Energy Bars

I am huge fan of these bars! They are easy to make, portable, they are DELISH, and they are all-natural.  So many protein bars are loaded with junk.  Don't be fooled by protein bars and don't put crap in your body!

p.s. your house will smell so amazingly scrumptious while these are baking, you will want to make them every week! #HelloBettyCrocker The smell of these bars really put me in the holiday spirit... is that weird?!

These energy bars are: Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, Dairy-Free, Organic,  Non-GMO, & DELICIOUS!  

Ingredients: 

2 cups of pecans 

1 1/2 cup of almonds 

4 dates  

dash of cinnamon
dash of salt 

 1/2 cup of honey OR 

coconut nectar for less sugar... I've tried each out and love both! 

Directions: 

 Place nuts in food processor or good blender and pulse.  Be careful not over process.  You don't want an almond butter texture.

Then place all other ingredients in food processor and pulse until a thick texture is made. 

Place batter in an 8x8 cooking pan that is greased with coconut oil.  

Bake on a low temperature around 180 for about an hour.  Leave the oven slightly cracked open.  Once the top starts to brown, take the pan out. 

Cut & Serve (or store for the week!)

Low Carb Pasta Alternative by Katie

Love pasta but hate the calorie and carb overload? We have two words for you... 

Spaghetti Squash.

This miracle of a veggie is a life saver!  We have all have comfort food craving and spaghetti squash will soon be your new BFF. 

Low carb pasta alternative

Ingredients: 

3 oz extra lean ground turkey, one spaghetti squash, 1 tbsp light butter, garlic powder, diced onion, salt and pepper
 

First preheat your over to 400 degrees. Slice your spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seeds (I saved mine to roast for later with light butter, cinnamon and stevia). 

When the oven is ready place squash open side down in a glass baking pan. Add just enough water to line the bottom of the pan. 

Bake for about 30-40 minutes. Then prep your turkey and season with garlic and onion. Place ground turkey in skillet on low-medium heat and break it up with a fork as it's cooking. Salt and pepper as needed. 

When your squash is done a fork should easily pierce the inside all the way to the skin. Then take a fork and use it to shred the inside of the squash (it should easily fall apart into little spaghetti squash noodles!) a small squash makes about four cups and I usually eat 1-2 cups. 

Then add a tbsp of light butter salt and pepper and your ground turkey! You can also add different low cal pasta sauces!

1 Cup of Spaghetti Squash is 42 calories and 10 carbs!
