Healthy No-Bake Peanut Butter Power Brownies

Every now and again there are days where I could use a little pick me up. Sometimes I'll grab a piece of fruit, chocolate or a handful of nuts. Sometimes I just crave sugar, calories and protein and when I do, these little power brownies keep me going.

They are packed with protein from the peanut butter and who doesn't like peanut butter?! It is delicious and has many health benefits! The oats give you slow burning and long lasting energy. The cinnamon is your source of antioxidants and the chia seeds has your daily dose of omega 3s and 6s.

These little suckers are perfect right out of the freezer! I keep a supply of them in there and when I'm in a hurry and need a boost, I pop a couple in my mouth and I'm ready for the next task at hand!

Health Benefits of Peanut Butter

Suppresses Hunger For Weight Loss
Eating peanuts and peanut butter helps control hunger without leading to weight gain.

Your Heart Loves Peanuts
Studies found peanuts lowered the risk of cardiovascular and coronary heart disease.

Lowers Colon Cancer
Eating peanuts and peanut butter may reduce colon cancer in women.

Helps Protect Against Alzheimer’s Disease and Memory Impairment
A study found that those getting the most niacin from foods were 70 percent less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. Peanuts are one of the foods highest in niacin.
Picture
Prevent Gallstones
In two studies, individuals eating five or more servings of nuts per week had a 25 percent to 30 percent lower risk of getting gallstones compared to those who rarely or never ate nuts. Although peanuts are technically classified as a legume, they were considered nuts for these experiments, so peanuts are actually the most commonly consumed ‘nut’ in the world.

Full of Healthy Fat
All of the fat in peanut butter is heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. A study found that insulin-resistant adults who ate a diet high in mono-saturated fat had less belly fat than people who ate more carbohydrates or saturated fat.
Picture
Lowers Type 2 Diabetes
Eating peanuts can reduce the risk of diabetes according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

High in Valuable Nutrition
Peanut butter has protein as well as potassium — which lowers the risk of high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease. It also contains fiber for your bowel health, healthy fats, magnesium to fortify your bones and muscles, Vitamin E and antioxidants.
Picture
No-Bake Peanut Butter Power Brownies
​
1/2 cup Peanut Butter
1 cup Old Fashioned Oats
1/4 cup Cocoa
4 tablespoons Chia Seeds
2 tablespoons Cinnamon
1/4 cup Agave Nectar
1 pinch of Himalayan Sea Salt
Place all ingredients into a medium mixing bowl and stir everything together. Then use parchment paper to place at the bottom of a 8x4in pan and cut the corners so that the paper lays flat. Pour the mixture into the pan with the parchment paper and spread evenly. Cover and freeze for one hour. After the power brownies are solidified, slip the parchment paper out of the pan (super easy clean up!) and cut the power brownies to the desired size. I like to cut them small so that when I pop a frozen one in my mouth they instantly melt.

Thanks for reading, I hope you try this recipe and love it like I do! Please feel free to reach out to me with your healthy food alternative recipes. I LOVE new food ideas and how to swap out unhealthy ingredients with their healthier counterparts!

"​Brian answered all my phone calls at any hour, all my crazy questions, and he went down a lot of wormholes with me on a lot of my neurotic wanderings. In short, he understands and is empathatic to the first time home buyer in LA. A very tough market.

He instills confidence and is a great strategist  and made sure we understood every step of the home buying process. At the same time he knows a lot about home building and work needed to answer questions a lot of agents can't. You just can't do better than Brian!"

Thank you so much Dennis for the wonderful review!

Maple Sweetened Blueberry Muffins

Maple Sweetened Blueberry Muffins

​Blueberries are one of the most nutrient-dense foods in the world and contain large levels and a broad range of antioxidants. The ORAC score of blueberries is an incredible 9,621, which makes it one of the highest antioxidant foods.

How BLUE-BERIFFIC is this little fruit?!

Consuming just one cup of blueberries provides the following nutrients:
Resveratrol
Gallic acid
Lutein
Zeaxanthin
Vitamin K (36 percent DV)
Vitamin C (25 percent DV)
Manganese (25 percent DV)
Fiber (17 percent DV)


Here are the top health benefits of blueberries
​and why you should include them in your diet:


Combat Aging
Not only are blueberries rich in antioxidants as a whole, but they are especially rich in proanthocyanidins, which have been observed to have additional anti-aging properties in several animal studies.

Boost the Brain
​Because they contain such a high amount of phenols, particularly gallic acid, blueberries are known as “neuro-protective agents.” According to researchers from Iran, this means that they can literally protect our brains from degeneration, neurotoxicity and oxidative stress.

Fight Cancer
Clinical studies have even discovered that, unlike radiation and chemotherapy strategies, gallic acid-rich foods like blueberries can kill cancer without harming healthy cells.

Aids Digestion
Being a natural source of soluble and insoluble fiber, blueberries can help regulate your gastrointestinal track by just eating a couple handfuls a day.

Heart Health
Researchers believe that the antioxidants in blueberries work to reduce the buildup of "bad" LDL cholesterol in artery walls that contributes to cardiovascular disease and stroke. 

Benefit the Skin
blueberries contain resveratrol, which is proven to reduce damage from over-sun exposure and can naturally darken your skin.

