preheat you oven to 350 degrees ( 180 Celsius ) 

2. Add the rest of the ingredients to the coconut oil mixture. 

3. Grease your baking sheet ( i used my smallest, square one ) with some coconut oil

* energy bites *

Good morning Friends! 

I've been sick for over 4 days... Thank goodness we had a 4 day weekend  
(so I could relax all day ) and for my ginger+lemon+honey tea . 

I feel so much better now and I was so excited to hare this amazing recipe with you! 
Yaaaayyy for healthy snacks! 

* energy bites *



* 2 cups almond meal

* 2 cups dried dates 

* 2 bananas 

* 1/2 cup ground flex seed

* 3 tbsp chia seeds 

Place your dates in your food processor for a few minutes( I had to do it twice :) )
then gradually add all the other ingredients.

After a few minutes the mixture will be smooth and sticky, so you can start 
rolling your balls. 

I used a tablespoon to scoop up a batch of dough, then roll them into little balls 
with your hands.

You can roll them in some chia seeds, coconut flakes or whatever you'd prefer :).

Place them in the freezer for 2 hours to set, then keep them in the fridge. 

This recipe makes about 30 balls.

Have a wonderful week! Don't forget to enjoy the little things!

* kale and quinoa patties *

Good morning Friends!

I hope you all had a wonderful time with your family and friends! 

We had lots of delicious ( but not really healthy )food, so I thought I would share a great 

healthy recipe with you today :) 

kale and quinoa patties 

ingredients: 

* 2 1/2 cups quinoa ( cooked, cooled ) 

* 3 eggs ( beaten ) 

* 1 1/2 cups Parmesan (greated) 

* 1/2 cup chives

* 1/2 yellow onion ( diced ) 

* 4 cups kale ( chopped ) 

* salt, pepper

* coconut oil ( for frying ) 

1. Cook your quinoa, make sure you wait for it to cool off a little before 

mixing it with the eggs !

2. Saute your onions then add your kale, and cook until the kale is bright green. 

3. Whisk your eggs in a big bowl, then add all your ingredients to the egg mixture. 

4. Heat up your coconut oil ( enough to coat the bottom), form little patties. 

( if it's too sticky or they won't stay together I usually add a little more Parmesan )  

5. Fry until golden brown on each side for a few minutes.

6. Let them drain on a paper towel. 

I usually make little patties but you can try to make bigger ones, enjoy them 

however you like it! 

You can add lots of spices, green onions, jalapeño pepper, make them   to your taste. 

Enjoy your little patties with some sour cream on top, they are absolutely delicious. 

I hope you'll like them. Have a wonderful week!

* homemade popsicles *

Good morning, Friends! 

Check out these beautiful popsicles! I cannot believe I made them.

 I have been obsessed with other people's popsicle pictures on Pinterest, so I decided that i have to make them until we still have all these lovely fruit this summer. 

You're not going to believe how easy is to make them and they are absolutely delicious.

I need to warn you, these popsicles are like the Justin's chocolate hazelnut butter compare to Nutella. They are not going to be as sweet as a regular popsicle, but they are healthy, packed with vitamins, so you can taste the fruit not the sugar. :) 

I hope you'll try to make them!

You'll need: 

- popsicle maker tray 

- greek yogurt ( 1 cup )

- coconut milk ( 1/2 cup )

- shredded coconut

- chia seeds

- maple syrup

- fruit ( blackberries, raspberries ) 

Mix everything together, divide among the popsicle molds, and place it in the freezer. 

Enjoy your yummy, delicious, healthy popsicles!

Be yourself, be happy, be creative,
