Trio Bars



I recently discovered this handy little snack and wanted to share it with you.  Trio bars are vegan, gluten free, non-GMO, dairy free, wheat free, and kosher.  They also have seeds, nuts, and dried fruits.  Perfect for keeping in the car or your purse.  If you have a nut allergy, I obviously would not recommend them!

You can order them from Amazon.com in their Subscribe & Save and shipping is free!  


Blueberry Avocado Smoothie

Blueberry Avocado Smoothie

"My secret for extra creamy smoothies? Avocado! One of my favorite foods with benefits. They have healthy fats, more magnesium and less sugar than bananas, so they make a great base ingredient for many breakfast smoothie recipes."—Gwyneth Paltrow
