Simply Apple Nachos

Apple Nachos? Yes, HECK YA!!

 

I love food and it has to have flavor and fill me up. No bland, boring, left starving said NO one leaving one of my meals. Yesterday, I experimented with a snack idea.

I started a new fitness program and needed to make sure my nutrition matches all my hard work. Did you know the nutrition is 80% of your results!? Yep, so your spending hours in the gym and not eating the RIGHT foods in the CORRECT portions...you're kind of wasting your time. Enter sad face.

So back to the nachos. Yum. I still needed to eat a serving of fruit and some healthy fats. And it was that afternoon lull and kinda had a sweet tooth. I just knew I could be creative...so this is what I came up with. Melt in your mouth goodness.

Try it. Great afternoon snack for the kiddos and even a dessert! Trust me, you won't be disappointed! 

1 slices apple

Drizzled with 1 tbsp natural peanut butter

Sprinkled with cinnamon 

1 tbsp raisins(no sugar added)

1tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes

OH. MY. YUM!

Simply more Nutritious Popcorn...

We love popcorn. Like its on our menu at least 2-3x a week. I make it with pastured butter and Celtic sea salt, drizzled with my nut butter(recipe on the blog) and sometimes I sprinkle with nutritional yeast! It's amazing.

A couple of years ago, I came across an article about the benefits of multi-colored popcorn. I had never even seen this stuff other than on that beautiful Indian corn during thanksgiving. After finding this out, I've never gone back to traditional popcorn...plus it looks super amazing in a mason jar! It's simple really;

It has more antioxidants!!! I was so surprised to hear that a good, organic picots is loaded with nutrients and actually protein too! It's a natural whole grain(gf) and has great fiber!! All good popcorn has these benefit but the multicolored has more. 

And also, stay away from microwave popcorn which doesn't do anything good for you! Same with movie theater popcorn. Get a good air popper and make it like the good ol' days. Your kids will love it...and so will you!!
