for later! Sometimes I even go strawberry picking with my little ones in the month of May, then freeze some of the strawberries to use the rest of the year.
See how we calculate recipe costs here.
Gather together 3 cups of frozen mixed berries, 1 frozen banana (sliced in half), 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 Tbsp of sugar, and 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk.
Add all of the ingredients to a large blender and blend until smooth.
If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk as needed to make it blend smoothly.
How gorgeous does this smoothie look? Serve immediately and enjoy!

These fluffy cranberry orange muffins will make your house smell like the holidays! I hope they become your new favorite holiday muffin recipe. They’re fluffy and moist and delicious—everything I want a muffin to be.
These muffins are bursting with fresh cranberry and orange flavor. This recipe calls for fresh cranberries, which are generally available in United States grocery stores from October or November through December. You can also use frozen cranberries, but I don’t recommend dried cranberries here.
These muffins are made with wholesome ingredients like whole wheat flour and Greek yogurt. They’re naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup. You can keep those details to yourself, though—no one will guess that these muffins are healthier than most.
You can easily mix these together by hand. No mixer required. Serve them for breakfast or brunch, or bring them to your holiday parties!
It took me eight tries to get these muffins just right, but they were absolutely worth the effort. I’m sharing the recipe again because they’re just so wonderful this time of year.
