ONE thing I prefer to make at home once in a while:
Softserve - specifically, banana-protein softserve (this photo is from my pumpkin fro yo recipe). I made a batch in the magic bullet last night with vanilla protein powder, 1/2 a banana, vanilla stevia, and a touch of cookie butter - then topped it with raspberries. Perfect dessert after power yoga.
TWO breakfasts I’ve been obsessed with recently:
Cottage cheese with strawberries and almonds – trust me!
Lemon cream pie overnight oats: 1/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup milk, 1/3 cup greek yogurt, 1 tsp chia, 1 Tbsp flax-seed, lemon stevia & raspberries. The combination of chia and flax makes them extra thick and creamy – with a touch of White Chocolate Wonderful for good measure. 
Trader Joe’s Black Bean & Corn Enchiladas – 260 calories per package, a quick and delicious Mexican lunch on the go!
TJ’s Spinach Kale Dip. I can’t believe it took me so long to try this – it’s fantastic! Can you tell I live less than 5 miles from a TJ’s?
French Toast K-Cups. They were on sale for $7.99 at BB&B, which is a great price for 18 of them, and I had a 20% coupon. So I bought two boxes. My husband thinks I’m a hoarder, and he just might be right.
FOUR things I can’t wait to make when my kitchen is ready
70 Calorie Triple Peanut Butter Cookies
Shrimp & Asparagus Whole Wheat Risotto
Overnight Oat Blueberry Muffins
Sounds like a well-balanced meal plan, right?!
FIVE: the number of yoga classes I’ve taken over the past 10 days
Not just because I want to do yoga more regularly, but because I had a Groupon that expires this weekend. What can I say – I’m cheap, but I can definitely see an improvement in my practice.
Tell me about a new product you’re loving this week!
Um wow…I’m loving everything in this post too haha. I totally want those K-cups! And since I have a newfound love for cottage cheese, I’m going to have to try that combo

I’m on an almond butter kick again! But I’m also obsessed with TJ’s Rosemary Raisin flatbread–they’re like crackers and you need them in your life!!!

Lately I’ve been loooving fresh strawberries with almond butter. I put that combo on my overnight oats for breakfast every day this week!

I wish I lived that close to a TJ! I haven’t seen that spinach/kale dip yet, but am excited to find/try it now!
I love cottage cheese with berries! Have you tried it with some peanut flour? It’s absolutely addicting!
now, I need to finally try that spinach-kale yumminess from TJs ASAP.

That reminds me I need to make some of that banana soft serve, yum! Just love TJ’s, that’s awesome you live so close. I’ve been loving coconut milk in smoothies because it makes it like a milkshake
You so are taunting me with all that TJ’s stuff!! I can’t wait for it to travel up north. I get excited when I can visit Whole Foods because even that isn’t close enough to me to make a trip there!! Lemon stevia sounds so delicious!

Banana soft serve is the best
It just hits the spot!
I would have never guessed protein powder to go with banana soft serve! Gotta try this.
the overnight lemon cream pie looks so delicious.
Banana soft serve with protein powder is a great idea! It’s been ages since I’ve made soft serve, but I bought seven bananas this week, and it’s 90-something degrees outside, so it’s going to happen this week.
I LOVE TJ’s spinach and kale dip! SO good. I tried a truffled ricotta dip over the weekend, and it was love/lust at first bite. Omg.
Hope you had a fun weekend!
