You know when you throw together a recipe without measuring one thing? Well this is that recipe! I will give you the measurements of what I “eyeballed” but you can definitely tweak it to your liking!

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cup gluten free oats
  • 1 tbs carob powder
  • 1/2 scoop Vega vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tbs flax meal
  • 1 tbs chia seeds
  • 2 tbs sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup crushed almonds
  • 2 tbs unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup organic peanut butter
  • Small handful of Enjoy Life dairy free small chocolate chips 

Directions:

Mix all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then mix in all of the wet ingredients. Like I said before, I didn’t measure so you may need to add a little more maple syrup or a drop of water so it’s not too dry. Roll into small balls and then coat them in coconut flakes. 

Place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet in the freezer for 2 hours and then transfer to freezer safe container. 

Enjoy!

It’s a beautiful day, and I was craving a Greek salad. Instead, I threw together what I had in my fridge and pantry and came up with this meal. And, as I’m chopping the veggies, they just so happened to form a heart! This recipe makes enough so you can eat it for lunches during the week too!

Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa, cooked according to package

1 can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained

3/4 cucumber seeded and chopped

1 1/2 cups of tomatoes cut in half

1/2 cup kalamata olives, sliced

1/2 cup roasted red peppers, chopped

Juice of 1 lemon

4 tbs olive oil

Red wine vinegar

Himalayan sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Cook the quinoa according to the package. Chop all your veggies and have them ready on a cutting board and rinse and drain the chickpeas. Once quinoa is done cooking, transfer to a large bowl and stir it with 2 tbs of olive oil and some salt and pepper. Once the quinoa mixture is room temperature (takes about 15-20 min to cool) then stir in all the veggies and chickpeas. Add the remaining 2 tbs of olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, red wine vinegar to taste and salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
