After craving cinnamon rolls, but not wanting the full calorie bomb most come with, I started scouring Pinterest for healthier recipes. I took Mason Woodruff’s microwave cinnamon roll recipe (which uses carb quick) and tweaked it a bit to make it even more Macro Friendly. My version uses a variation on the popular Weight Watcher’s…

It’s that time of year when #PumpkinEverything is making its way around the ‘gram and the blogosphere. I’m here to throw a different holiday treat in the mix!

#MacroFriendlyMonday20 — Strawberry Banana Cream Yogurt Bowl!
Strawberry Banana Cream Yogurt Bowl! 🍓🍌🍨🥜 This yogurt bowl variation is a melding of two childhood (and adulthood 😂) favorites — peanut butter and jelly and peanut butter and banana.

#MacroFriendlyMonday12 — S’mores Jell-O Yogurt Pudding Bowl!
If you follow me on Instagram, it’s no secret that I have been enjoying a nightly #JellOYogurtBowl (#YJPBowl). My personal preference for them is to also add some sugar-free Jell-O pudding. I use either almond milk or cashew milk rather than regular milk which shaves off some calories and carbs. You could really use any…
