Hey y’all, hope you guys are enjoying all of your end of summer holiday festivities! Coach and I are taking it easy and spending quiet time with family. Nothing crazy and no major cook out. Mom ruined that by getting sick on a holiday weekend, get well soon moms! 🙂

Anyway, one of my favorite summer veggies is sitting in my fridge waiting to be used up so I decided to bake. Zucchini’s are in season from about May through about mid September so since we have a little bit of time to enjoy this veggie, I made something that will get your kiddos eating veggies. I made Chocolate Zucchini Bread Bites! And since September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, let’s get them in on the fun and the kitchen!

Zucchini’s contain more potassium than a banana, are rich in fiber as well as antioxidants. Add in a healthy dose of Vitamin A & C as well as manganese and you have an all star veggie!

Here’s what you’ll need for your super healthy Chocolate Zucchini Bread Recipe:

Dry:
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup cacao powder
1/4 cup ground flax
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp coconut sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Wet:
1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 egg
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Late Add-Ins:
1 cup grated zucchini
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Preparation: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl stir all of your dry ingredients together until completely combined.

Next, combine all of your wet ingredients in a separate bowl until combined as well. Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and pour in the wet. Fold the dry and wet ingredients until a batter is formed but making sure not to over mix.

Next add in the grated zucchini, then the chocolate chips until everything is incorporated.

Take a mini muffin tin and spray it with a non-stick cooking spray and fill the tins about 3/4 full. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. This recipe will yield 24 bites.

This sweet treat is so nutrient dense, you won’t even think twice about giving it to your kiddos! Coconut sugar is low glycemic, cacao powder is minimally processed so it retains much of the magnesium and iron. Couple that with the nutrients in the zucchini, the Omega 3s from the flax, super healthy fat from the coconut oil, not to mention this is a gluten free recipe. What’s not to love?

These zucchini bites are great for a small afternoon snack or as a sweet treat to pack in their lunch or post dinner.

I recall back in my not so fit days that when I’d sometimes order pizza, I’d usually always have leftovers. Those were obviously my pre Coach Kozak days because I never have leftovers now however back then, my takeout pizza was always a tasty breakfast treat, totally healthy I know. So I had a thought recently, why don’t we just take our favorite healthy breakfast foods and put them in pizza form!?

Here we have for you an incredibly tasty and healthy breakfast pizza! Best part is that you can totally have fun with your toppings and get the kiddos involved. Here are the ingredients you’ll need for my version of breakfast pizza:

1 sprouted grain tortilla or tortilla/wrap of your choice
1 egg + 1 egg white (can be omitted by my vegan friends)
2 chopped breakfast turkey patties (can be omitted by my vegan friends)
1/2 cup spinach
1/4 cup button mushrooms
3 tbsp shredded pepper jack cheese
2 tbsp sliced onion
1.5 tbsp pasta sauce of your choice

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees and once heated, place your tortilla in the oven for 3-4 minutes allowing it to crisp on the edges. Remove.

Next you’ll place your pasta sauce (I used a pesto) and layer your spinach on top of your sauce. Next, I already precooked my eggs and turkey patties and you’ll layer the eggs followed by your additional protein should you choose. You’ll then lastly add your mushrooms and onions followed by a few sprinkles of cheese. Bake for 10-12 minutes…

Once your pizza is ready, the cheese will be melted and bubbly! Now I used a vegan cheese so it doesn’t quite melt the way dairy cheese does or at least this particular brand didn’t but I must say, this breakfast pizza is great anytime of the day!
