Green Pancakes {High Protein}

I love that this recipe only requires a blender to prepare the batter! I am all about saving time when making meals. These pancakes are great to make ahead and freeze for a healthy breakfast on the run during the week. I often make a batch on weekends and pre-bag them into servings for for my husband to grab…

Valentine Superfood Truffles {AKA post-workout protein power balls}

Besides just tasting good(I enjoy eating!), I believe that most of what I eat should serve a purpose. This recipe satisfies my post-workout recovery needs, but can also pass as a stunning treat. With the ingredients used, these qualify as nutritional wonders that are decadent enough to be dessert. Perfect for a Valentine’s day treat! Because…

Double Chocolate Chunk Protein Brownies!

Once upon a time, there was a recipe. I decided to play around with it (go figure). It’s not that it wasn’t good; I was just inspired to take it in a different direction. Fast forward a bit. One idea led to another…and to multiple experiments. #Recipe rabbit trail. This is one of those recipe…

New Quest Bar Flavor!

Just a quick post to say that I am super excited…because…I was able to get a box of these bad boys yesterday! They technically don’t even go on sale until tomorrow! I can’t wait to try one! I am already brainstorming recipes…. Maybe more protein truffles… (Update! We now have these!!) Honestly, I am surprised…

WIAW #2 + recipe

Snow cone!   So…no… that’s actually NOT part of my WIAW. Yes. That was a joke. Yes. I am a nerd. I live in Alabama…and we have snow. Which I am not so much used to. I am also not used to being confined indoors for this long except by choice. But, I get 3 PAID…

PB&J Sweet Potatoes (#StrangeButGood)

I am convinced that peanut butter and sweet potatoes were meant for each other! My hubby on the other hand… not so much. When I announced this, he gave me a look that I often get from others in reference to the foods I eat (#strangebutgood). Even if you don’t agree with me on the…

Pumped-Up Hummus (#StrangeButGood)

I am always looking for a way to get the most out of my time spent in meal prep. If I can prep one item and meet two needs, it is a real time saver! I came up with the idea for this recipe in an effort to give my hummus an extra “boost” of protein….

Easy PB2 Cheesecakes (High Protein + Low Calorie)

Holiday treats can be difficult to resist. Don’t get me wrong, I am an advocate of an occasional planned indulgence. The holidays are a time when favorite family recipes make it worth the splurge or two. But between family, work, and friends, the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s meals add up. You can easily get…

“Celestial” Spiced Apple Cider PROatmeal

I don’t usually get to eat “real” breakfasts(i.e. warm and involved) during the week. My typical weekday breakfast consists of a protein shake and another homemade protein muffin, bar, etc. That way, I can eat quickly before and after my workouts and still suit my macro needs. That being said, on the weekends, I usually…

{Bonus Recipe} Microwave Protein Scones!

I am super excited to share this recipe!! I have played with this recipe for some time now. It all started when I saw this post. I was inspired to make something similar, so I promptly defrosted some of my simple sweet potatoes, and went from there. For the first round, I stuck close to the…
