Key Lime Pie Parfaits – For breakfast or a healthy dessert!

By

If you’re stuck in a rut eating the same old oatmeal, yogurt, or eggs for breakfast… shake things up with this ridiculously delicious Key Lime Pie Parfait. It’s creamy, tart, and full of fiber and nutrients that will keep you satisfied all morning long. These parfaits make a yummy cool summer treat! 

The secret to this recipe is the avocado!

That’s what gives it a rich and creamy texture that is soooo decadent. If you’re worried about the amount of fat in an an avocado, don’t be! Avocados are packed with healthy fats that have been shown to protect the heart and are also a good source of fiber and fat-soluble nutrients such as Vitamin E. You see, you need to eat fat in order to absorb all of the healthy goodness and antioxidants from the avocado, so it’s all good! 

To get started, you’ll just need a blender and a few simple ingredients… 

Add one peeled and pitted avocado, ¼ cup of culinary coconut milk, a couple tablespoons raw honey, a pinch of salt, and the juice and zest of one lime to your blender. Whip the ingredients until well blended and creamy…

I like to serve this key lime pie mousse with crunchy granola… but, I don’t bother with buying those pre-made boxes of granola at the store, because they are usually full of GMOs, refined sugar and inflammatory oils. Instead I make my own delicious granola that only takes about 5 minutes to prep for the oven! Get my homemade granola recipe here.

To assemble your parfait, scoop about a quarter cup of granola into a cup and top it with a quarter cup key lime pie mousse. Repeat the granola and mousse layers once more. Enjoy! Mmmm….crunch, crunch, crunch….

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
