Another adventure in breakfast-making...  This one was not as successful as the banana oat bars, which I absolutely love, but I still like this one nonetheless!  It's certainly not as sweet; it has an almost salty punch to it, which I really like for some reason with the blueberry bottom.

I've been on this kick lately where I've been trying to get all my vitamins and minerals via food so that I don't have to take a multivitamin.  I sort of obsessively monitior my food intake and nutrition, so it's easy to track, though I know that most people are not anal-retentive or type-A enough to do this.  The best way to get varied vitamins ( Read more... )

I love this recipe.  Now, honestly, I don't know if I love it because it tastes good or because after I ate it, I had the most awesome workout ever!  It's got a ton of protein in a little package, and if you're like me and are trying to workout/train on a low-calorie vegan diet, this is pretty awesome.

This all started when I wanted to make ( Read more... )
