Healthy Peanut Butter Brownie Balls

I was going back and forth between naming these Peanut Butter Brownie Chews or Peanut Butter Brownie Balls. They are a spin off of the Raw Brownie Chews I made a few months back…but I added some peanut butter and formed them into balls! 

Healthy Peanut Butter Brownie Balls it is.

Sprinkled Peanut Butter Crunch Balls

Sprinkled Peanut Butter Crunch Balls

It should be a rule that Halloween falls on a weekend. On a Wednesday…REALLY?

I one, do not have plans yet for Halloween (other than work festivities) and two, do not have a costume. Last year I went as a crazy couponer and made a dress out of coupons and the year before I went as a 80’s fitness instructor. These were both day of decisions. 

Maybe I will host a Halloween Party and be a hostess. I’m pretty good at that. I’d be really good at making Halloween treats too!

Sprinkled Peanut Butter Crunch Balls

Like these peanut butter crunch balls rolled in Halloween Sprinkles! Gluten free and delicious! Festive too!

Sprinkled Peanut Butter Crunch

Ingredients

  • 2C Chex Cereal
  • 1/4C smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4C honey (or agave or brown rice syrup)
  • sprinkles!

How to make Sprinkled Peanut Butter Crunch Balls

  1.  Begin by crunching ~2C of Chex cereal into fine little pieces. I used a food processor, but you can do it by hand as well.
  2. Then, add the peanut butter and honey and mix-crunch-mix-crunch- mix! 
  3. Using your hands, take the mixture and compress it into a ball in your hands. I make sure my hands are wet (with water) so the mixture sticks together.
  4. Then, roll balls into Halloween colored sprinkles! 
  5. EAT.

How do you think I’d look as Richard Simmons? Would people get it?

I’d for sure need a wig.

I’m off to my grandmother’s funeral in Chicago for the next few days. May you all have an amazing, inspiring, fit foodie week!

Almond Butter Chews

by Leave a Comment

Almond Butter Chews

I had one of those aha moment early this AM. I was in the process of making some almond butter chews (aka Bird Food Balls), when I realized that I was having major issues with the balls falling apart. It’s the honey! It may seem sticky, but it doesn’t really do the job holding the balls together. 

Hello brown rice syrup.

Got 10 minutes? Whip up these healthy almond butter chews with just a few ingredients. Get creative with your add ins! Your options are endless.

Brown Rice Syrup really does do the trick. It keeps the balls nice and compact. I also like BRS because it doesn’t have such a powering flavor like honey does.

Got 10 minutes? Whip up these healthy almond butter chews with just a few ingredients. Get creative with your add ins! Your options are endless.

How to make Almond Butter Chews

  1. First melt your almond butter if it’s not drippy by placing it in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds.
  2. Then, transfer into a medium sized bowl and add brown rice syrup and mix.
  3. Add millet puffs and raisins and mix until it becomes one big almond chew.
  4. Taking about 1 tablespoon of “dough” into your hands, roll to form a ball. If you’re having trouble getting things to stick, add a bit more brown rice syrup 1 tablespoon at a time.
Got 10 minutes? Whip up these healthy almond butter chews with just a few ingredients. Get creative with your add ins! Your options are endless.

Viola…you have balls that do not crumble!

These are pretty much the perfect after workout snack: whole grains, healthy fats, and protein. I’ll take 10!

As my Papa Ray always says…3 cheers for the weekend…

Superfood Puff Balls

Superfood Puff Balls

Superfood Puff Balls

Want to know what I like about gift cards  It lets you buy that “thing,” that you just don’t want to spend your own money on for whatever reason. I helped a good friend out with some social media shenanigans and in return, he gave me a gift card to the Vitamin Shoppe. I’ve had my eye on Amazizing Grass Green Superfood Powder for a while, but didn’t want to spend the $25.00 bucks. Can you say cheap?

Well- I was actually afraid that I would spend the money and it was taste like…grass. Wrong. Get the chocolate version and it tastes like protein powder! I like this product because it is literally infused with vitamins and minerals. 

More specifically, “Chocolate Green SuperFood is our premium blend of superfoods with the great taste and benefits of cacao. Chocolate Green SuperFood supports body alkalinity, boosts energy and your immune system, and is gluten free.”

Good stuff for your body, especially if you can’t get in your daily servings of fruits/veggies. Throw this stuff in a smoothie and you are good to go! Or- you can add them to nut butter balls, like I did in this recipe.

Superfood Puff Balls

I took My Almond Butter Chew recipe and tweaked it slightly. 

Superfood Puff Balls

Really easy to make! The powder gave it a delicious chocolaty flavor. Believe me, this stuff tastes far from grass. I can’t stress that enough!

Single Serve Banana Cake

by Leave a Comment

Single Serve Banana Cake

Whenever I ask what kind of recipes you want to see more of, I almost always get Single Serve Recipes. Today’s recipe is kind of a reinvention of one I’ve already done. I altered it just a bit to make it more cakey instead of muffiny.

Single Serve Banana Cake

What I love about single serve recipes is the portion control. It’s hard for me to make a batch of muffins or cookies and “just have one.” Hence my love for single serve!

Ingredients

  • 3T gluten free flour
  • 3T unsweetened Silk almond milk
  • 3 inches of mashed nanner or roughly 1-2T mashed nanner
  • 1/2T earth balance, melted (to make dairy free, omit and use coconut oil)
  • 1/2t vanilla
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4t baking powder
  • 1T Dark Chocolate Chips (optional)

How to make Single Serve Banana Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 330F and spray ramekin with nonstick cooking spray. Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl and bake for 16-18 minutes.

While this recipe uses gluten free flour mix (instead of a whole grain), it doesn’t have any refined sugars! It really is a Fit Foodie Favorite.

On my agenda for this weekend is

  1. Go to bootcamp this morning at Lululemon in St. Paul!
  2. Prep a few more recipe posts for throughout the week.
  3. Pack for ski trip to Colorado!
  4. Meal plan for ski trip in Colorado to accomodate New Year New Rules habits.

Yay for weekends and travel!

These aren’t your ordinary doughnuts.

They’re packed with whole grains, all natural sugars, and chia power!

They’re FIT FOODIE DOUGHNUTS!

fit foodie doughnuts

I purchased a mini doughnut pan a few months ago while I was at TJ Maxx. It was on super clearance for $3.00. I’ve been meaning to make a real doughnut recipe, but nothing has really caught my eye (other than all of the drool worth photos Ashley’s posted).

On Sunday night, I began my baking fiasco with my mind set on a dense muffin. I wanted to make something that was a hearty snack, filling, and tasty topped with peanut butter

Peeling a pomegranate can be a royal pain…here are the directions I posted on the Anytime Health blog a while back

I took a bite out of one of the doughnuts and it reminded me of packman.  Nom. Nom. Nom.

Cheers to my first doughnut recipe experience(kinda). It won’t be my last!
