Despite attempts to avoid cooking at all costs in the past, I have succumbed to this new passion of mine…fervently!!
There’s something addicting to whipping up a new concoction in the kitchen with my own hands, and making it into brilliant deliciousness (with just the occasional failure, right!?).
This was one of my first recipes I tweaked and mastered over the course of the past year, inspired as a pre- or post-workout snack in between practices for my husband.
If you’re in a rush, it’s perfect to grab with a cup of coffee to go in the morning, too!
Here is the magic recipe…
