Vegan Chai Granola

This past summer, I had the amazing opportunity to get my yoga teacher certification through a one month course at the Sivananda Yoga Ashram in the Bahamas. I felt like I had prepared pretty well for the month (waking up a little earlier, practicing yoga every day), but, wow, was I wrong. We woke up…

Mint Chocolate Chip Smoothie (with Hidden Veggies)

A quick, yummy smoothie with a serving of greens 🙂

Almond Butter Chia Bars

Vacation time! The slower (yet still very busy) part of my summer is over, and from now on is pretty go go go, and the go go go-ing. I’m typing this on a boat on my way to Canada from Seattle. Yay, airports. Traveling. New places. Always tons of vegan options, right? And all fairly…

Paleo Vegan Almond Butter Cups

What’s better than a Reese’s peanut butter cup? Probably a lot of things. A million dollars. The ability to shapeshift. A sense of purpose in life. So, probably a lot of things. But this recipe is also one of those things. So let’s try again. What’s better than a Reese’s peanut butter cup? How about…

Homemade Almond Butter

You already know how much I loooooooooooove peanut butter. There are very few things I love more than peanut butter: dogs, coffee, my family, my boyfriend, chocolate… okay, maybe there are quite a few things. But you get the point. And most of those things can be improved with peanut butter. If you put a…

These are also super simple to make: Ingredients:  one batch of protein cookie dough 1 tsp cinnamon 2 tsp coconut sugar Mix in about half…

Protein Cookies: Double Peanut Butter Cookies

As promised, I am back with another variation of my homemade protein cookies. And these are my favorite! I looooooove peanut butter cookies so much, and while I can usually justify eating an entire batch of my favorite recipe by telling myself that it has protein… I really shouldn’t. This recipe, however, has 6 grams of…

Protein Cookies

Sugar is my weakness. I have always had such a sweet tooth- more like a sweet set of dentures. I can eat an entire row of Oreos without even thinking. But apparently, that’s “not healthy”… I also need to eat more protein. Up until recently, I tried to eat around 50 grams of protein- essentially…

Lazy Berry Smoothie

This is super simple to make (kind of a cheat recipe, if we’re being honest) and has tons of vitamins; this is a great way to start the day or as a sweet dessert.  I have just finished my first semester of college, and I’m exhausted. Exhausted and a little chubby. Not chubby, honestly, but…
