Happy Monday Sweaties!
As I am catching up with all of you the birds are singing outside while the sun is shining and the air is finally warming up. Spring is right around the corner, I can feel it.
This past weekend Long Island got a small taste of spring and I am already finding myself wanting it more then I did before we got the little teaser. However I wasn't able to fully enjoy the beautiful weather due to a tooth infection, or at least that is what I think I am dealing with. I'll know in a few hours and hopefully be relived of this killer pain!
Anyway on Saturday I spent the afternoon food shopping with Lauren, we went to Trader Joe's and our local health food store, Sherry's.
Speaking of Sherry's they surprised me a few weeks ago with a basket of some of their favorite products from their store, some I was familiar with but most of them were new to me foods so I was really excited!
I think my favorite part of the entire basket were the cinnamon millet & flax chips, I ended up picking up another bag of them during my stop there this weekend. Thanks again Sherry's! I love you guys :)
During my shopping trip I stumbled across two epic finds:
Zico has a latte flavor!! AND it has natural caffeine.
The taste is similar to the Starbucks frappucino drinks you can find in stores and I am a big fan of this drink, definitely recommend it! I asked Zico if they are available everywhere and they said only in NYC and Amazon.
This stuff is the bomb diggity ya'll.
I love cooking with coconut oil, we know this already, but I use PAM for spraying baking sheets,pans, etc until I picked up this bad boy. I used it for the first time yesterday while making apple cinnamon protein muffins [recipe will be below] and was very happy with the results.
Yesterday was Sunday, which means MEAL PREP day for me, tooth pain or not I was not letting it stop me from being prepared for the week. I made quinoa and tofu for lunches with a side of brussels, frozen greek yogurt bites [more on that tomorrow] strawberry and kiwi fruit salad with coconut balsamic and shredded coconut on top, and muffins.
