Have your coffee and breakfast too! Make this salted caramel frappe for a delicious, paleo-friendly breakfast made with frozen banana, coffee, and homemade caramel!

This is definitely a Friday-worthy recipe. Coffee + salted caramel. YES PA.LEASE.

I have been without a blender or food processor for a couple of weeks now (they both broke within the same week :/) and I finally got myself one that does both. Ohhhhh goodness have I been without smoothies for too long!

This delicious smoothie is made with Lexi’s Clean Kitchen’s paleo-friendly homemade caramel. I could have drank that stuff straight from the stovetop  It’s extremely easy to make and you only need a few simple ingredients.

Inside the rest of the frappe are all my favorite things…

  • frozen banana
  • coffee
  • Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Almond Milk
  • vanilla extract (or vanilla bean if you’re going big:)

The thing I love about this frappe is that it’s your breakfast and coffee in one! Cuz who doesn’t love killing two birds with one stone.

Looking to meal prep the most delicious breakfast on the planet? Make this Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Bake and top it with fresh bananas and a drizzle of PB!

Is it bad that I sometimes base friendships off of the foods people like and dislike? For example…if you like peanut butter, I automatically like you. If you like olives…you’re going to have to work really hard to make me like you. Honestly – my biggest fear in life is that my children are either going to despise peanut butter or worse off, be allergic to it. Unfortunately I’d be there mother and HAVE to deal with that. #firstworldproblems

The good thing is that I haven’t met many people who voluntarily don’t like peanut butter. It’s the food of the gods if you ask me

This oatmeal bake combines all of my favorite breakfast ingredients.

  • oats
  • banana
  • peebs

Can’t go wrong with that combo, people. Is it sad that I feel like my day is incomplete if I haven’t eaten oatmeal with banana and peanut butter? Nope, not sad at all. If I switch up my breakfast to something savory, I’ll most likely get my oatmeal fix for lunch or dinner. Sorrynotsorry

Can we talk about the ripeness of bananas for a hot second?

Not too green, not too brown…just right. I like my bananas perfectly yellow. That’s IF I’m eating the banana by itself or on top of something. Anyone who says they like green bananas is just…FILLINTHEBLANK. I heard that if you eat eat a green banana…you can straight up eat the peel, too. No idea if that’s true or not, but it is Friday so I thought I’d share that fun fact. When it comes to extremely ripe bananas…I gag at the thought of eating it on it’s own. I don’t want chewed up banana fed to me by a mother bird. However, when it comes to mashing an overly ripe banana for sweetness in baked goods or smoothies….I’M ALL FOR IT.

Healthy Buffalo Chicken Recipe

At just 150 calories, 1g carb, and 2g fat per serving, this Healthy Buffalo Chicken is packed with protein and super easy to make!

At just 150 calories, 1g carb, and 2g fat per serving, this Healthy Buffalo Chicken is packed with protein and super easy to make!

This is one of those recipes that has been waiting in the queue for like 3 months. 3 MONTHS…I KNOW. That’s way too long for a recipe to be sitting all by its lonesome and not in the internets. Especially this one!

Buffalo chicken seems to be a crowd favorite. I didn’t start liking the good ol’ “buffalo” flavor, until I realized it wasn’t actually that bad for you. ON ITS OWN. What is bad for you…is that crazy buffalo chicken cheese dip shiz people eat during the Super Bowl. I may have witnessed that being made once…and what. the. hell. people. There’s like 4 different variations of cheese in that dip.

This buffalo chicken has way less ingredients and TASTES WAY BETTER. 🙂 Actually, it doesn’t have any cheese in it so I’m not sure that is even a good comparison. What it does have is only 3 ingredients!

  • Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
  • Nonfat Greek Yogurt
  • Franks Red Hot

I’m pretty confident that with spicy foods, you burn more calories trying to eat it than the actual caloric value of the food. That’s what I tell myself, anyways…

I swear to you this will be the best buffalo chicken you ever eat. I’ve made it a handful of times since inception and it gets better EVERY TIME. I used Franks Red Hot, but you’re more than welcome to use your favorite hot sauce or even sriracha. As always- you can measure your own heat. Mixing the hot sauce and the yogurt actually tames things down….so if you want more spice, add more hot sauce, and if you want less, add more yogurt.

This buffalo chicken is very versatile. You can eat it on a cracker, by itself, on some toast, in a wrap, with a chip. GET CREATIVE PEOPLE.

If you know Linley at all…you know she LOVES toast and she LOVES arugula. I’m actually not sure love is a strong enough word for the emotions she feels for those two foods. We plated our Healthy Buffalo Chicken between 2 pieces of toast along with some fresh arugula, apple slices, and a drizzle of olive oil.

YAS.

