Melt In Your Mouth Crunch Bark

,

Sometimes you just need a little crunch added to the sweetness cravings. Anyone else? This combo might have you a little confused (quinoa?!) but I proooomise it is worth a try! Instead of a million additives to a candy bar, this will satisfy you just the same. Bonus? It’s so easy to throw together in no time! Your kids could even mix everything together once you cook the quinoa. You can’t really mess it up and it’s a healthy snack for everyone! Also, who doesn’t love a chocolate peanut butter combo? 😉

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup + 1 tsp quinoa
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (not melted!)
  • 1 Tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Line an 8x8 cake pan with parchment paper. In a medium-sized pan on medium heat, add quinoa. Cook for about three minutes or until lightly browned. Stir occasionally. While it is toasting, in a medium-sized bowl combine peanut butter, coconut oil, and cocoa powder. Stir until mixed. When the quinoa is finished toasting, set aside and let it cool. Once cooled, add quinoa to mixture and stir until mixed. Pour into pan and spread evenly. Place in the freezer for at least 45 minutes or until frozen. Remove and break apart. (One of the best parts other than eating it!) Store in a sealed container in the freezer. Enjoy!

Chunky Monkey Smoothie Bowl

,

Chunky Monkey Smoothie Bowl--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.com The chocolate peanut butter combo used to never be a thing for me. People that always raved about it, just weren’t totally my people. Just kidding, I just couldn’t really relate…until about three years ago. Now it has me wrapped around it’s little finger and I don’t see an end in sight. It’s fine. I’ve come to accept it. (See? And here.) For good measure (and because I genuinely loooove it) I added greens to this smoothie bowl. Don’t let the color fool you. You can’t taste it at all. It’s just an added perk to this deliciousness! Plus, it keeps you extra full all morning long!Chunky Monkey Smoothie Bowl--Recipe at: stephanie-spring.com
