Honey Bunches of Oats Morning Energy

I have been trying to cute back on my caffeine intake recently, and was SO excited when I heard about new Honey Bunches of Oats Morning Energy! This is exactly what I need to wake up and get my morning started with 2 hyper little boys!  
The Morning Energy blend has 6g of protein and 5g of fiber which make for a great morning combination, and it tastes great! The Chocolatey Almond Crunch was definitely my favorite, but the Cinnamon Crunch was a very close second.

 

Check out this recipe if you want to try your Honey Bunches of Oats Morning Crunch in a new way! I am going to make some of these and keep them in my purse when we head out for our daily walk to keep me energized!

Morning Energy Mocha Balls:

Prep Time: 15 mins

Total Time: 1 hour, 15 mins

Ingredients:

1-1/4 cups Honey Bunches of Oats Morning Energy Chocolatey Almond Crunch cereal

1/2 cup walnut havles

1 teaspoon chia seeds

1 teaspoon flax seeds

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

4 Tablespoons almond butter

2 Tablespoons honey 

2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup

2 Tablespoons dried cranberries

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons espresso powder

1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt

1/4 cup toasted unsweetened coconut for rolling (optional)

Directions:

Place the cereal in a food processor (or smash with a rolling pin). Process until finely ground. Add walnut halves, chia seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, almond butter, honey, maple syrup, cranberries, vanilla, espresso powder, and sea salt into a bowl and process until well blended and mixture forms a stiff dough. Remove dough and form into a compact ball with your hands. Form dough into 1-inch balls and rolling toasted coconut, if desired. Place balls on wax-paper lined sheet and let stand for a hour or so, then transfer to a tin or container with a tight lid. The power balls will keep for at least a week at room temp, or they can be chilled. This recipe will make around 20 balls.

Getting Ready for Spring Break with Snapper Rock!

Once in a while i can get Casey to go to the beach with me. She is really concerned about her fair skinned children and the sun, which I completely understand. Recently we had the chance to check out Snapper Rock which provides sun protection swimwear for boys and girls. 

Snapper Rock swimwear provide an Ultra Violet Protection Factor of 50+ which is about as high as it goes!.  What makes the fabric provide sun protection is due to the fabric itself - the denser the weave of the fabric, the more sun protection it offers. Other factors such as color, and whether the fabric is wet or dry also play a part in the sun protection, but all Snapper Rock swimwear whatever the color, wet or dry blocks 98% of all harmful rays. So you can rest assured you children will not be getting sun burnt whilst wearing Snapper Rock.

We are planning a trip to the beach in a week or so to test it out, be sure to check back! 

I love that Snapper Rock offers UV Swimwear for both boys and girls. Even before I knew what UV swimwear was, I thought the little tight shirts were adorable on my boys, and then when I was out, another mom asked me where I got the UV shirt, and I had to ask her what she was talking about! Not only does Snapper Rock provide UV 50 swimwear, but it's also adorable. 

This is one of my favorite boys swim shirts, and at just $38, it's totally worth my peace of mind at the pool and at the beach!

Our top selling UV50 Swim Shirts block 98% of all harmful UVA and UVB rays. Mix n Match with our board shorts to create your own Snapper Rock style

• Quick drying, lightweight and breathable
• Flat lock stitching to prevent rubbing against skin

You can check out what Elizabeth is wearing here.

• 80% Nylon, 20% Elastane

Big G Retro Cereals at Target!

Cheerios are a family staple here in my  house. Derrick and I eat it for the health benefits, and the kids just love the way it tastes. When they saw the retro box, they were like "why is the box different?" It's cool to see the retro styles and know it's probably what my parents saw when they were young.

Lucky Charms is one of my all time favorite childhood cereals! The retro box is just adorable too. Lucky Charms have been around since 1964.

 Honey Nut Cheerios is one of the theme songs that gets stuck in your head! Since 1979 it's been a family favorite.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch, is the #1 cereal my boys can't live without. We go through 3 full size boxes a week! They eat it as a snack at night while watching movies, they put it on their ice cream, and of course breakfast.

Finally  1994 Reese's Peanut Butter Puffs was introduced, I had been married for a few years by then, and I remember trying them for the first time..Reeses has always been my favorite candy, so I was super excited to try it in a cereal form.

All these cereals you can find at your local Target, along with many other retail stores. Look for the new "old" Retro boxes of these and more of your favorite throw back cereals from General Mills.
