Lemon Carrot Cake Pops
Ingredients:
For the Filling –
2 large Granny Smith Apples (about 1 lb), peeled, cored & quartered
1 large carrot (add more carrots and/or apples if they are small)
1/2 cup or more shredded coconut
3 Tablespoons cashew butter
1/3 cup crushed or finely ground pecans, raw or toasted
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar
1 teaspoon 100% vanilla extract
2 tsp lemon juice and zest of one medium lemon
2 teaspoons apple juice
pinch of salt
For the Coating –
1/2 cup coconut butter, melted
2 tablespoons unrefined/cold pressed coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon 100% vanilla extract
zest of one medium sized lemon
coconut nectar
2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar
Grate the prepared apples and carrots.
Combine and squeeze the mixture a few times.
Transfer to a fine mesh strainer and press out as much juice as you can.
Set the juice aside and transfer the pulp into a medium sized bowl.
Add lemon zest to the bowl.
Add in coconut, cashew butter, pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg, coconut palm sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, apple juice, and salt.
Combine well, using hands. Form into a ball.
Roll into 10 golf-ball sized balls. If too dry, add more juice. If too wet, add more coconut.
Place on parchment lined baking sheet.
Add a lollipop or popsicle stick if making cake pops, skip this step if you are making cake balls.
Freeze for 45 minutes, or until firm.
Next, melt coconut butter and coconut oil until just melted. Combine in short drinking glass with vanilla, lemon zest, coconut nectar, and coconut palm sugar.
To assemble cake pops, take an egg carton, turn upside down, poke medium sized holes into each section. If you’re making cake balls, skip this step and just line a baking sheet with parchment.
Dip each cake ball in the coating. Let the excess coating drip off.
Stir coating mixture occasionally. Coating should harden.
Place each cake pop (stick side down) into a section of the egg carton.
Once all cake pops are dipped, dip each cake pop a second time. Let coating harden, transfer to a container, store in fridge.

Obesity and Eating Disorder Recovery Recipe: Apple Crisp

To this end, I try to provide my clients and readers nutritious and delicious recipes to enjoy both during and after their recovery journey at ‘The Norton Center for Eating Disorders & Obesity’.
Eating healthy can be quick and easy once you get the hang of it. The key is in the planning. When you get into the habit of having the right ingredients on hand, meal preparation is a breeze, not a source of agony.
BAKED APPLE CRISP
Filling Ingredients*
- 5 granny smith apples – peeled, cored, quartered, and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Toss sliced apples with lemon juice from ½ lemon to prevent browning.
- 1/2 cup grassfed butter
- 2/3 cup coconut crystals sugar
- 1 tsp. each cinnamon, nutmeg
- ½ tsp. ginger (optional)
- 1 Tbsps. Water
Directions for Filling
Melt butter in a large skillet over low heat.
Stir in sugar and spices until sugar begins to dissolve, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add apples and enough water to prevent sticking; continue cooking and stirring until apples soften and are coated with sauce, 4 to 5 minutes.
Topping Ingredients*
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1 cup organic rolled oats or 1/2 cup hulled hemp seeds
- ½ cup coconut crystals sugar
- 1 tsp. each cinnamon, nutmeg
- ½ tsp. ginger (optional)
- 1 beaten egg
- ½ cup grass-fed butter
Directions for topping:
Mix dry ingredients (flour, rolled oats, or hemp, sugar and spices) together in a large bowl. Toss in beaten egg and melted butter. Toss until well blended.
Pour apples and sugar mixture into a 2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle topping evenly over the apple filling.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned and the filling is bubbling up around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes and serve with full fat cream, milk, whipped cream or a scoop of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream, which is made with grass-fed cream.
Serves 8.
*All ingredients should be organic when possible.
Nutrition Info (without Ice Cream)
Using Hemp Seeds – 450 calories, 32 g of fat, 6 g of protein, 36 g of carbs, 7 g of fiber
Using Oats – 435 calories, 28 g of fat, 4 g of protein, 44 g of carbs, 8 g of fiber
Substitutes
You can substitute Jovial Foods Ginger Spice Cookies for the flour and oats, by either putting them into a food processor (which makes this a very quick recipe) or rolling them out between two sheets of waxed paper or parchment paper. If you use the food processor, throw the rest of the ingredients in to finish blending the topping.
To make this even more of a Thanksgiving dish, you can add cranberries. I like to buy them fresh and cook them into a compote, using a cup of the coconut sugar and enough water to cover the cranberries. Then just substitute 1 cup of the cooked cranberries for 2 of the apples.

