Nut Butter and Fruit Toast

Try this for an after school snack or a mid-morning munch.
Start with your favorite gluten-free bread. Toast the bread.
Top with 1 Tbsp of your favorite nut butter and then some fresh fruit instead of jam. Vary the combinations.
Some delicious favorites:
almond butter with sliced apple or pear
cashew butter with sliced strawberries or raspberries
peanut butter with sliced strawberries or banana

Make Your Own Chocolate for One

Ok. I admit it. Sometimes I like a little bit of dessert. Here is a quick little dessert idea that makes enough for 1 person (me!). You make your own chocolate dip from coconut oil, agave nectar, and cacao powder (or cocoa powder), then  dip a few strawberries. Like I said, it only makes enough to dip a few strawberries but it is sweet and delicious and won't put your calories over the edge.

Mix together: 1 tsp melted coconut oil, 1 tsp agave nectar, 1/2 tsp cacao powder or cocoa powder. Mix. Spread on a few organic strawberries. Mmmmm. Enjoy!!

New LaraBar Flavors!

If you haven't tried it yet, the new Peanut Butter & Jelly LaraBar tastes amazingly like PB & J!! There is also a Peanut Butter Cookie flavor which we have not yet tried (it is in the snack drawer!) but will let you know our review soon.