IT’S THE LAST DAY OF MAY. I HOPE YOU MAKE IT A GOOD ONE!

healthy dessert shooters

healthy dessert shooters

I am totally that person that “needs something sweet after dinner.” No, I don’t actually need it, but I’ve wired my brain to “need” it. I’d love to eat a huge bowl of ice cream every single day, because that is my guilty pleasure. However- ice cream and other high-sugar desserts doen’t make me feel the greatest, so try (key word) and keep those to special occasions.

These shooters are the perfect amount of sweet for me and definitely satisfy my after dinner sweet tooth!

shooters1

The nice thing about these shooters, is that you’re almost guaranteed to have all of the ingredients on hand: Greek yogurt + berries + granola. Any flavor of each ingredient works…options are endless!

Healthy Dessert Shooters

Ingredients

  • 1/4 c nonfat greek yogurt (I use plain + a little bit of honey)
  • 1/4 c homemade granola, I used Apricot Coconut Granola (or store bought granola – My favorite is Healthy Grains)
  • 1/4 blackberries

Method
In a small cup or jar, layer each ingredient twice. EAT.

A little secret about this cup…it’s actually a beer flight cup. Can you believe Target was selling these little glass cups in the dollar section? SCORE! I’ll take 2.

2 questions for you: 1. What is your guilty pleasure dessert? 2. What is your favorite healthy dessert? 

I actually wrote this post about a week ago and in that time something really out of the blue happened. I got a call from SHARK TANK. Yes, THE Shark Tank on ABC. About 8 months ago there was a Shark Tank marathon on and I watched like 4 episodes in a row. It sparked me to do something very in the moment and spontaneous (very unlike me) and submit an idea.

I never ever thought I would get a call back from them let alone the chance to move on to the video submission round. I have 1-2 weeks to hit about 15 points in a 5 minute video that I have to send to ABC as the second part of my submission.

I bet you are dying to find out what I pitched. It’s funny because I had to search through my sent mail to find out what exactly I pitched because it was so long ago. I actually pitched my Energy Balls as a product idea because at the time, that’s when I was going crazy with those recipes. If you are a new FFF reader…here’s what I am referring to…

So where am I on the freaking out scale? pretty much an 11 out of 10. First of all, I know the first question the Sharks would ask me is how many balls have you sold and how much money have you made off them?

That’s the catch, I don’t have a current Energy Ball business. I look at my business (or potential) as the brand I have created: Fit Foodie Finds. The way I make money is through AdRev…by driving more people to my site through the content I create. To take Fit Foodie to the next level, I would create a product line of energy balls. These would be manufactured and sold on my website. A lot more would go into the this proposal, as well as money. Once I nail things down I will definitely share them with you in a more organized manner 

I have an entrepreneurial spirit and have always wanted to be a small business owner. But- if I ever did get on Shark Tank, I know I would need a twist. Do I sell a product or do I sell a brand. I could talk your ear off about this whole thing…so here I am. I guess I just wanted to give you guys a heads up! A lot of you have been readers for a really long time and without you, I never would have submitted an idea.

All in all- I don’t really care if I get on the show or not. I just think it is an honor to be recognized with a potential good business idea.

That is all Happy Friday!

coconut chocolate energy balls

coconut chocolate energy balls

Nothing like waking up before 6AM on a Sunday morning. I just can’t sleep. All I’ve been thinking about is balls and the future of Fit Foodie Finds! I was hoping to have some sort of business planned worked out this weekend, but I don’t want to rush things. I want to give my mind a little bit of time to settle in with this whole Shark Tank thing!

coconut chocolate energy balls

In my early awakening yesterday, I decided to create a new ball recipe, of course. 

I call them Coconut Chocolate Energy Balls. Can you guess what’s in them? This recipe makes about 10-11 balls, definitely 10 if you’re like me and have to test the batter

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quick cooking oats —> turned into flour
  • 1/4 cup almond butter, unsalted
  • 1/4 cup brown rice syrup
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips, melted

How to make coconut chocolate energy balls

  1. Using a small food processor, process oats for about 20 seconds or until it turns into oat flour. Then, add in cocoa powder and coconut flakes and pulse a few times.
  2. Next, add in rest of ingredients and process until everything is mixed. If it looks like your dough is a little too dry, add a few tablespoons of water. That should do the trick!
  3. Last, using a small cookie scoop, form dough into balls. Then, heat dark chocolate chips for 45 seconds and stir. Transfer melted chocolate into a plastic bag and cut the tip off the back. Drizzle chocolate over balls. Garnish with dried coconut shavings.
coconut chocolate energy balls

You can’t go wrong by adding more chocolate to something that’s already made with chocolate 

I’ve been doing much better when it comes to eating the balls I make in moderation. Sometimes it’s hard to “just have one,” but I have been working hard on my intuitive eating. One ball is around 100 calories and that’s for me, it’s the perfect after lunch or dinner treat!
