Hi there!
I'd love to share with you one of my favorite treats :) No bad ingredients and makes a great snack for everyone! Also takes care of that sweet tooth if ya have one ;) THE DAILY KALE'S PROTEIN TRUFFLES
DIRECTIONS 1. Blend in a food processor for about a minute. 2. Then add in 2 tbsp. water while continuing to blend and the mixture will begin to clump up and be a big ball. 3. Mold in whatever shape you like. I find that ball shapes are the easiest. And then you can roll them in whatever you'd like! I chose matcha powder, hemp seeds & cacao powder. But chia seeds and coconut are also great ideas! Enjoy! I don't know about you... but I really love creating. When I say that, I mean it in all aspects. But obviously creating recipes. If your not into it, I hope you'll at least try it out. I'm not noe of those people who sit back and just let others create for me and go about my business. No no. My business is creating. I LOVE IT. I love art in all forms. But now on to what this post is really about. The post title is REAL. and I'm about to let you in on it. I have been loving banana bread for not very long, I'll admit. I love morning pastries & donuts, don't get me wrong. But I've never ventured into the banana bread realm really. Never sounded great or bad. But I tried a vegan/gluten free banana bread recently and was blown away. It was however, kinda dry & way to sweet for my liking. ( I really don't like sweet stuff that much.) If you've read my dessert recipes before, I'm pretty sure you understand that. So look, if you love sugar, then this might not be for you. But it is FOR ME. And that is why, I do this. Cause I'm sick of having to go with the normal recipes for desserts & cakes, etc that ALWAYS have sugar, coconut sugar, blah blah, loads of agave. NO! I'm putting an end to this. Because to me, it's excessive. Like bananas are sweet enough, are they not? Call me crazy- but um, a banana is freaking sweet. I have seen people dip bananas in sugar and I am BAFFLED AT WHY they do this. Totally unnecessary. And I grew up drinking gallons of Mnt. Dew, so believe me- it has nothing to do with anything else besides, I guess, your taste buds. But hey- my heart does not like a lot of sweets all at once. And when I say sweets, I mean like 1 banana in my smoothie- yeah, thats right. I put only half. I get shaky. Sugar is crack ya'll! Lol. On that note, heres a lovely recipe for banana bread ;) No but really, in all seriousness. I'm proud of this recipe :) No added sugar. Just good ole' natural sugar. Like bananas and maple syrup & dark cacao nibs:) CHOCOLATE WALNUT BANANA BREAD

And THEN... E N J O Y. I will be enjoying this today, yes. But even more so for breakfast with some coffee. MHMMMM. Hello & Happy Friday~
For some of you this means the weekend, whoo hop! For me, not so much. Haha. I'm a server, most of you know this. So my work schedule is basically opposite of the the normal. But it works for me so I am able to pursue my career in acting! Now anyway, need to focus on what this post is really about. And thats about the challenge I'm launching for all of you & myself. Sometimes we find ourselves in a rut, and feel like something needs to change. At least for me thats currently how I feel, and I think it always goes back to nutrition and exercise. Which there has kinda been a big lack there of in both departments for me, not gonna lie. I always keep it 'healthy'. But Not really in the tip top shape I'd like to be in. I would love to invite you to join me in my green eating adventure. #TheDailyKale challenge does not mean you have to eat kale everyday. Although I don't find that a problem ;) haha. I just feel like sometimes I don't get enough veggies in. If your still hungry after eating a meal, and realize you didn't really have any veggies or clean food, then thats probably why your still hungry and not satisfied, or not feeling that great. I feel awesome when I eat my quinoa bowls. It's pretty much a great balanced meal. And having green smoothies, and my cacao truffles. All of that yummy clean food. You can't feel bad about it, because it's not bad. So I would LOVE FOR YOU to join me in my attempt of becoming even greener. I will give you an example of what you could possibly eat in a day. I understand some of you are not vegan, and thats fine, so whatever I write, just opt for your particular (hopefully organic and clean) protein of choice instead. And on instagram if you post a photo of your beautiful clean meal & or of you & your favorite veggie, please #thedailykale so I can see it :) *In addition to this green clean eating , I am upping my exercise also. I think we all have different goals & like to do different things for workout. And thats awesome. I do like to write down my workout plan for the week and check it off like a to do list once I've completed it. I feel really happy when I wrote a goal down and get to check it off. It could be just as simple as writing down: Tuesday, walk 3 miles. And then checking it off after :) You should try it. Get outside or in the gym, do something fun, just get out there and be active. Keep yourself healthy! Love ya'll! Sample Plan for #TheDailyKale Challenge (But anything works, just get those veggies in! Thats the real point) Breakfast : Avocado Toast Lunch/Dinner: Quinoa Bowl : Could consist of Black beans, quinoa, kale, topped with purple cabbage, and cashew cheese or pesto Snacks: Nuts, fruit, Green Smoothie Oh and drink tons of water! Like for real, a bunch :) Have a great weekend! So silly enough, all I can think of when I read 'peanut butter cups', is the movie '50 First Dates'. I think of the Hawaiian actor calling Adam Sandler's character, 'Mr. Peanut Butter Cups'. Lol. Thought I'd just share that. Now that thats out of the way-- onto my amazing new recipe. The Raw Peanut Butter Cup. Omg. My boyfriend was impressed! He's like, how'd you do that? They really look like the real thing! Uh huuuhh. Cause I'm good like that, duh! Haha. Jk. With very easy instructions you can too!
These are the ingredients you will need to make 6 THE DAILY KALE'S RAW PEANUT BUTTER CUPS
