Need a healthy grab n’ go breakfast? Make these delicious Chunky Monkey Paleo Breakfast Bars for the perfect way to satisfy your early morning appetite! Gluten-free and grain-free too!

Need a healthy grab n' go breakfast? Make these delicious Paleo Chunky Breakfast Bars for the perfect way to satisfy your early morning appetite! Gluten-free and grain-free too!

“This Post is sponsored by Rootz Nutrition, as always opinions stated are my own.”

It’s a texture thing, that’s all. You can pretty much eat bars for every meal too. Like bars in savory form for lunch and dinner or bars in sweet form for dessert, snack and of course, BREAKFAST! Moral of the story, bars are awesome.

Now you see where I’m going with this right? Breakfast bars. These Pumpkin Coconut Breakfast Bars happen to be one of our most popular recipes so it was time to recreate them with a different flavor combo and with the addition of protein powder, but not just any protein powder, Rootz Nutrition Paleo Protein-Superfood.

You see, I am veryyyyy picky when it comes to protein powder. I won’t go near protein powders that contain any preservatives or artificial sweeteners. I saw Rootz protein powder online, read the clean ingredient list and knew I had to give it a try. After trying Rootz in a smoothie for the first time, I was hooked. Not only is it free of GMO’s, gluten, dairy, soy, artificial ingredients and colors, but it also tastes so good AKA what protein powder should taste like! I knew it would go perfect in this breakfast bar recipe that I have been dreaming up for a while and add some amazing nutrients as well.

So now let’s talk about these chunky monkey breakfast bars. Even though they are called breakfast bars, they all make a delicious pre/post workout snack too! They are super easy to make and made with:

Pecans or nuts of choice

Unsweetened coconut flakes

Rootz Chocolate Banana Nut Protein Powder

Almond Butter

Banana

Coconut oil

Chunky Monkey Paleo Breakfast Bars

These make-ahead Chunky Monkey Breakfast Bars are so easy to make with real food ingredients and are filled with the delicious flavors of chocolate, banana and nut butter. They are the perfect high-protein and nourishing breakfast or snack and are also paleo, grain-free and gluten-free!

Can you believe that we started Athletic Avocado two years ago? It seems like yesterday when we were writing our first post. God has blessed us with this blog and we are so thankful for all the support you guys have given us!

Athletic Avocado would not exist if it weren’t for awesome readers like YOU! We also recently just celebrated our 21st birthday, so of course we had to make something real good for ya.

This banana bread fruit pizza screams “Athletic Avocado.” If you have been following us for awhile, you know sweet pizzas are kinda our thing. From zucchini to pumpkin bread to apple pie to peach pie to strawberry lemon, we’ve done it all. Or so we thought.

We were figuring out what to make for the blogiversary, and it hit us that we have never made a banana bread version of our favorite kind of recipe. Like how did we miss that? Banana bread is the BEST kind of bread ever? #amirightoramright?

So of course we had to make this banana bread version and top it will ALL the toppings for this special celebration! This is actually our favorite breakfast/dessert pizza of all-time, well so far anyways…

Unlike the other sweet pizzas we’ve made, this one serves 2, not 1 but it’s a GIANT serving for two people, so more pizza=more fun. You can honestly eat it for any meal because it’s that good and good for ya.

We split it for our birthday breakfast but wished that we made another one for that day because we loved it so much and wanted it for dessert.

This Pizza’s got three fantastic layers that will make you swoon:

Banana Bread crust made with coconut flour

Strawberry cream cheese frosting

Toppings consisting of sliced fruit, nuts and CHOCOLATE

Roasted Grapefruit Baklava Greek Yogurt Breakfast Bowl

April 17, 2016 by Bethany 57 Comments

Looking for a flavorful and filling breakfast bowl? Try this Roasted Grapefruit Baklava Greek Yogurt Breakfast Bowl! Vegan & Paleo friendly!

I’ve been in need of a serious breakfast change, like ASAP. You see, I’ve been a little too comfortable with my daily breakfast routine. Not that its unhealthy or boring or anything like that, I’m just a creature of habit.

I basically feel the need to eat the same breakfast everyday because its satisfies my hunger (and soul), tastes good, and gives me tons of energy before working out. I told myself that I would never get old of it, but that feeling is going away. Out with the old and in with the new.

Insert this breakfast bowl. It’s still a yogurt bowl with nuts and fruit like I usually have, but better. You could argue that its a variation of the breakfast that I usually eat, but I’m a sucker for breakfast bowls!

Now until this recipe, I never had grapefruit on top of yogurt. I even thought it was super weird to begin with, but I trusted my heart and went with it.

