THINGS I’M LOVING LATELY – ACTIVE TRAVEL STYLE Yo hey der friends (at least that’s what we say in Minnesota). Today’s post has been a long one in the making! As you know- I love and cherish going on active vacations because 1. I can’t sit still for longer than an hour and 2. it’s just what I’ve always done. I’d much rather be canoeing or hiking than laying on a beach (don’t get me wrong, I like this too!). Over the years I’ve collected and used products products during my active travel that make life SO MUCH BETTER. Thought I’d…
Have you ever thought about how versatile oats are? Whether you prefer old fashioned rolled oats, quick oats, or steel cut oats, there are so many different ways to use oats. We love using oats here on Fit Foodie Finds! We love overnight oat recipes, stove top oatmeal, baked oatmeal, and we even use rolled oats
ALMOND JOY BALLS That is without the bad-for-you-ingredients and chocolate. Oh my gosh I forgot the chocolate. Yes yes, chocolate usually makes everything better, but I opted to leave it out of these balls for a healthier treat. My chocolate consumption has been off the wall lately. These Almond joy balls are made with 3 ingredients: pitted dates, raw almonds, and unsweetened coconut. t really doesn’t need much more than that. Not even honey or agave because dates are so sweet to begin with. For a true almond joy ball, you could add some dark chocolate! ALMOND JOY BALLS Ingredients Method *Note: Feel…
HIGH PROTEIN STRAWBERRY MINUTE MUFFIN I received a question on yesterday’s post asking how much protein powder I’d recommend adding to the minute muffin. Well, I was curious myself so decided to give it a try! 1/2 a scoop it is! I used Strawberry Protein Powder, hence the name. I also added a few more drops of liquid stevia and left the chia seeds out, rather sprinkling them on top! High Protein Strawberry Minute Muffin Method I use GNC’s Strawberry whey protein powder, but in all honestly I don’t recommend it. BIG BIG fan of their chocolate flavor though. So if anyone has a favorite…
BANANA BREAD MINUTE MUFFIN Let’s cut to the chase. 3 Ingredients. 2 Steps. 1 Minute.

FALL SPICED GRANOLA Hip Hip HOOORayy for fall! Seriously, I am loving the fall colors in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Here’s some photos from yesterdays run…I even saw a wild turkey! When I got home from my run, I was in one of those moods….a BAKING MOOD. Sometimes I just get the itch to create! Other times, I’m like “do I really want to destroy the kitchen and then spend a half an hour wiping everything down and making it spick and span?” Well…my run inspired me to get some fall flavors in the air. Lone behold…. I used pretty simple ingredients,…
