FEED THE BEAST /// Taco Tuesday

This is one of my favorite meals that Jacob makes. Since it was just us tonight, we nibbled on chips and guac while he made the fish, it took less than 20 minutes all together. On nights like tonight, I like to spice up a simple meal with some fun and vibrant dinnerware + napkins. I've been collecting kitchen pieces since... uh I don't know when. Anyway, I love any reason to mix + match pieces from different collections. Where do you like to get your dinnerware and kitchen accessories from?

FEED THE BEAST: Chocolate Wonder Mint

Ingredients:
<>  10 + mint leaves
<>  handful of spinach
<>  2-4 dates
<>  1 frozen banana
<>  2 teaspoons of spirulina
<>  2 tbsp cacao
<>  1 1/2 cup almond milk
<>  handful of ice

*sometimes we add a scoop of protein powder 

Blend it all together and you have the most delish treat, and it's healthy!
When I want something sweet this does the trick! Because of the fruit, I like to drink it in the morning or middle of the day. Then I can work that sugar off.

Hope you enjoy!!!

FEED THE BEAST: Paleo Pancakes

FAIL.




Lately we have been getting requests to post some of our healthy meals. Usually Jacob does all the cooking in our house, but Sunday I decided to surprise him with blueberry banana pancakes. I surprised myself with how good these were!

Confession time... when Jacob came home I was really frustrated because I couldn't make the pancake pretty. It was burnt and crumbled so he came to my rescue and helped me out. We definitely need a pancake griddle to make this easier for me.

Here's the break down for the Pancakes:
<> 3 banana's
<> 3 eggs
<> 1/2 cup of almond butter
<> 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
<> handful of blueberries (add these after everything is blended)

All you have to do is mix the ingredients (not including blueberries) in a blender or Vitamix and then pour onto your greased (we use coconut oil) griddle.

*We are going to continue this feature, Kelly came up with the name because that is what she says when I get grumpy. But it's so true, after I am fed I go back to being a peach:)

*oh and this fed 3 of us. We didn't use syrup. I know banana's have a lot of sugar in them so I ate this then 30 min later I ran 5 miles. Try to eat your fruit before workouts:)
