Healthy chocolate muffins!? Is this a thing? Absolutely. I feel like I’ve been killing this muffin meal prep game. I love having these as a snack or before a workout. Mixed Berry Chocolate Protein Muffins are no exception. You satisfy your chocolate craving as a yummy breakfast or snack. I used my strawberry rhubarb compote to act as the berries, but feel free to use mashed raspberries instead; plus, I don’t know about you, but there’s something I love about the way blueberries bake into muffins.

Whole Foods has had a figs sale for the last few weeks and it’s been fantastic. (Perhaps “figtastic” is a better choice?) In honor of meal prep Monday, here’s Figs & Pecans  Overnight Oats. Overnight oats are some of my meal prep favorites, especially in the summer because it’s just as good cold.

I swapped in multigrain bread, egg whites and almond milk. The multigrain bread added a gnarly texture. Top with an easy berry sauce, maple syrup and powdered sugar. Great and easy brunch!

Ravenous for Rhubarb

It’s rhubarb season. Normally I have the luxury of enjoying fresh rhubarb back home in Maine. In Ithaca, I bought some rhubarb at the Farmer’s Market last weekend. While my family usually makes a simple rhubarb tart (a household favorite), my mom and I found this Strawberry Rhubarb Compote recipe from Skinny Taste a couple summers ago, when the rhubarb was abundant and seemed to eternally grow. The tartness of the rhubarb is perfectly balanced with sweet and juicy strawberries to make a sauce that perfectly pairs with yogurt, ice cream, pancakes, shortcake…the possibilities are endless! This compote is a necessary addition to your rhubarb repertoire. Continue reading “Ravenous for Rhubarb” →