Roasting the grapefruit makes it sweet and even better then when its raw. I’ve literally been obsessed with roasting fruit since this Roasted Banana Split Breakfast Bowl, because it makes all the difference.

Add a baklava-like topping of chopped pistachios, walnuts, golden raisins and honey, sprinkle on some chia seeds, and enjoy this filling dessert-like breakfast!

There is no better way to start your day off than with this hearty and delicious bowl of Frothy Chai Spiced Oatmeal with Apple noodles! Also Vegan and Gluten-free!

Do you guys have the most perfect food that you could eat for every meal and not get bored of it? Thats the relationship that me and oatmeal have. I love that fact that you can dress oatmeal up with tons of beautiful toppings or make it simple when you are feeling like a plain jane. You can top it with tons of chocolate and dessert like toppings just like froyo, or you can add pesto, avocado and a runny egg to make it savory. Seriously, oatmeal is the classic black dress of the breakfast world, it never goes out of style!

I absolutely love experimenting with new oatmeal toppings because they always end up in a success! This particular idea came to me on a cold, snowy Monday morning My apartment is sans heat right now, so I’ve basically been wearing a jacket and two pairs of fuzzy socks!

I was craving a nice big and hot bowl of oats that would warm me up and comfort my heart! The idea of a big mug of chai tea makes me feel cozy inside, so I added it to this beautiful oatmeal bowl!

Because I’m always a hangry monster in the morning, I added nuts for healthy fats and apples for extra fiber to keep me full all morning!

I spiralized the apples because everything in noodle form is more fun! Having this hearty bowl of Frothy Chai Spiced Oatmeal with Apple Noodles is sure to get your day off to the right start.

My favorite type of oats to use is Quaker® Oats Old Fashioned Oatmeal because they are the most filling and soak up the most liquid and flavor! So when I was asked to share a Bring Your Best Bowl recipe for Quaker® Oats, I knew I had to use them!

You could always sub in Quaker® Instant Oats Maple Brown Sugar and Original Flavors or Quick One Minute Quaker® Oats! Either way, your bowl will be just as delicious!

All you gotta do is go to Target, gather up all your ingredients, and make this comforting and hearty bowl of oatmeal ASAP! Sounds easy enough, right? And guess what?

You can enter in the Bring Your Best Bowl Sweepstakes to win $250,000 if you create a tasty bowl of oatmeal that has between 2 and 5 ingredients!

Yup, thats right folks! If you win, your creation will be created and sold in stores for a limited time in fall 2016! So what are you waiting for? For more info, visit the National Bring Your Best Bowl Sweepstakes!

Cinnamon Apple Noodle Breakfast Bowl with Candied Nuts

December 27, 2015 by Bethany 55 Comments

This Cinnamon Apple Noodle Breakfast Bowl with knoc your socks off! Yes I said apple noodle (that is , noodles made from apples).

Lets talk about the best tangible gift you’d ever received (because being a Christian, I would say the best intangible gift is the birth of Christ). If you asked me this question two years ago, I’d say my MacBook Pro. If you asked me when I was five, I’d say my mint-colored ferbie. Unfortunately ferbies don’t exist anymore and have been beaten out by cooler toys these days, so lets move on.

Last year when my mom asked me what I wanted, I said nothing. Ever since I grew out of my teenage years, I don’t feel the need to ask for 55 things I want for Christmas. I get so much more joy giving than receiving! However, after thinking for a few days, I realized that I was itching to make zoodle recipes after the zoodle craze had just begun.

Hence my love for this amazing hand-cranked machine begun. I love making zoodles, and gladly replace them with pasta any day. With so many zoodle recipes all over healthy blogs these days, I wanted to create a more sweet breakfast-like recipe using a spiralizer.

I always use apples in my breakfast, whether it be a yogurt parfait or oatmeal. Instead of chopping them up, I made them into noodles for fun. And instead of just sprinkling with plain nuts o top, I made candied nuts that are made in the microwave!

This breakfast bowl requires little effort and leads to a tasty and filling dish when paired with Stonyfield greek yogurt! Are you vegan or paleo? Don’t worry! You can sub coconut yogurt to enjoy this beautiful yogurt bowl! Its also gluten-free and grain-free!

Sticky Bun French Toast Rollups

December 17, 2015 by Bethany And Rachel 35 Comments

These Sticky Bun French Toast Rollups will soon become your family new favorite and special way to eat breakfast!

I vividly remember a Mother’s day a few years ago when I forgot to my Mom a gift the night before so I thought it was a great idea to make her sticky buns for the next morning at 11:30 pm. It was all going pretty well until I put them in the oven and fell asleep somehow, needless to say I woke up two hours later after I smelled something burning.

