No bake Oatmeal Raisin Protein Bites

My husband and I absolutely loves Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I was about to make my normal Healthy No-bake Energy Bites and Simple To Make and thought….hmm maybe I can try to make a different version that everyone would love. Ya’ll!! They are SO good! They taste like oatmeal raisin cookie dough. De-licious!! I really hope you get to try them and let me know how you like them.

So I started out with the typical Oatmeal, peanut butter, flaxseed, honey, vanilla but this time I added; raisins and cinnamon. This time around I did not add a lot of cinnamon because I’ve done that before in recipes and it was not good. So to keep it on the “safe side” I added just enough. You can also tweak the recipe if you like more raisins and cinnamon. Oh and next time I’ll add my typical walnuts, I am out of those currently. 

Ingredients: 

1 cup Oatmeal

1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter (smooth this time) 

1/2 cup Flaxseed

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/3 cup Organic Honey

2 tsp Vanilla

1/2 cup Organic Raisins

1 1/2 tsp Cinnamon 

Directions:

Put all ingredients in a food processor (I use a Ninja) and mix together. You’ll probably have to stop the mixer to scrap the sides to get it completely mixed together.

Once all mixed together, put it in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes and then form them into little bites. 

I store them in a glass container and leave them in the fridge until I eat them. 
Enjoy!!

Holiday Stove top Potpourri

I was looking for some easy ways to make our house smell great this holiday season and I found one that I love. I make a different variety of it and today I made a similar version of what I will be doing tomorrow. This is what I added today-IMG_6719[1]

Ingredients:

1 sliced orange

1 Cup Cranberries

4 Cinnamon sticks

2 Sprigs of Rosemary

1 Tsp of whole cloves

1 Tsp ground Nutmeg

8 Cups Water

I combine all the ingredients in a pot and the heat to high until it boils. That activates the ingredients. Once it starts to boil I lower the heat to a simmer and let it fill the house with amazingness. Keep an eye out on the water and fill it up when you see that water level dropping.

Tomorrow I will have the same ingredients that are listed above but I will add 1 sliced lemon and 2 tsp vanilla.

 

This is a great and natural way to have your house smell amazing.

 

Merry Christmas and live simple
