Chocolate Zucchini Protein Muffin Recipe
I love this recipe for an easy grab-and-go breakfast. There’s an undetectable, sneaky vegetable hidden inside too!
These muffins are loaded with healthy fats and protein to help both you and your kids feel fuller longer and stay focused at work or school.
It’s gluten and dairy-free to accommodate food allergies or sensitivities, using Simply Nature Organic almond milk and Simply Nature Organic almond butter instead of flour.
Bento Box: Featuring Hummus Veggie Wrap Recipe
Bento boxes are a great way to make snacks fun and exciting for kids because there are so many ingredient possibilities!
ALDI has a large selection of ready-to-go options that are perfect for a bento box.
Fresh fruit and vegetables, Southern Grove Tranquility Trailmix, Emporium Selection Sliced Cheeses, liveGfree Crackers, and Simply Nature Organic fruit snacks all fit perfectly!
Here are some more ideas:
Feeling creative? You can also use their budget-friendly ingredients to make your own components to go inside, like this hummus veggie wrap.
To make this recipe, I used a liveGfree wrap, spread on a hearty layer of Simply Nature Organic hummus, and topped with lots of fresh vegetables from the large selection of high-quality produce at ALDI.
You can also add deli meat for more protein too if you’d like!
You can just roll it up and eat it, or roll it and slice it into pinwheel shapes to fit nicely in a bento box.
Tuna Salad Stuffed Bell Pepper Boat Recipe
This fresh and energizing recipe is perfect for both kids and their parents! It’s quick and easy to throw together and will keep you full and focused all afternoon.
I used Northern Catch sustainably caught tuna and Burman’s mayonnaise and mustard for flavor. If you or your kids don’t like tuna, you can always use shredded chicken instead.
I love to serve them with a side of Simply Nature Organic corn chips for carbs and a good crunch.
To wash those delicious recipes down:
Pair it with options from the large beverage selection at ALDI.
For kids, you can stock up on bottled water and juice boxes for easy grab-and-go hydration.
For adults, you’ll find VitaLife Organic Kombucha and PurAqua Belle Vie Flavored Sparkling Water.
One of my favorite afternoon treat mocktails can be made by mixing Simply Nature organic juices with plain PurAqua Belle Vie Sparkling Water, and garnishing with fresh fruit. So good!
I typically use a 16 oz glass, and fill it about 1/3 way with juice, and the rest of the way with the sparkling water.