My mom woke up and asked me what that smell was, at least she appreciated the effort! It took me about an hour to clean up and on Mother’s Day morning I went to the local supermarket and bought sticky buns. It’s clear that making sticky buns is not my happy memory for me, until now. Yes friends, the French Toast Rollups are back in action, and these are the best yet!

Sticky Bun French Toast Rollups are my favorite kind of French Toast Rollup, sticky bun filling rolled up in bread and then dipped in egg wash and pan-fried in a skillet, then topped with honey or rolled in cinnamon-sugar.

Now if you think that sounds and looks amazing, wait until you try it! After one bite, you’ll never want regular french toast again. You can thank me later!

Fluffy Strawberry Coconut Muesli Pancakes

June 16, 2015 by Bethany And Rachel 6 Comments

You can try to disagree with me, but we all know breakfast food is the best food. If I could I’d probably eat breakfast for every meal, and I may or may not have done that before (guilty as charged). To me, out of all the breakfast food/ingredients in the whole wide world, oats are definitely the best.

There is so much variety of flavors and variations that you can make with oats! It doesn’t always have to be just in oatmeal form, it can be help fluff up pancakes with fiber, be the main ingredient in granola, or create an added texture in smoothies.

The one product that contains oats and is super new to me is Muesli. I’ve never heard it until Nature Valley kindly sent me two of their new products: Toasted Oats Muesli Originial and Toasted Oats Muesli Blueberry. If you were like me a few days ago, your probably questioning to yourself what the heck it is.

To me, muesli is like a mix between unclustered granola and toasted oats. It can be served cold like cereal, or it can be mixed with water or milk and cooked in the microwave or stove like oatmeal! So basically, its the best of both worlds!

Its a great whole grain breakfast that contains a delicious blend of whole rolled, oven-toasted oats, fruits, nuts and seeds lightly sweetened to perfection! Think of it as nature’s essentials- just a few simple ingredients mixed into a delightful texture! Its great tasting while fueling your body for the day ahead of you! There are 5 grams of fiber and 6 grams of fiber per half cup serving!

Strawberry Coconut Muesli Pancakes

Nature Valley Toasted Oats Muesli is a great addition to pancakes! It lends a crunchy, sweet texture so you don’t need any sugar! It also adds extra fiber and protein to keep you full until lunch!

Strawberry Coconut Muesli Pancakes

Makes 4-5 Pancakes

1/2 cup oat flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup sliced strawberries
2 egg whites (or a flax egg for vegan option)
1/4 cup plain greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for vegan option)
1/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup Nature Valley Toasted Oats Muesli
2 Tbsp. shredded unsweetened coconut
sliced strawberries (optional)

Combine first seven ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until until fully combined.
Place mixture into a bowl and mix in muesli and coconut.
Lightly coat a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium low-heat. Drop batter by 1/4 cup onto skillet. Add a sliced strawberries on top. Cook until bubbles appear on top. Flip cakes and cook until golden brown on underside. Wipe skillet clean and repeat with more cooking spray and remaining batter.
Top with pureed strawberries (instead of maple syrup), more shredded coconut and Muesli!

Paleo Banana Nut Donut Holes

March 15, 2015 by Bethany And Rachel 10 Comments

My favorite muffin flavor is banana nut (igf your’e wondering my motivation behind making these banana nut donut holes). There is just something about it that makes the world go round! My mom used to by the prepackaged banana nut muffins for my lunch in middle school and they were the highlight of my day (I hated middle school!!). They were no where near healthy, with artificial banana flavoring and a chock-full of sugar (yuck I do not know why I ate them!)

I have made a few types of muffins the past few days so it was time to recreate something else. Banana nut munchkins came into my mind and they are amazing! They literally taste like a banana nut muffin transformed into a donut!

Now you can eat dessert for breakfast with this Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Brûlée!

Peanut Butter and Chocolate is a match made in heaven, now PB, Chocolate and Creme Brûlée, now thats a step above! I wanted to combine these three things into one healthy breakfast, Oatmeal brûlée, clean, healthy, and tastes like the real thing without the loads of fat and refined sugar.

I never ever used refined sugar in my recipes, so when Karis Naturals sent me some of their raw bolivian cane sugar AKA Chancaca, I knew i had to make this brulee. Chancaca is rich in natural molasses and unlike refined sugars, it retains all of its natural mineral content and nutritive properties .

Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Brulee

This all natural sugar is way sweeter than refined sugar, so you can use way less and have an amazing taste, just like brown sugar. I would suggest that you go buy this stuff because it’s amazing, really an honest opinion.This baked oats is Chocolatey as can be and filled with a creamy peanut butter concoction and topped off with some Bolivian Raw Cane Sugar.
