I plan to incorporate some recipes into my blogs. I’ve had a lot of requests for recipes! I am typically a very basic meal planner. I make some sort of meat (simply made) and then add a vegetable, salad, and some sort of pasta for the kids (every so often). I typically stay away from casseroles and sauces because I find they have a lot of calories and ingredients that I do not want.
That being said, I found this delicious recipe for Peanut Butter Coconut Granola! I LOVE home-made granola and often times eat it as a pre or post exercise (specifically run) energy booster or recovery meal. I like to put a couple spoonfuls in a little bowl and add some fresh PB to it w/ a little honey, raisins, apples, bananas, protein powder and such (pretty much whatever I have in the house). sometimes, I even sprinkle a bit of granola on my PB toast (that’s what I eat before every run that is 3+ miles. It just works really well for me).
Anyways, I found this recipe on the facebook page of “I see Fit People” and love it. Loved it so much….felt the need to blog it!
I liked the healthy mix of ingredients and I especially found the coconut sugar to be really tasty! I substituted walnuts for the peanuts because I wear braces (coming off soon!) and peanuts are too hard for my braces. I can’t wait to try it frozen, such as ISFP suggests. Here’s the recipe….ENJOY!! (Oh….and it will make your house feel cozy and smell delicious!)
