No Bake Energy Bites

My bestie found this recipe on Pinterest and we love it.  I tweaked it a little bit, but love it all the same!

Ingredients:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter, Almond Butter or Hempnut Butter

1/3 cup of Agave

1 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes

1/2 cup of ground flax

1/2 cup of non dairy mini chocolate chips

1 tsp vanilla

Mix together in a bowl and chill for a while in the fridge.  Roll into balls and you can refrigerate or freeze them.  Great for after school snacks!

Taco Salad

About a month ago, my bestie and I bought a bag of sprouted dried beans at Costco.  Since then, we have experimented, putting it into salads and other recipes.  It actually makes a great taco filling!  We used the following recipe tonight for dinner.

Vegan Taco Filling - serves a lot, and can be used as a chili

2 cups TruRoots Organic Bean Trio 

1 cup organic quinoa

1 green bell pepper chopped

1 onion chopped

3 pieces of garlic chopped

1 can of organic diced tomatoes

1/4 cup lawrey's taco seasoning

2 tsp organic coconut oil

Make the Organic Bean Trio and Quinoa according to the instructions.  Sautee the chopped bell pepper and onion in the coconut oil.  Put all of the ingredients into a crockpot and turn on high for one hour, then turn down to low, mix every hour or so, and let simmer.

Serve as tacos with corn tortillas or tortillas of choice.  Or, put on top of a salad of romaine.
