Healthy Fig Newtons
Preheat Oven to 350
For the Dough:
  • 1 1/2 cups of oats
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
Mix these in a blender or food processor (I used a vitamix)
Then pour into bowl and mix in the maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

For the Fig Paste:
  • 5 Figs

  • 2 TBSP Stevia
Puree these ingredients together
Roll the dough out into two long rectangles, put the fig past into the center of one of the rectangles, take the other rectangle and place it on top of the other and seal the edges together (this part can be messy and difficult!)
Place in oven for 20 minutes, allow for them to cool before cutting them into squares

Healthy Chicken Salad Recipe:
I personally think it tastes better in a wrap grilled
  • 1/2 cup cubed cooked chicken
  • 3 TBSP of greek yogurt (I used plain Chobani)
  • 1/4 (or less) of chopped celery
  • 1/2 TSP chia seeds
  • 1/2 TSP hot sauce (optional)
Mix all the above ingredients together, then I placed in a wrap with spinach and then grilled on a panini maker 


Cinnamon Roll 
Quest Bar Edition 
  • Heat up a cinnamon roll quest bar for a few seconds in the microwave
  • Flatten out the quest bar, sprinkle cinnamon,stevia, and a little brown sugar over the quest bar
  • Roll up the quest bar and bake in the oven a 400 for ~6 minutes
  • Take a cinnamon cream cheese laughing cow wedge and spread over the top
  • Tip: so yours looks better than mine, microwave the laughing cow cheese wedge and drizzle it over the top
  • Voila! 


Coconut Waffles
These waffles are the same recipe as my coconut pancakes...just in waffle form! So delicious!
Heres the recipe again:
  • 1 scoop of Vanilla Whey Protein Powder (or any type)

  • 1/2 TSP Stevia
  • 1/4 TSP Salt
  • 1 Egg White
  • 1/4 TSP Butter Extract

Peanut Butter Cinnamon French Toast Crepes
  • Take one tortilla (I use Tumaro's brand) 
  • Soak the tortilla in 1-2 egg whites, 1/3 cup almond milk, and cinnamon
  • Place tortilla on a skillet 
  • While the one side is cooking prepare the filling and topping:
  • 1/2 container of greek yogurt (I used light and fit Vanilla)
  • Mix that with 1-2 TBSP of PB2
  • The sauce is just 1 TBSP of PB2 with 1 TBSP of water
  • Make sure to cook both sides of the tortilla and then take the tortilla on a plate, scoop the greek yogurt mix onto the center of the tortilla and then roll the tortilla up
  • Then drizzle the PB2 sauce over everything!

For the couscous, take 1/4 cup of dry couscous, boil 3/4 cup water, then place dry couscous in the pan, add 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp butter extract (optional) cover for 5 minutes, then serve!
