10 Can’t Miss Holiday Season Food Products

This round up features yummy, mostly healthy holiday season food products! 

I don’t know about you guys, but I go nuts for seasonal foods and flavors. In the summertime I’m all about berries and watermelon everything, and then I move straight into apple and pumpkin season in the fall, which blurs right into this time of the year. It’s the holly jolly holiday season, when I’m into peppermint & everything festive.

Peppermint hot cocoa by my Christmas tree

In the spirit of this yummy season, today I’m rounding up some goodies to enjoy this time of year. Let’s get to my list of holiday season food products to try!

Perfect Bar Mint Peanut Butter Cups

Perfect Snacks’ line of peanut butter cups are so good. I like to grab a pack of peanut butter cups late afternoon when I’m craving something chocolatey and need a quick snack. Their dark chocolate mint flavor is awesome this time of year when I’m into all things minty.

Why are Perfect Snacks’ PB cups better for you than your run of the mill convenience store PB cups? Each serving contains 7 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, and 20 organic superfoods – including kale, papaya, carrot, spinach and flax seed – and is coated in fair trade chocolate (also, they’re non-GMO certified).

Yasso Seasonal Greek Yogurt Bars

The popular frozen dessert bar brand has come out with three seasonal flavors: peppermint crunch, sugar cookie & pumpkin cheesecake varieties. At 120 calories & 5 grams of protein a pop, they’re a delicious choice when you want a little something sweet.

Goodie Girl Chocolate Mint Cookies

If you’re a cookie lover, Goodie Girl is an awesome must-try brand. Their cookies are gluten free, (they use flour made with oats, rice, potato and more), use sustainably sourced palm oil and chocolate, and are peanut free. Honestly, their cookies are borderline addictive!

Goodie Girl’s limited edition flavor is Chocolate Mint Creme, and their regular mint cookies are amazing (better than Girl Scout Thin Mints in my opinion!).

Trader Joe’s Peppermint Pretzels

Oh Trader Joe’s, you never let us consumers down when it comes to seasonal products. Their peppermint pretzel slims are a decadent pretzel that pairs perfectly with a cup of hot cocoa.

Lenny & Larry’s Holiday Complete Cookies

Free from dairy, egg or soy ingredients, high fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners, Lenny & Larry’s cookies are popular in the healthy snack food world. They’re a nice source of fiber and protein, and their holiday collection includes pumpkin pie (my favorite), gingerbread and peppermint chocolate varieties.

Skinny Pop White Chocolate Peppermint Kettle Corn

Enjoy guilt-free snacking with Skinny Pop’s white chocolate peppermint kettle corn, which has a subtle peppermint flavor. My toddler has been enjoying this popcorn with my popcorn-obsessed dog close by in the likely event that she drops a few kernels!

TJ’s Festive Tortilla Chips

While these tortilla chips don’t actually contain any ingredients that you wouldn’t find in typical chips, these Trader Joe’s tortilla chips come in festive shapes, like stockings and Christmas trees. They’re cute to have around your appetizer table during a family gathering.

Whole Foods 365 Peppermint Ice Cream Bars

Whole Foods makes some awesome ice cream varieties, and one seasonal flavor from them is their pink peppermint ice cream bars.

Siggi’s Pumpkin & Spice Skyr Yogurt

The Icelandic yogurt brand offers a seasonal pumpkin & spice low-fat yogurt. What I like about Siggi’s is that their yogurts are high in protein (around 15 grams a serving) while being moderate in sugar (around 10 grams per yogurt). Sometimes I throw some granola or cereal & a few chocolate chips on top of my pumpkin yogurt.

TJ’s Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti

I had to include something cranberry on this list! These seasonal cranberry pistachio biscotti pair perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea.

Tell me.. What’s your favorite holiday season food product?

    Ok, apparently a trip to Trader Joe’s is in my future! Those tortilla chips look fun, but the pretzels are totally calling my name!

Got to bake up some delicious macarons in the beautiful city of Paris! 💕 

Macarons are high on my daughter’s list of favorite desserts, and it was lovely learning how to make them from a Parisian pastry chef! The macaron ingredient list is short, but making them is an art ✨

Packed with fruit… but my kid calls it ice cream🍦We love breaking out our @yonanas gadget all summer long! 

My favorite way to make fruit soft serve 👇🏼

INGREDIENTS
1 sliced ripe banana, frozen
2/3 cup strawberries, frozen
favorite toppings: sprinkles, nuts, nut butter, etc

INSTRUCTIONS
Remove your fruit from the freezer. Allow it to thaw for about 10 minutes, until it starts to slightly soften.
Place the frozen fruit into the Yonanas maker, a handful at a time. I like to run about 1/2 the banana, then the strawberries, and then the rest of the banana through the machine straight into a bowl. I then use a spoon to swirl the fruit together, and immediately place the soft serve into cones if using.
Add in your favorite toppings and enjoy before it melts!
Serves 1 - scale up as desired!

School’s out for my little girl ☀️& here are 4️⃣ screen-free tools that I’m using to keep my 6 year old busy and learning when we’re home this summer: 

1️⃣ @mondaymandala’s awesome array of free digital printables on just about anything you can think of 🖍️

2️⃣ @youngwildandfriedman’s amazing sensory kits that are high-quality and last forever. I have purchased a serious amount of these play dough and sensory sand kits over the years & they are worth every penny! My kiddo will spend hours setting up all of the little trinkets and building little play dough towns.

3️⃣ @Canva’s printable educational worksheets ✏️ For instance, I printed out money worksheets & am planning on doing a money lesson that includes us emptying out her piggy bank to delve deeper into currency & paying for something she wants at the store with her own 💵

4️⃣ A @brain_quest workbook — I bought one last summer as well & we love incorporating it into little lessons at home!

Spent the day at 📍Murrieta Hot Springs & thoroughly enjoyed it there! 

While we have visited numerous fun hot springs with our daughter, it was definitely nice to be out of mom mode & experience our local hot springs while our little one was in school. From hot tubs and cold plunges to saunas & clay mud, we got to kick back & enjoy it all!

This dinner at Eastern Mediterranean restaurant @ammatoli in Long Beach, CA 📍deserves a place on the grid — because sometimes, a foodie mom simply *must* book the reservation as she drools looking at the menu online, all the while having zero confidence that her mini me will be willing to eat a morsel of food there. 

Our veggie-forward dishes, the ambiance & aesthetic, the service…all exquisite at Ammatolí! Swipe to see my daughter’s obsession - their mint tea! 🌿☕️ She too left a happy camper, with a belly full of tea and warm pita bread.
