Sweet Surrender: Summer Real Food Recipes

Summer calls for a little more sweetness, wouldn't ya say?




I mean just the vast amount of fruit in season and extended days are pretty darn sweet as it is!



Wanted to share these 5 fun, summer-y, sweet treats with you today.



If you enjoy those and want a collection of FORTY-TWO just like 'em, I'm excited to share the BRAND NEW Sweet Surrender: Summer Real Food Desserts e-cookbook with you. It's available for purchase now and for a limited time -- ya know ...seasonal things.  ;-) There is something for everyone in this collection. Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, not vegan, just sweet, sweet + tart / savory, 3-ingredient and 5-minute options, more traditional baking-type options, plenty to have outdoors on the grill or campfire too!



There are no ice pop recipes in that collection because I made a whole ice pop collection for you for free recently! If you missed it, here it is. And a printer-friendly version is here.



Keep in mind ... these are indulgences! They are not PFF-balanced. They are meant to be occasional, fun + nostalgic treats but made with more wholesome ingredients than most indulgences have.



Hope you're having a pretty SWEET week so far (see what I did there?)!



XO,
Tara

Summer Popsicle Recipe Collection

Most popsicles are like my trolls...




Cold on the inside and 90% artificial. 



HAHA! Heard that joke as "my wife is" and you know I had to switch that up. ;-)



If you've been checking out this blog for at least a year, you might remember that I shared a popsicle recipe collection last year around this time. If you missed it, no worries because I'm sharing all of those with you today AND SEVEN MORE that I just added. Most of the recipes that call for added sweetener like maple syrup are delicious without it too so feel free to dial that down if you'd like. Many are still indulgences, so just keep that in mind! And while they are all cold on the inside, these treats are the real deal -- nothing artificial about 'em.

Which one are you gonna try first? Tag me in your pictures if you make these! I wanna see. :-)



Can you believe the unofficial kickoff to Summer is here already?? I'll be half partying / enjoying and half working. With TRANSFORM: Body + Mind in session now plus my new, revamped 1:1 coaching program about to make it's debut to those who first signed up for the interested list (with more openings to come in the near future), there's so much happening behind-the-scenes here at Tara Allen Health! 



Hope you have a very happy Memorial Day Weekend.



XO,
Tara
