The best part- they are EASYYYYY and don't require a lot of prep time!
Creamy Fruit Dip
Ingredients:2 frozen bananas (if serving immediately, if not, use room temp)
3-4 tablespoons of milk or almond milk
1 heaping tablespoon nut butter (Take your pick! I love almond butter, cashew butter, I love em all!)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
Dash of Lemon Juice if you plan on refrigerating
Throw ingredients into a food processor (or blender) and process until smooth. You may need to stop it and scrape the sides every min or so. This gets you about 3/4 of a cup.
Enjoy your dip with your fruit of choice! I love apple wedges because they are easy and freaking delicious. I used to only eat Granny Smith...but there are sooo many to choice from and they are all special and delicious in their own way =)
You can also try this Cinnamon Almond Fruit Dip!

Hummus
I am OBSESSED with all things hummus- it’s super easy to make or buy and it goes with practically every veggie known to man! Try Edamame Hummus! It's very high in protein and delish! Or try this Hummus Recipe
My favorite flavor of store bought hummus is Whole Foods

Apple & Nut Butter Sanwich
Apple & pb or almond butter sandwiches (Core your apple and then slice it into “rings” to make your sandwich- good old fashioned wedges are always good too!)
Oh and guess what, if you want to make your own Peanut butter....you literally just put peanuts in your food processor...and process! It's like magic!! Who knew it was that easy?!?!
Homemade granola is REALLY easy to make and easy to take on the go! (Recipe here: FitSugar.com)

Shakeology
I love my Shakeology because...it's easy, it's freaking amazing, the taste is out of this world, it makes me feel better and literally there are sooo many ways to make it you could try a new recipe everyday!
If you're always on the go, it comes in super convenient packets to just grab. Throw in a shaker cup and out the door you go! Or keep a bottle of water handy and you have a snack/meal on the run!
Make sure you keep a packet in your purse and if you're every in a crunch, no worries...you are prob within 15 steps of a Starbucks lol Ask them for a cup of water and ice! Boom!
No Excuses =)
No granted it's not some fancy cup or gorgeous presentation, but if it saves you from the McDonald's drive thru....I'll consider it an ENORMOUS win!
I personally am ok mixing it with just water, but O.M.G when you mix it with milk or almond milk...HEAVEN!! Play with the amount of liquid you add- it totally changes the taste and consistency!
And you don't always have to drink it out of a boring cup! Somehow this makes it seems wayyyy more delicious!

I read this blog earlier today and decided to try the homemade granola since my husband LOVVVVES granola. It was awesome! I did change it up a little bit and made it more simple since I didn't have all the ingredients:) I used honey instead of maple syrup, juice squeezed from 2 oranges, cinnamon, flaxseed, chia seeds, almonds and figs. TURNED OUT AWESOME :)
