These little suckers, my friends taste just as good as a candy bar!  For those of us healthy eaters they may even taste better! I think they do! I’ve even got my husband eating these for a post dinner treat. THAT means they’re really good!
Just take a date (get the “Fancy Medjool Dates” from Costco, they make this treat SO. MUCH. BETTER) and slice open down the middle. Remove the pit. Spread 1/2 T. almond butter (or peanut butter) down the middle. Line 4-5 chocolate chips down the center and put the date back together. Savor this treat with small bites! You will love it! You could even put these together and bring them with you as a portable snack!

This had been my favorite go-to bowl of oats lately. I am loving it. I got the idea from another blogger, but I can’t remember who!!! I’m so sorry! I’d really love to give credit where it’s due so if you’re reading this remind me of where I saw this bowl of oats!Â
Into the oats I stirred:
- 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
- cinnamin
- stevia
I topped the oats with:
- 4 sliced dates
- 1/3 sliced banana
- 1 T. chopped walnuts/pecans
- 1 T. almond butter
This bowl of oatmeal is outstanding and keeps me full for about 4 hours! I love it and have been eating it every day for the last week!

Oh my gosh, you guys, I feel just sick. I can’t find my garmin forerunner anywhere! I cannot run without that thing! It is here SOMEWHERE. I ran just under 7 miles on Saturday (and it was great, btw!) and then I came inside. I still had it when I came inside, so it is here somewhere. I seriously feel like I’m going to barf. I can’t just go buy another one. They’re expensive! And I have my longest runs coming up. Oh my. Ok, I’m going to stop whining about it and go start tearing my house apart. I’ll get back on here and let you know if I found it. Wish me luck.

ETA: I FOUND IT!!!!! I knew I had it when I was downstairs strecthing on Saturday so it had to be there. I just started cleaning up the toy room and lo and behold, there is was on the floor! Hurray! My heart was beating and I almost started crying I was so relieved! Ok, now I’m off to have a great day!
