This sweet potato turkey skillet is so easy. It’s the perfect dish when you aren’t in the mood to make a mess of your kitchen. “Wait you made all of this in one pan?” Thomas asked me after he quickly finished his first bowl. Yes! […]
If you like turkey burgers you will love these bad boys. Or maybe you wont because you’re a plain Jane, which is totally understandable, but these burgers are delicious. They are juicy and jam packed with flavor. If you’re interested in greek food or greek […]
Cranberry Lemon Bliss Balls has a nice ring to it, right? I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again I love making “balls.” You can pack so many awesome nutrients into one little dessert or snack. These specific ones aren’t really protein based, but they easily could be.
I love the combination of flavors between lemon and cranberry, so much zest! If I could have a cranberry lemon muffin right now I totally would. But these ball bites, were so good I can’t even complain.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
**I completely forgot to chop up my cranberries and they turned out just fine. But I’m sure they would be better if it was chopped.
***Also, I recommend adding in a scoop of protein to make them energy balls. I’m going to give it a try next time and I’ll let you know how they turn out.
If you don’t love cookie dough there is something seriously wrong with you. Rachel Mansfield does it again with an amazing recipe. She created these addicting crack bars, hence the name and why Thomas and I can’t get enough. They are so easy to make […]
My future mother-in-law is an absolute gem. She’s the reason these peanut butter oat balls were possible. I mean I’m sure I could’ve made them without the food processor that she bought me, but it made all the difference. I’ve been wanting a food processor […]
Energy balls and/or protein balls are hands down one of my favorite snacks to make for the week . My older sister Natalie introduced them to me a while back. She had the best name for them: “Natty Natty Pow Pow’s”. Natalie would just throw a bunch of ingredients together to make some killer balls. Any time she was home I would ask her to make a batch for me.
After eating them for the first time I was hooked. It was time I started making them without my sister’s help (even though her’s were always the best). I did some research and found a recipe for Pumpkin Spice energy balls, and since I love all things pumpkin spice, I gave them a try.
I’ve made so many different types of energy balls. Some contain a lot more protein than others, but either way they are the perfect snack to grab and go!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
**Note: If the mixture seems too wet feel free to add more ground flaxseed.
Also, if you want add protein powder to these feel free. I would suggest either a natural protein without any flavor or maybe a vanilla.
Energy Balls are a super simple way to get some extra nutrients throughout the day. You can throw whatever you want into the mix. My favorite ones to make are my dark chocolate, coconut, cranberry protein balls. They have healthy fats, protein, and lots of fiber!
Feel free to pair your energy balls with a yogurt bowl, a smoothie, or even some ice cream.
Let me know if you give these a go, and enjoy!
Guys! I found a better recipe for the spelt pancakes and this one I stand by. It’s way better than the other recipe. These pancakes are a lot more fluffy and just have a better texture in general. The other ones were okay, but the […]
I’m honestly confused with my tastebuds lately. If you’ve read any of my previous posts you know I’m all about savory in the morning. Growing up I was always the child that wanted eggs and toast. I remember going to this breakfast restaurant near our […]
Italians love there pasta, that’s just a fact. Being that I’m Italian, every now and then I crave pasta. Thomas and I were both in the mood for some healthy comfort food so I looked into a couple of different recipes.
The shrimp and spinach pasta dish popped out at me. It looked easy to make and it was packed with protein. So we decided to give it a try.

**Note: we kept the bacon in the skillet the entire time.
Enjoy!

Coconut Flour is my new best friend. These Coconut Flour Chocolate Chunk Bars are seriously off the charts. They are so moist and melt in your mouth. I would say they are the perfect combination of salty and sweet. I’m so excited to have found […]
