Easy Chocolate and Coconut Butter Energy Balls

April 26, 2017 By Erin 4 Comments

Easy Chocolate and Coconut Butter Energy Balls – easy to make and incredibly healthy, these energy bites taste like a little bite of gooey brownie dough and can be rolled in either matcha, coconut, cocoa or maca powder!

Are you guys thinking what I am thinking? Cause I am thinking I want to eat up that entire bowl of energy balls.

Who doesn’t love a good energy ball – right? These are my new favorite snack and soon-to-be favorite breakfast. They are packed (and I mean packed) with so many amazing ingredients and really do taste like brownie dough. (maybe I should have called these “Easy Chocolate Brownie Dough Energy Bites”…) Grab a couple as you are running out the door in the morning or take to work for your mid-afternoon snack – maybe even pop one when you get home from work to stave off those pre-dinner snacking urges. But be careful… stopping at just one may be difficult….

Oatmeal + Superfood Breakfast Bowl

April 20, 2017 By Erin 2 Comments

Oatmeal Superfood Breakfast Bowl – the perfect way to start your day is with this nutrient, superfood-packed bowl of warm and healthy goodness.

This bowl is amazing, you guys. All I wanted to do was jazz up my boring bowl of oatmeal. It escalated. Into something freakin amazing. Yes, that is chocolate you see there (where is the rule that says you can’t put chocolate on your oatmeal). Plus, when you have all that other perfectly healthy goodness, what’s wrong with sprinkling a little chocolate-o-lat on top. In fact, I am going to argue that “healthy” includes a little indulgence. It doesn’t have to always be spinach and kale. ….. Okay, that got a little off-topic. My point is, this bowl is my perfect little bowl of healthy goodness, chocolate included, and I am pumped to share it with you guys!

Vegan Chocolate Donuts + Pink Beet Coconut Butter Cream Frosting

April 14, 2017 By Erin 1 Comment

Vegan Chocolate Donuts + Pink Beet Coconut Butter Cream Frosting – absolutely delicious version of your favorite breakfast item that is flavored and colored with the wonderfully nutritious and bright beets!

Okay whoa. Yes, these are vegan. No, I have “become vegan” overnight . Yes, I also provide alternatives in the recipe if you don’t want to use coconut butter in your frosting cause hey, real butter-cream frosting is flipping amazing and if that is what you want on your donut – by all means – do what the heart wants.

All that being said, there are certain times where I love having vegan options and I just feel better when I eat that way (hello – milk allergy here). So, there may be some more experimenting on the blog in the coming months with more vegetarian/vegan options. With a fair amount of delicious recipes featuring all different sort of proteins. Don’t worry!

Healthy Avocado and Cheese ‘Samich on Sourdough + Spicy Siracha Mayo is the perfect way to “spice” up your next meatless meal!

Say hello to my new favorite ‘samich – Healthy Avocado and Cheese on Sourdough + Spicy Siracha Mayo. If the good’ole turkey and cheese just isn’t cuttin it anymore – I have the answer to your lunchtime blues. The avocado and creamy havarti cheese just meld together into a realm of perfectly creaminess, with the cucumber adding a bit of crunch and the spinach and broccoli sprouts are a hidden healthy benefit that you don’t even know you are eating because of the INSANELY good spicy siracha mayo. Place it all on some delicious sourdough bread and you will be in ‘samich heaven my friend. You won’t even realize it happens to be vegetarian…..

Brown Rice Tofu Bowl + Roasted Vegetables and Soy, Ginger, Garlic Sauce

January 12, 2017 By Erin 2 Comments

Brown Rice Tofu Bowl + Roasted Vegetables and Soy, Ginger, Garlic Sauce is a filling, healthy option for lunch or dinner!

My antidote for the winter blahs this year is plain and simple – healthy food that leaves you feeling energized and not bogged down with weird, processed ingredients. Here in Minnesota, we are in the dredges of a freezing cold, grey, dark winter. The dog days of winter, if you will. It’s not pretty guys. Today, as I was sitting in my office, I was so glad to see the sun that I refused to tilt my blinds, regardless of the fact that I was essentially blinding myself and barely able to work. I didn’t care. It felt like I hadn’t seen the sun in about a month and I was not about to reject it. I mean, that’s how bad it is. I willingly blinded myself in order to try and soak up some Vitamin D. You can see why I need to at least eat bright colors, because outside it is white and grey. This Brown Rice Tofu Bowl is just the thing to snap you out of those doldrums. It is bright, healthy and incredibly filling!

November 14, 2016 By Erin Leave a Comment

Soy Ginger Soba Noodles + Avocado and Edamame is a simple yet flavor-packed vegetarian noodle bowl that is full of nutrients and protein.

Do I have permission to take a quick breather from all of the Thanksgiving-themed goodies and side dishes to talk about these amazingly yummy Soy Ginger Soba Noodles?! I love turkey and stuffing as much as the next lady, but holy cannoli batman, it is everywhere! I just need a minute to collect my bearings and make a normal, everyday recipe for a sec. You guys with me? Whew. Good. Because these are so awesome. If you love soy sauce (yes, me!) and noodles (oooh, also me!) as well as edamame, avocado and cilantro (me, me and also me) then holy hannah, you are going to love these. You can prep most of this ahead of time and eat it for lunch or dinner.
