overcoming challenges one day at a time

At Whole Foods yesterday, I made an incredible discovery.

Sunflower Seed Butter!

Because of my recent allergies to ~~all food~~ peanuts, tree nuts, soy, sesame, and gluten intolerance, I’ve been seriously missing some PB love in my diet. I’ve been unable to try and health-nut staple recipes involving nut butter because I’m allergic to nuts, however now I can eat all things nut butter!

I was scared it was going to be disgusting, but it actually tasted like peanut butter. It’s definitely not the same, but hey it’ll do :) I have numerous sunflower seed butter covered fingers last night… ;)

Right away, I knew that the first recipe I wanted to try was Fitnessista’s breakfast cookie.

I ended up with this deliciousness this morning :)

In my breakfast cookie:

1/3 cup gluten free oats
1 tbsp Organic Sunflower Seed Butter
1 tbsp brown rice vanilla protein powder
1/8 cup of flax milk
several generous shakes of cinnamon
1 tsp natrual maple syrup

Combine first three ingredients in a small bowl, making sure to break up SFSB to get a crumbly mixture.

Add in milk.

Spread out on a small plate and add cinnamon

Refrigerate overnight

Put in freezer for 5 mins in the AM.

Take out, add syrup, and ~~lick the plate clean~~ ENJOY :)
