No joke, I have eaten this smoothie bowl for at least 5-7 days a week for the past 5 years. I look forward to it, I crave it, and I feel good about eating it! It is probably my most requested recipe, so I decided it deserves a permanent spot on my website. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Cori's Favorite Smoothie Bowl In your blender, add: 1 cup milk (I like almond or coconut personally!) handful of fresh spinach 1 banana (I like 1/2 fresh, 1/2 frozen...don't knock it til you try it!) 1 cup frozen blueberries 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (this is my GO TO!) Optional: I also add 1 scoop of Plexus Greens and 1 scoop of creatine Blend it up! Pour into a bowl and top with a serving of granola (Purely Elizabeth original is my FAVE), 1 Tbls of almond butter and fresh berries. Enjoy! XO

My kids have been loving a good granola bar these days, and for the most part, I feel like they are a decent snack option. Obviously I prefer to know what's in them, so I decided to make some at home, using ingredients I can feel good about! I added some mini chocolate chips and dye free sprinkles ... hence they are FUN Granola Bars! You know sprinkles make everything more fun :)
FUN Granola Bars! 2 cups gluten free rolled oats 1 cup crisp brown rice cereal 1/4 cup salted butter 1/3 cup honey 1/3 cup packed brown sugar 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 3 Tbls mini chocolate chips Dye free sprinkles (such as THESE!) Blend oats in blender or food processor - pulse gently!! - just until some pieces are still whole, some are ground and some are in between. Pour into a bowl and add crispy rice cereal and set aside. In a saucepan, melt butter and add honey and brown sugar. Heat and stir until the sugar is melted. Remove from the heat and add vanilla. Pour over oats and cereal and mix well. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper. Press the mixture into the pan firmly. I like to use another piece of parchment on top so my hands don't get sticky! Top with chocolate chips and sprinkles. Press gently so they stick. Cut into 12 bars and ENJOY! XO Per bar: 166 calories 26g carbohydrates 2g fiber 6g fat 3g protein (Feel free to add your own favorite mix ins and toppings!

Food is fuel.I love to cook and bake recipes that incorporate healthy whole foods and those nutritious macro and micronutrients into our daily diets. I also like to make treats though, because let's face it, everyone loves a good sweet now and then! My favorite part about cooking, though, is sharing my latest recipes with others. ENJOY!