Obesity and Eating Disorder Recovery Blog: Mashed Cauliflower
//www.flickr.com/photos/rooey/
In my experience, clients that are in treatment for bulimia, binge eating disorder, anorexia or bulimarexia are typically faced with an increased risk of inadequate nutrition. To this end, I try to provide my clients and readers nutritious and delicious recipes to enjoy both during and after their recovery journey at ‘The Norton Center for Eating Disorders & Obesity’.
Eating healthy can be quick and easy once you get the hang of it. The key is in the planning. When you get into the habit of having the right ingredients on hand, meal preparation is a breeze, not a source of agony.
For more recipes, be sure to visit my Recipe Corner!
Mashed Cauliflower
- 8 cups bite-size cauliflower florets (about 1 head)
- 2-4 capfuls garlic juice
- 1/2 cup Kalona cottage cheese or any organic, grassfed cottage cheese
- 4 teaspoons extra-virgin cold pressed organic coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon grass-fed butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- Snipped fresh chives for garnish (optional)
The easiest way to grate cauliflower is to do it in a food processor using the grating blade. If you do not have one, a cheese grater works. The idea is to use as much of the head as possible. It should look like snow when you are done.
Place grated cauliflower into a microwaveable, covered dish. Do not add water. Microwave cauliflower for 3 minutes and drain well.
Place the grated microwaved cauliflower and the above ingredients in a food processor. Pulse several times, then process until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with butter and garnish with chives, if desired. Serve hot.
Serves 6.

Clean Eating Recipe: Chicken, Green Bean, and Mushroom Soup
I made THE most delicious soup yesterday! It only took five minutes to make and clean-up was a breeze!
How’d I make it? I started by sauteing some mushrooms in coconut oil. Next, I added in some sliced up leftover cooked organic chicken breast that was seasoned with basil, garlic, and sea salt. Once the mushrooms were cooked and the chicken was slightly browned, I added in some cooked organic green beans and bone broth. I let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors meld together.
The results were incredible! It was satisfying and the flavor was divine! I heated up the leftovers for lunch today, and it was even better!

Clean Eating Recipe: Strawberries and Coconut Palm Sugar
If you’re looking for an easy, yet delicious dessert recipe, look no further! This delicious dessert can be prepared in a matter of minutes and only contains two ingredients – organic strawberries and organic palm sugar! Strawberries dipped in Coconut Palm Sugar. Both of these ingredients are fantastic on their own; combining them is a recipe for success!
This recipe is particularly useful for my patients that are in recovery for an eating disorder, since it doesn’t require much time in the kitchen…a place that can cause anxiety for those in early recovery.
As we discussed in an earlier blog post, organic coconut palm sugar has many health benefits, including:
- Palm sugar is non-GMO, 100% organic, and unrefined
- Palm sugar is rich in vitamins and amino acids
- Palm sugar has a low glycemic index
Strawberries are an antioxidant-rich food; they are ranked the 4th best fruit in terms of antioxidant capacity. As we talked about in my article about premature aging, antioxidants are a key element in slowing down the aging process. Antioxidant-rich foods also help in replenishing vitamins and minerals within the body, supporting the immune system, improving mental function, and restoring energy. These are all very common issues that my patients experience upon entering treatment for their eating disorder.
Eat Clean, Commit to be Fit, and Live Healthy! And of course….Bon Appetit!
