Healthy Tropical Breakfast Bars

My husband is always looking for new things to take to work for breakfast.  He needed something new.  Lately, he has been taking my banana muffins or pumpkin spice muffins, but this is definitely switching it up a bit.

That’s why I made these Healthy Tropical Breakfast Bars for him.  They have all the flavors of a pina colada.  Yes, please!  The perfect bite of sunshine to get you through these last cold days of winter.

I made mine with a coconut frosting, but you can totally eat them without it as well.  I used almond butter in my bars because that is what I had on hand at the time.  However, I think cashew butter may be even better.  I am definitely trying that next time!

These healthy muffins are vegan and gluten free.  Free of refined sugar, but full of flavor.  I added nice spices like the cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger that will leave your kitchen smelling like Fall.

I made my muffins jumbo sized, but you can make regular muffins as well.  However, the cooking time in the recipe will be for jumbo.  You need to cut down the cooking time for standard sized muffins.

Pumpkin Chai Smoothie

I know it’s kinda early for pumpkin, but to be honest, we eat it all year long.  The minute I tried this REBBL Ashwagandha Chai Coconut Milk Elixir, I knew it would be delicious with pumpkin.  I was right.  The warm spices from the Chai, pair perfectly with the pumpkin!

I had the pleasure of trying all the vegan flavors and they are delicious.  Perfect for take on the go, just like you would a coffee drink, but without the caffeine.  I really love the Maca Cold-Brew as an alternative to coffee drinks.  The maca root gives you sustained, non-jittery energy, and the taste is great too!
