Of Course It's Too Good To Be True!
By now you know all about my love of all nuts and nut butters. So then of course it should come as no surprise that when I saw this product "Peanut Spread" I was so excited to try it out. I mean look at that label..... It has all the Bikini Baking Lady's (BBL) favorite things. "Natural, Fresh Roasted Peanut Flavor, Sugar Free, Fat Free, Calorie Free"! I mean come on! It's like a bikini dream! So I bought this product along with my favorite "Dark Chocolate Dreams" and regular, natural kid friendly peanut butters.
After quickly putting my groceries away I was so excited to pop this puppy open and take a big lick of it. Boy was I immediately disappointed. It tasted like poorly flavored miracle whip. Gross, nasty, get off my tongue, sick! It's such a bummer to me because I thought I had a BBL way to eat my peanut butter in larger quantities without it showing in my bikini. Alas, peanut butter.... I guess I will still be buying the good, natural kind for my kids and my baked goods and the single serving kind for my snacks (because I have major issues with just eating 1 or 2 tablespoons of my favorite food unless of course I am IN my bikini!).
Tomorrow I will be bringing some baked goods to my local YMCA in celebration of my new business cards coming in the mail today! So if you are local come early to taste my dark chocolate shortbread and chocolate peanut butter white chocolate chip cookies. And I will also have cranberry coconut high protein bars in even smaller quantities. Come and get them tomorrow morning and my new business card too!

Super Protein Smoothie
Super Protein Smoothie
Wow! I have had a very busy few weeks! It has all been good, actually very, very good but busy and I have not been able to write as many recipes as I had hoped. BUT....I talked to a friend this morning who brought up protein powders and it prompted me to jot down this quick, high protein, high fiber super smoothie recipe that I created. I drink this any time I need a tasty, filling, high protein meal replacement. I have also included the nutrition facts that I calculated for your added convenience. I have so much more to write about so look for more posts later this week as well as an updated website!
BBL's Super Protein Smoothie Recipe:
1 C almond milk
1/4 C oats
1 T ground flax seeds
1 T chia seeds
1 scoop (1 oz. ) chocolate whey protein powder
1 T almond butter
1/2 C frozen blue berries
Directions:
Mix all ingredients in blender! That's it!!! YUMMY, filling and SO delicious!
This makes 1 serving but it is so dense that I usually drink half and save the other half for later.

Roasted Sweeties
It's snowing here in the beautiful land of Massachusetts. My kids are always hungry. And by that I mean ALWAYS! So I must feed them every few hours but every calorie counts with their quickly growing bodies that fill up and empty out quickly. So today we are roasting chick peas the sweet way. Here is the recipe:
2 can chick peas drained and dried very well
Shakes of cinnamon and nutmeg
Drizzle of agave nectar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425! Drain and dry chick peas. Put in plastic bag and shake in some cinnamon and nutmeg. Drizzle some agave.... Not much (like a tablespoon tops). Shake bag or better yet get your little monkeys to shake it! Place chickpeas in single layer on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake 15 min stirring often. Keep checking and stirring gently until they are crispy and yummy. Eat and enjoy your power snack! Great in salads and wraps too! My kids love them!
And a huge thank you to Matt for reminding me that chick peas are good roasted the sweet way (and for a fabulous dinner!). My favorite way to roast them is with chili powder, and cumin but its way too spicy for my kids. They love them the sweet way!
