Starting the year off right…

Happy 2020! It’s been a while but I had a bit of time to blog today about this great recipe I found. We have been eating super clean over the last few weeks and starting the year off on the right foot! Lots of food prepping and sneaking in those veggies wherever we can. My husband Brendon and my daughter Lucy are both joining in on the food prep.

We also have really changed up our kitchen and I’m so excited to continue to meal prep and make some new dishes in my up to date kitchen! Hooray!

On the upper left, 2015 when we first moved in, the right and bottom are today, the *almost* finished after photos.

Today we made some “sweet green muffins”. They are sort of a smoothie and muffin recipe combined! Lots of spinach in there and you would never know it. Cheers to good health and yummy food in 2020. Eat up, friends.

Sweet green muffins

Ingredients

In a blender, mix until combined:

  • 4 cups baby spinach
  • 1 banana
  • 1/4cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 water
  • 1/2 c maple syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 c coconut oil

In a separate mixing bowl, combine:

  • 2 cups bobs red mill paleo flour (I haven’t tried other flours but try subbing here where needed)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup oats
  • 1/4 walnuts

Preheat oven to 375

Mix wet and dry ingredients together until well combined.

Evenly drop mixture into muffin tins and bake for about 18 min or until toothpick comes out clean. Let rest for 15 or so min for easy removal.

This recipe is great if you’re trying to eat vegan and can be gluten free! It’s loaded with fiber and good carbs and protein. Enjoy!
