With being a stay-at-home mom, I really do not have time to do much research on ingredients. I was tired of going to the store, reading the nutrition label and seeing all the harmful ingredients that was in some of the sauces, canned items, and baking items. I wanted to make sure all my condiments, cereals, and baked goods were all clean and organic. That is when I discovered Thrive Market.

Importance of eating organic foods
This is something I find so important for us to know and how this can all be nutrient dense and healing to our bodies if we allow it.
My FIRST and the MOST IMPORTANT thing is to shop ORGANIC if you can. I know organic foods tend to be pricier but if you can afford it get it! Why?!
- Eating organic reduces the amount of chemicals in your diet. More often than not our foods are sprayed with pesticides that can cause a lot of health issues to our bodies such as cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, respiratory issues, neurological disorder and the list goes on.
- Eating organic is the best way to avoid GMO foods, ingredients and contamination. Not entirely sure what GMO is? GMO is genetically modified organism, which is a plant, animal, or microorganism that has had its DNA modified using genetic engineering.
- No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives are allowed in organic food.
- Organic food contains more vitamins, minerals, enzymes and micronutrients than conventionally raised food
- Eating organic can reduce your risk of cancer, diseases and other major health issues.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 Degrees.
- Combine all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
- Pour the ingredients into a 9×9 ceramic dish
- Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is a golden brown.
- Top with more peanut butter and serve with a delicious glass of milk for extra protein!
Variations
Different ways you can change this recipe up is by
- Instead of peanut butter and chocolate chips you could replace that for fruit like strawberries and blueberries!
Equipment
Here is some non-toxic equipment that I would suggest using to make this Easy Slow Cooker Pot Roast.
Storage
The storage containers I absolutely love are the Caraway Storage Containers. They are non-toxic, they seal up so well and they are just AMAZING.
I also like any type of glass storage containers on Amazon. You can store this in the refrigerator for up to 5 days!
