 I found this recipe from fellow Beachbody Coach Melanie Mitro . They were so easy to make only taking a total of 30 minutes. They are perfect for a little treat when you need one. As Melanie said, although they are clean, they still have sugar so only eat one or two. She suggests sticking the rest in the freezer to eat at a later time but I decided to give mine to my downstairs neighbor who is recovering from surgery. 




INGREDIENTS


2 ripe bananas

1 cup of quick oats

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1 heaping spoonful of natural peanut butter


DIRECTIONS

1. Mix all ingredients well in a medium size bowl
2. Scoop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes
4. Enjoy, share, save for later!

Trust me, I get it. In the past, the word detox meant spending an entire day in the....well you get the point. As I came to learn more about nutrition I began to understand that "detox" does not mean that you will not be able to leave your house for days, all it means is that you are cleansing your body of toxins in a healthy way.  I kid, I kid...my point is that the Fall Vegetable Detox Soup was the winner this week and eating it does not mean that you will have to cancel your plans for the day. I found this soup reci
