Day 12! Half way there! Hawaiian Chicken Salad and No Bake Energy BiteRecipes!

Today was a great day. I got to meet up with a friend for lunch. She is a great resource for me in healthy eating. Thank you Allison for today and for the energy bites recipe! They turned out great! We got to bounce ideas off each other on different recipes, ingredients, etc. It was great to hear, from her experience, what she likes to use and what works!

 Here is the recipe for the energy bites!

No Bake Energy Bites

1 cup dry oatmeal
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup ground flaxseed (or wheat germ)
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup + 1 tsp honey

Stir all ingredients together and roll into balls.
Chill for 30 minutes

OK- so here is a tip. Flaxseed- you can buy it at the store already ground up (which I did not know). So  I just bought the whole seeds... WHICH YOU HAVE TO GROUND. Google says to use a coffee grinder- but I do not have one! So I used my food processor and................. it took forever. But it eventually did work! Make sure you ground it up enough that the shell is broken.

After you roll them into balls- make sure to lick your fingers because you will have lots of gooey mixture on them- and its good :)

These are so good I think I might get addicted. But I will practice self control!! These will be a good alternative to fixing my sweet tooth after supper.

I tried to find some nutritional info on these- here is a "guess" of what the nutrition might be..

Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Salad

Here is the recipe!

-1 lb Chicken breasts/tenders
-BBQ Sauce

Preheat oven to 350. Line pan with tinfoil. Place defrosted chicken on pan. (If using frozen chicken-double cooking time). Drizzle chicken with BBQ sauce.

Place chicken in oven for 30 minutes or until chicken cooked all the way through. Flip chicken over half way through and drizzle other side with BBQ sauce.

Place chicken over salad. Top with tomato, onion, avocado, and pinneaple! YUMMY!
