My THM-Friendly recipe for Pear Butter is simple to make, sugar-free, and will help your home smell delicious. I used to make Acorn Squash bread and apple butter for Thanksgiving each year. This year, I decided to make healthy alternatives, and I went with pear butter instead of apple butter because it’s what I had on hand. You could use different kinds of fruit with this recipe. Consider trying it with apples and/or plums!
Pears are nutritious. This fruit is in season in Autumn, high in fiber, and good for your heart health. You can learn more on Healthline.com .
It’s a healthy carb source. If you spread some of this on a slice of soured or sprouted bread you’ll be getting just the right amount of carbs for a Trim Healthy Mama E meal. Just have a protein drink or some other lean protein on the side.
THM-Friendly E Recipe for Pear Butter
Ingredients:
12 pears roughly cut into chunks (don’t bother peeling them)
1 cup water
¼ tsp. Pure Stevia Extract Powder
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1 tsp. Cinnamon
½ tsp. Nutmeg
½ tsp. Cloves
Place all of the ingredients in a pot or crockpot and cook on low until the pears are very soft. After that, let the mixture cool before blending it in a blender. Use immediately or store it in the fridge. This goes great on soured, soaked or sprouted bread! I’ve also added it to oatmeal.

Imagine licking a creamy peach popsicle on a hot Summer day while also meeting your protein goals and working towards your goal weight. My THM-Friendly Peaches and Cream Popsicle recipe will help you do just that. I love finding cheap and easy Trim Healthy Mama friendly recipes for my husband and I. My goal is for it to be easy to eat healthy for an affordable price and in a delicious way. This is the second recipe in my Summer Peach series. You can find my peach sauce recipe here, and keep an eye out for my upcoming high-protein peach cobbler hack!
When we had a week of extreme heat and humidity, I knew we needed a frozen high-protein snack. So I took inspiration from the Trim Healthy Mama Cottage Berry Whip recipe and changed it up to create a high-protein popsicle. Depending on the size of your popsicle mold each popsicle should have close to 12 or 13g of protein each. So you’ll really need to eat 2 (oh, darn 😉 ) for a complete snack or add another source of protein. And don’t worry, if you don’t have a popsicle mold I’ll provide an alternative for you.
Benefits of the Peaches and Cream Popsicles
If you have two, they meet an ideal protein goal of 25g. Protein is essential because it’s what helps your body keep and build muscle. Without muscle, your body can’t burn fat, and overall health quickly goes downhill. The fact that it contains this much protein makes it a Trim Healthy Mama Friendly Recipe that’s up-to-date with the plan’s new Wisdom ways.
They’ll cool you off. Nothing’s better than something frozen on a hot summer day!
They’re quick and easy to make ahead. One batch should make enough for almost a week’s worth of afternoon snacks. It should take less than 5 minutes to make the popsicles and a few hours for them to freeze.
Peaches have benefits. According to healthline.com, peaches are full of antioxidants. They can help improve heart health, prevent cancer, and improve your skin.
It’s a carb meal, yay! Good, healthy carbs are so important. Especially for us women. Ideally, half or more of our meals should contain good carbs (so not white bread or sugar, no, no, no).
THM-Friendly E Recipe for Peaches and Cream Popsicles
Put all of the ingredients (except for the peach sauce) in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour into a popsicle mold*. You can add a spoonful of Summer Peach Sauce to each popsicle for a syrup-y core (optional). Freeze popsicles until solid.
Enjoy!
Makes 5 servings of 25g of protein each. It will probably make more popsicles than that. For example, if it makes 10 popsicles then 2 popsicles make one complete high-protein snack.
*Alternative to a popsicle mold: Pour into several glass jars leaving 2 inches of open space at the top of each jar. Cover with plastic wrap and then put the jars in the freezer. When made this way, a jar should be pulled out of the freezer about half an hour before trying to eat it. It will be more like a smoothie than a popsicle.

I’ve been experimenting lots since picking up several bags of fresh peaches.
Benefits of the Summer Peach Sauce
It’s sugar-free and uses a natural sweetener alternative. Instead of sugar this recipe calls for stevia. Stevia is a natural sweetener that comes from a plant. My family actually used to have a stevia plant in our garden! So despite rumors flying around about this sweetener, I believe it’s a much safer alternative to many of the artificial sweeteners out there. See this page to learn more about it!
