Energy Bites

No Bake Energy Bites! I was introduced to these energy balls of goodness through Pinteret and I’m addicted! 🙂 Not only are they easy to make but they are healthy too, gotta love that.
Ingredients
1 cup of dry oatmeal
2/3 cup of sweetened or toasted coconut flake
1/2 cup of peanut butter (I used homemade peanut butter/ I made in a previous post or you can substitute almond butter)
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup of chocolate chips (optional or you can substitute dry fruit)
1/3 cup of honey (caution to using agave, honey keeps the balls together)
1 tsp of vanilla
Stir all the ingredients together in a bowl. Let chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Once, chilled roll into balls and store in an air tight container. It’s a guiltless treat that will fix any sugar cravings you may have. Enjoy!

Peach Protein Oatmeal

I dressed up my oatmeal this morning with a breakfast high in protein and a peach! Quick, Easy, Tasty, and falls under the category of protein foods! Follow the instructions on the oatmeal container 3/4 cups of oats and 1 cup of water (I added an additional 1/4 cup of water I like the consistency), 1 scoop of protein, and a splash of orange extract. Heat for 2 minutes in microwave. Drizzle with honey and top with a peach! 🙂

Honey Glazed Salmon

I’m a fan of fish especially Sea Bass and Black Cod (MY FAVS) but my third choice is Salmon! I like salmon smoked, cooked, canned, all kinds of different ways! It’s a nutritious fish high in protein, and “good fats” and one of my favorite ways to serve salmon is by creating this simple glaze below:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
1/4 cup of honey
2 tbsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp melted butter
salt & pepper
sprinkle with pecans
Salt & Pepper Salmon. Mix the fist 3 ingredients in a bowl. Coat glaze on top of Salmon. Sprinkle with pecans. Pop in oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with roasted asparagus or veggie of choice. The glazes sweet taste combined with flavor of the fish is INCREDIBLE!

Protein Pancakes

Protein Pancakes! Now you can eat a pancake and get your protein all in one. First you take the ingredients below…Quaker Oats, Honey, Orange Extract, Protein, & Egg Whites

Now you mix in a bowl
3/4c of Oats
1tbsp of Honey
1tsp of Orange Extract
1 scoop of Protein
1c of Egg Whites.
Spray pan heavily with pam cooking spray. Pour mixture in bowl into pan and let cook on medium high eat until golden brown then flip.
Once cooked on both sides I take a drinking glass and cut out perfectly round pancakes for presentation as in the picture. Although, you can eat the whole pancake. I then drizzled with syrup of choice and eat! Healthy and delicious!
