Barlean’s sent me some amazing products to try out in some recipes. When I saw this energy blend with Flax, Chia, Coconut and Ginseng I knew I wanted to highlight the coconut.

My family is trying to add more protein to our diet while lessening the amount of sugar we consume. Now there is always some sort of Greek yogurt in the fridge. Greek Yogurt parfaits are wonderful for dessert, breakfast and snacks
