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. 

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!

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.

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.

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!

I am totally a stickler for blended coffee drinks. I Lo.ove frappuccinos, but I know they are loaded with sugar and other “stuff.” This recipe seriously tastes exactly like a Mocha Frappuccino, but has 18g whey protein and NO added sugar.

For you blended coffee drinkers, this recipe will change your life! Here are a few photos of this beautiful drink. Scroll all the way down to the bottom for some workout talk.

 It’s been a while since I’ve updated you on what my daily workouts have been consisting of. Let me start off by saying…it’s been a LONG winter. I remember last year, we had a very mild winter with little snow and the temperatures were bearable. I ran outside all winter…because I could. This winter was very different: lots of snow and harsh temperatures…not to mention LONG. Just last week we got 8 inches of snow (IN MAY).

I probably ran a total of 7 times either inside or outside in the past 6 months and that is not an exaggeration. Lately my workouts have been quick and efficient. I’ve been really into 30 minute body-weight circuits and Insanity. Right now I am teaching Yoga Sculpt 3 days a week and usually I count that as my daily workout (which is not good because obviously I do not do the entire class with my students). I look at yoga sculpt as cardio because we use very light weights, but do high repetitions. I try and lift heavy twice a week, but it is more like once…and that’s on the weekend. So, as you can see- things are pretty sporadic when it comes to my workouts. I am looking forward to warmer weather so I can get some consistant running back into my life! Here is what I am shooting for this summer:

  • Run 2x per week (At least 4 miles)
  • Lift 2x per week (Upper and Lower body)
  • (On the days I…)Teach Yoga Sculpt 3x per week + a 20/30 minute circuit
  • Yoga 2x per week

I usually try and have 1 day where I do not do anything strenuous, so a light vinyasa is ideal. So 6 days of workout and 1 day of rest. I know the above calculations do not add up to 7 and that is because sometimes I double up. Some days I lift during my lunch hour and then at night Blake and I will go to yoga, etc.

What does your workout routine look like?

Banana Sushi recipe

If you’re a mom or dad (or just a big kid) looking for a healthy, fun snack for the kids, you’re going to love this banana sushi made with a perfectly ripe banana, your favorite nut butter, and crunchies on top! 

Banana Sushi recipe

WOOOOOOOO. I think I’m finally losing my high from the past weekend. HOLY MAN was that a whirlwind. Not only did we launch a business, but we did it over the holiday season, which is more difficult than it looks! Yes, I worked on Christmas and yes I worked on New Years, but it was worth ever second of it. I am so happy Mark was able to be in Minneapolis this past weekend because guess what? We celebrate our one year anniversary! We decided that we have a two day anniversary – December 31st and January 1st…because they just go together.

While I worked a lot over the holidays, I was able to spend some real quality time with Mark. As you know, we are doing the distance thing so when we see each other it feels like we have to rush through all of the “couple’s stuff.” I was with Mark for almost two week straight and it felt so good to do normal couple things like actually watch netflix, workout together, and figure out what to do when the other one had to work. I am excited to venture into 2017 knowing that we will soon be living in the same city.

NOW- it’s BANANA SUSHI TIME. 

I know you’ve eaten banana sushi before. You may not have called it banana sushi and it may not have looked this presentable, but it was banana sushi!

  • banana
  • nut butter
  • crunchies
  • freeze
  • slice

…in that order! In this particular recipe I used my Homemade Maple Cinnamon Peanut Butter. If you haven’t ever made your own nut butter, make it a 2017 resolution. It’s so easy! This is also a great recipe to 1. learn how to use chop sticks and 2. strengthen your hand muscles. Those little banana slices are slippery little bastards

These high protein Brookie Protein Balls are the perfect post-workout snack, or simply a healthy option to munch on throughout the day. They’re gluten free and vegan, too! 

Brownie Cookie Dough Swirl Protein Balls

I don’t think I’ve ever renamed a recipe more than I have this one.

Swirl, mash, smash, choconilla, vachocolate (sounds kind of Rated R), balls, bites, zebra, yin yang, black and white.

What evz you want to call it, these balls are delish! I have a new recipe partnership with The Daily Burn coming up over the next few months, and they sent me some of their new protein powder. It’s called Fuel-6. It’s plant-based, gluten free, and vegan. I’m excited to continue using this product in recipes! WHOOOP

Speaking of new. I started a new series on Netflix…Dexter. AKA I am afraid to sleep at night because I feel like someone is watching me.

Brownie Cookie Dough Swirl Protein Balls

There is no way in hell I would watch an episode without Blake by my side. I am the biggest whimp and hate being scared.

Like hate!

So these balls, yo.

Brownie Cookie Dough Swirl Protein Balls
  • chocolate protein powder
  • oat flour
  • cocoa powder
  • almond butter
  • maple syrup
  • almond milk
  • vanilla protein powder
  • maple syrup

You know when you can’t decide between vanilla and chocolate. That’s when you mix em together so that you can get the best of both worlds. 

Brownie Cookie Dough Swirl Protein Balls

I almost always store my balls in the freezer. I find they keep longer, plus I prefer my balls frozen. 

This is the issue with having “balls” be part of a recipe. Every time I try to explain my love for them, I sound like a perv

BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLS.

I don’t want this week to end. EVER. I almost told myself I was sick of making balls, but then I realized I wasn’t and just needed a 5 minute break from the food processor. 

Over the past few weeks I’ve been attempting to limit myself to 2 balls a day, but sometimes that’s been a HUGE fail. AKA I don’t want to make dinner, so I shall just eat balls. 

Need a post workout snack that’s made with real ingredients and loaded with protein? Make these high-protein mint chip energy balls for a guilt-free treat!

This ball recipe is made from an almond/oatmeal base. There’s no dates involved, but lots of chocolate and protein! 

I used Daily Burn’s Fuel-6 Plant Based Chocolate Protein Powder for this. Since this is a no-bake recipe, I’m going to say that any kind of protein powder will work, but don’t quote me! Each protein powder is different, meaning that the absorption rate is different. You may need to add more oat flour or more almond butter depending on the kind of protein powder you use! Also, each protein powder has a different amount of added sweetener, so just be mindful of that, as well.
