Sweet n' Salty Popcorn Recipe 

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • 4 TBSP butter (or coconut oil)
  • 2 TBSP honey (preferably raw)
  • 1/8 - 1/4 tsp sea salt, to taste
Directions
  • Pop the popcorn into a large bowl using an air popper. (If you prefer, you may use the stove-top method, instead, using the directions printed on most bags of popcorn kernels. In that case, coconut oil is a great choice for stove-top cooking.)
  • Meanwhile, melt the honey and butter (or oil) together on the stove in a small pan over low- to- medium-low heat.
  • When the popcorn is done, pour the butter/oil and honey mixture over the popcorn and toss to coat.
  • Sprinkle the popcorn with sea salt and toss to coat it evenly.
  • This treat is sticky and delicious, and it makes enough to serve 2 to 4 people.

5- Minute Homemade Energy Bars 

Makes 5 bars

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup quick rolled oats, gluten free if need be
  • 1/4 cup crunchy almond butter, smooth works too
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder(Hemp protein powder)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maca powder
  • 1/4 cup water

Preparation


1. Place all ingredients in food processor, and pulse until well blended. The batter should be sticky and easy to press together and form into individual bars.

2. Form into bars and place in fridge for 30 minutes to set. If planning to keep for longer than 4 days, store in freezer.

Recipe Note:The type of protein powder you use will affect how the recipe turns out. I find the fewer ingredients the better, and taste wise, a powder that doesn't have added veggies in the powder works better. If you don't add protein powder, you may need a little less water.

Raw Coconut Lemon Bites 

I often get asked, what can I make with the left over almond meal from making almond milk. This is a great recipe to use it up with.

 2 cups almond meal (this is the dry stuff you get leftover from making almond milk-you could make your own almond flour instead and just up the liquids in the rest of the recipe a bit)

1 tbsp maple syrup

Juice of 3 lemons

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup coconut oil

Shredded coconut for rolling (1 or more cups roughly)

Mix together everything except the shredded coconut
Form dough into balls (a little smaller than a golf ball) and then roll in shredded coconut until completely covered
Store in the fridge for up to a week
