Ingredient List

Smoothie - makes 2 servings:

• 1 1/4 cup hemp mylk(or any milk of choice)
• 2 bananas or about 1 cup frozen bananas
• 2 Tbsp peanut butter (or any other nut/seed butter)
• 1/4 cup rolled oats
• 2 tsp maple syrup (or date syrup, coconut nectar)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Optional:

• 1 cup ice (if using fresh bananas)
• Protein powder - we like pea protein powder!
• Maca
• Frozen cauliflower
  

Add all ingredient to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy!

Pantry Granola:

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds
• 1/4 cup shredded coconut
• 1 Tbsp chia seeds
• 1 Tbsp flax seeds
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp coconut oil (melted)
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup
• 2 Tbsp dried fruit
  

Preheat oven to 300F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Melt the coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds, or in a small pot on the stove just until melted.

Mix all of the dry ingredients (except the dried fruit) in a bowl, then add in the maple syrup & melted coconut oil. Mix with a rubber spatula until everything is evenly coated.

Transfer the granola mixture to a parchment lined baking sheet and spread out into a thin, even layer.

Bake at 300F for about 20 minutes until the coconut & almonds are golden brown and the granola is dried out and a little bit stuck together. Allow to cool on the baking sheet, then combine with the dried fruit in a bowl.
