Clean Eating Cookies!


Soooo...
Sometimes my concoctions totally fail and sometimes they rock. #justsayin 

I'm really bad at measuring and following a recipe, I tend to raid the cupboards and dump and stir. And tonight it was a WIN! 

After going gluten, sugar and dairy free my cravings have been out of control!!! 

So tonight in my attempt to stay on the bull, I came up with these. And the amounts are a guess FYI
😉
1/4 c melted coconut oil
1/2 c applesauce 
1/3 c pure maple syrup
3/4 c almond milk 
3/4 c coconut flour 
1/2 c almond flour
1/4 unsweetened coconut 
1 scoop vegan chocolate Shakeology 
1 mashed banana 
1 tbsp cinnamon 
2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp ground flax seed 

Mash and Mix until thick and moist. If you need to add a little more liquid, do so. Scoop with small ice cream scoop and bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Voila!

Kids, Homework and Clean Eating

My thyroid got the best of me today and I forced myself to STAY DOWN. I was so tired of laying down all day though, although I definitely benefited from the rest.. So when Addy got home from school, I made them Strawberry Shakeology with spinach and fruit in it, and spinach cakes for an after school snack. #MomWin! 

They were in heaven!! 

And then we turned on our favorite educational playlist on YouTube and did some homework. Mason and McKinley got to trace letters and numbers and Addy did her 1st grade notebook from school. This doesn't happen very often, so I soaked in the 20-30 minutes that they ALL STAYED FOCUSED! 4 kids under 6 can be so chaotic sometimes!

That was my success for the day ðŸ˜‰.

Always recognize your successes!!! As Moms we easily find all the things we didn't do - instead focus on all the things you DID DO! <3
