And it is exactly 1 month that I will be in Costa Rica teaching at a resort for one whole week! I cannot wait, I have so many plans to see the volcanoes, mountains, jungle, beaches, and horseback riding. This experience is going to be life-changing!
More exciting news to come, stay tuned for more fall events and workshops.
And as for todays snack recipe I made Chewy Fudgy Brownie Energy Bites. The recipe is sooo simple and they are deff better warm then room temperature, so put them in the microwave or toaster oven!
Chewy Fudgy Brownie Energy Bites:
- 3/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup pure
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder, unsweeted or 1/4 cup raw cacao
- chocolate chips (optional)
Combine all ingredients in a bowl, roll into little balls, refrigerate and store. Can freeze for up to 1 month, and can heat slightly to make them extra chewy and fudgy! Enjoy!
