I love having a stash of energy bites in the freezer. They are packed with protein and have no added sugars, and are perfect for a quick snack. The boys love them in their lunch boxes as their "dessert" too. I've made lots of variations of these including oats, nuts, chocolate chips, dried fruit, etc. but these are a new-to-me, super easy recipe and I'm loving them!Easy DIY Protein Energy BitesMakes approx 32 bites / 1 bite per servingINGREDIENTS1/2 cup natural peanut butter1/2 cup natural Read More
Kid (And Baby) Approved Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie Recipe
My boys love a good smoothie! I whip them up not only for breakfast, but as part of lunch or even a snack. And although my kids are decent eaters, there is ALWAYS room to get in more veggies and protein each day. This smoothie has just that, giving me peace of mind they are getting some good nutrients in. We call it our peanut butter banana smoothie because that’s exactly what it tastes like (although it’s green from the spinach but that gives off zero taste!). Here is what we you’ll Read More

Donuts, waffles, cinnamon rolls, pastries- you name it. They are undoubtedly tasty, but don’t really provide any nutritional value. Total bummer. That said, I went on a quest to find a better alternative where I can still indulge without giving up my beloved baked goodness, and I found a Read More
Strawberry Banana Protein Pancakes with Chobani
I recently found this recipe from FitSugar featuring Strawberry Protein Pancakes. I love making breakfast on the weekend, and I wanted to fuel up before my long run, so this seemed like a perfect choice! Problem was, I didn’t have plain Greek yogurt, so I improvised a little bit. I recently came across Chobani Flips, which have a serving of yogurt and a side container of a mix-in. In this case, I had Banana with Dark Chocolate & Honey Roasted Salted Almonds. SUPER tasty stuff. Read More

We all know that protein is critical for everybody, but even more so for active individuals who are searching for what to drink and what to eat after a workout.
