Almond Butter Caramels
*Lorie's recipe is adapted from recipe by Julia at www.pecanbread.com
4 tbs Organic Butter, ¾ Cup Honey, 4 tsp Vanilla, ¼ tsp Sea Salt, 1 Cup Almond Butter (or nut butter of your choice)
Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and cook on medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter is melted and ingredients are well blended. Pour into a lightly buttered 8" square glass baking dish. Put the dish in the freezer for 15-20 minutes or until the caramel is firm, but still soft enough to cut with a buttered knife or spatula. Cut caramel into bite-size pieces and serve or store them in the fridge.
I found
OneGreenMom when I was looking for a protein powder that wasn't full of
fillers, additives or preservatives--one that tasted good and was easy
to prepare. Vital Whey, the whey protein powder
OneGreenMom sells, fits the bill. Vital Whey
is a non-denatured whey protein that is minimally processed. Basically
you are getting the immune building and
regenerative components found in fresh, raw milk. Vital Whey comes from cows that are not treated with hormones, but get
to graze on chemical and pesticide-free grass. For all of you runners,
Vital Whey is a great way to recover and build muscle after a workout.
Another
product that OneGreenMom carries that would be a great way to boost your
workout and overall health is called Vitality SuperGreen. It's a green
powder full of various greens, vegetables, sea vegetables, and
probiotics...all the right combinations for
having a healthy ecosystem in your gut. Mix Vital Whey and Vitality
SuperGreen together and you've got yourself one powerhouse of a meal,
snack or workout recovery.
To celebrate the new partnership and the
season, OneGreenMom is offering High Clouders $5
off any order over $50 (not including tax, shipping and handling). Go
to www.onegreenmom.com/highcloud . The
discount will be applied when you checkout.