Weight Loss
Blueberry antioxidants have been linked to the banishing of belly fat, heart disease, and diabetes.
Not only do they change how glucose is stored and processed in the body, a diet rich in the antioxidant Anthocyanin has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
Picture
So of course with all this blueberry talk, this week's Life Food Nourish is featuring our superstar fruit - blueberries! What makes this blueberry muffin so great are of course the blueberries, but the oats as well. Oats are amazing, they are a gluten-free whole grain and a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. Plus they keep you full longer and can help you lose weight!

This recipe has zero refined sugar and is sweetened with just a bit of maple sugar. The blueberries add to the sweetness and gives the muffins a great gooey texture! I also substituted out milk for greek yogurt for that extra tanginess and protein.
Picture

Maple Sweetened Blueberry Muffins

1 cup  whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup old fashioned oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup pure organic maple syrup
1 egg
1 cup greek yogurt
3 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
11/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the blueberries aside. Combine all dry ingredients and stir well. Then combine the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Using an electric mixer, blend for about a minute. Pour about 1/4 of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until the dry ingredients are wet, repeat with the remaining 3/4 of the dry ingredients 1/4 at a time. After the wet and dry ingredients have been fully combined, carefully fold in the blueberries. Grease the muffin pan and divide the batter amongst the cups. Add a pinch of cinnamon on top. Bake for approximately 15 mins and check with a toothpick!
Picture
These blueberry muffins are so good right out of the oven! The sweetness of the maple syrup and the gooey blueberries really make this a hit in our household! And as always, they are really yummy with a slab of organic butter!

Misses Kisses' Trip to Affordable Animal Hospital!

As many of you have encountered the same experience with your you own lovable furball, Misses Kisses (our resident cat & mascot) was spade and she didn't like it - not one bit!

But it's at no fault to Affordable Animal Hospital, they treated her with care and love like we treat our own fur babies! From the moment we stepped in the door (sans cone of shame) to the minute we left (cone of shame fully intact around her furry head) Affordable Animal hospital took great care of her - and us too! We were a nervous bunch but they treated like we were their only patients and boy did we feel so much better! 

Here she is feeling "good" wearing her cone of shame... 
Picture
Don't feel bad for her though, she was groggy the rest of the day but was up and moving around tormenting our other cat by the next day!

Thank you to the staff at Affordabe Animal Hospital and a special thanks to Kai who was truly amazing and a wonderful help to us!

How to care for your cat after a spay or neuter surgery

Here are a few tips to keep them safe and healthy!

  • Provide a quiet, comfortable space for your cat.
  • Keep your cat comfortable.
  • Keep the lights low.
  • Provide a clean litter box and easily accessible food and water. 
  • Keep your cat indoors.
  • Inspect your cat’s incision area.

  • Offer the cat food and water. 
  • Let your cat rest.
  • Avoid lifting your cat unless it’s absolutely necessary.
  • Restrict your cat’s movement.
  • Avoid bathing the cat.

Easy Raw Avocado Chocolate Fudge! It's Damn Good - Seriously!

4/4/2017

Comments

 
Picture

Picture
Picture
Picture
Okay so I know when you think chocolate fudge you're not thinking that avocados would be on the ingredient list. And if it were on the ingredient list, you wouldn't think it would actually  taste good. In fact, I was so baffled by this recipe I actually made it twice to make sure I wasn't crazy! Okay, confession, it wasn't because of that... it was because it tastes DAMN GOOD - SERIOUSLY!
Picture
It's all about the avocodos! This recipe is mainly avocados, the [good] fat in the avocados is what gives this fudge recipe its fudginess! 
Picture
What makes this recipe even better is that it contains zero refined sugar. I substituted it with organic maple syrup. The nutrients found in maple syrup include energy, water, protein, fat, carbohydrates, and sugars. In terms of minerals, it contains calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus sodium, potassium, and zinc. Vitamins such as thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and B6 are also found in maple syrup. Wow! Who knew ample syrup was so healthy!?

What's even more impressive is that it contains antioxidants, it's boosts your immune system and it's good for your heart. All of these great health benefits that can provide a recipe a nice depth of sweetness really puts it on my top of refined sugar substitutes!
Picture
Raw Avocado Chocolate Fudge
Fudge:
3 medium Avocados
1/2 cup Maple Syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa
3 tablespoons Flaxseed (ground)
1 tablespoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt

Toppings:
1/4 cup chashews
1/4 cup chocolate chips
Place the avocados, maple syrup and melted coconut oil in a blender and blend on high for one minute. This makes it rich and creamy. Add in the cocoa, flaxseed, cinnamon and salt and blend for another minute. At this point the mixture looks like mousse, light fluffy and really chocolatey! Take a 8x8 baking pan and line it with wax paper. Pour the mixture in and smooth it out.

Now for the toppings! Chop up the cashews and sprinkle it along with the chocolate chips over the mixture. Then place it in the freezer for an hour. Once it is thoroughly chilled and the mixture has set, lift the mixture out of the pan simply by lifting the wax paper (easy peasy!) and cut the fudge into pieces. I like them bite size, it makes the perfect after-dinner indulgence without the guilt!

Kitten season is here and we are welcoming these adorable little kittens that are only 8 days old! They need round the clock care which includes bottle feeding them. The wonderful volunteers here at Kitten Rescue are giving them lots of love and tending to their needs. 

Come by to Kitten Rescue and give an adorable kitten a new home! :)

More great news is that Kitten Rescue LA won "The Best Cat Rescue" contest held by The World's Best Cat Litter! The ground przie is 5,000 pounds of cat litter! This will certainly keep them well stocked for months to come!!!
