almond butter and fig snack

Are you hungry? if not, you will be after you look at these photos. Good news, this is a healthy snack. So go ahead! 

If I am looking for a well balanced snack that will satisfy me without leaving making me feel overly full, this is my go to. Perfect to eat before a yoga class or a run. Or really anytime you I am short on time. 

Ingredients: 

• 1 Slice toasted sesame bread (ezekiel)
• Heaping smear of Almond butter 
• Adriatic fig spread 
• Fresh figs 

Essentially this is a gourmet version of an open faced peanut butter and jelly. You could substitute any nut butter and any fruit spread or jam topped with fresh fruit. Have fun with it. Whoever said 'dont play with your food' has no idea what they are talking about!

Berry minty strawberies n' mint

Craving something sweet, yet light? 

All you need are 3 ingredients for this sweet little treat. 

Ingredients:

 

 

• Mint, minced.

• Lemon juice, fresh squeezed. 

• Fresh strawberries, sliced. 

Combine the 3 lovely ingredients until well coated. If you are totally tempted, feel free to eat right away. Or if you can manage the wait, it will be well worth it to allow this berry minty mix to sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
The natural sugary goodness of juicy strawberries and zesty lemon added to the fresh herbal finesse the mint offers is lively when combined.

Guiltlessy indulge in this summery sweet treat....even for breakfast if you feel so inclined my darlings.

Made with love,
