Breakfast Smoothie in a bowl 
(packed with protein, carbohydrates, fiber, and only natural sugars, this meal is great for morning run recovery!)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or skim/soy)
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1/4 frozen banana
1/2 cup of your fruit of choice (blueberries, strawberries, plums, peaches, etc)
1/2 cup uncooked old fashioned oats

Blend all ingredients till a smooth consistency.  Pour in a bowl, add a spoon and enjoy!

Almond Date Balls AMAZING - powersnack,
( great dessert, great to bring to parties/get-togethers!)
1 ½ cups almonds, soaked and dehydrated (or use dry, unsoaked)
½ cups walnuts, soaked and dehydrated (or use dry, unsoaked)
1 ½ cup dates
¼ teaspoon almond extract
½ cups dried cherries or raisins

Grind ½ cup of the almonds into a fine powder and set aside.
In a food processor outfitted with an “S” blade, process remaining almonds and the walnuts until coarsely ground. Add the dates and almond extract and process until the mixture sticks together. Add the cherries or raisins and pulse to mix.

Form the mixture into tablespoon size balls and roll in the powdered almonds.

Refrigerate for 2 hours to set.

 This was the recipe list from a website but based on my own experience just do 1 part nuts, 1 part dates, and a little bit of almond/vanilla extract, throw in some berries if you want, roll in what you want
***Use any kind of nuts you want. I stick to almonds some like a mix with walnuts or pecans.  
***Add a handful of any kind of dried berries - cranberries, blueberries, goji berries, cherries etc. (all amazing antioxidant powers!)

***Roll date balls in coconut, sesame seeds, crushed nuts, whatever you can think up!
*** Add spices to the mix if you want
