Gluten Free Peanut Butter & Jelly Bites

Peanut Butter and Jelly...those words just scream "childhood" to me! I'm not a big sandwich person but I LOVE PB&J sandwiches! Scott & I were talking about them a few weeks ago and decided to make them into bites to take on our hike with us. They are the perfect cravings buster and great to give you a little boost of energy (just don't eat all of them!). Not to mention, these are perfect for kids. Who said that PB&J had to be a sandwich? Put some of these in their lunch box and mix it up a bit - I bet they even like these better! They are easily made gluten free by using gluten free oats.

PB&J BITES

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cup gluten free quick cooking oats (or rolled oats - see below)
• 1 cup natural peanut butter
• 1 1/4 cup organic raisins
• 1 1/2 - 2 tsp vanilla extract (avoid HFCS)

*If using rolled oats or extra thick rolled oats add approx 1 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce.

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor
2. Add 2-3 Tbsp warm water to mixture and pulse a few more times until ingredients start sticking together
3. Spoon out onto parchment paper
4. Chill until ready to eat

Makes approx 25 Balls.

Enjoy!

This is so good! I've been eating this lately as my "last meal" before bed. It really satisfies my sweet tooth and provides the protein I need. I have even used it as "icing" on the chocolate protein bars and clean cookie cake!

Eat Clean Recipe: Four Ingredient Protein Pudding

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 scoop of protein powder
• 1 small scoop stevia
• 1 Tbsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients together until combined.
2. Place in refrigerator for approximately one hour or the freezer for 30 minutes.

He and She Tip: If you want the consistency to be more like ice cream, freeze it for at least an hour. If you want the consistency to be more like icing, refrigerate it for at least an hour.
