Looking for more creative options to fill your lunch bag? Packed lunches don’t have to be confined to sandwiches and green salads. This cauliflower tabbouleh salad took about 5 minutes to prepare, doesn’t require cooking, and a big batch can last several days throughout the work week for no fuss lunches.

Ingredients:

  • Riced cauliflower
  • Cherry tomatoes – halved
  • Cucumber – chopped
  • Parsley – chopped
  • Lemon juice and zest
  • Olive oil 
  • Salt and pepper

Directions:

Mix riced cauliflower, tomatoes, cucumber and parsley in large bowl. Add plenty of lemon juice and zest, a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper and stir to combine. 

Tip:

To save on time, buy cauliflower already ‘riced’ from the grocery store. This salad pairs nicely with a chicken breast, which you can also buy pre-cooked from the deli counter if you’re crunched for time. 

]]> 6646 Peanut Butter Bites https://truefunctionfitness.com/food/peanut-butter-bites/ Tue, 18 Feb 2020 06:03:00 +0000 http://ld-wp.template-help.com/wordpress_62222_default-sample/?p=13

If you’re a peanut butter fan, these sweet treats might be your new favorite snack. With only two-ingredients, peanut butter bites couldn’t be any easier to make. They’re a portable energy boosting snack that you can toss in your bag for hectic days and eating on the run. They also make a delicious, simple dessert (great with a cup of herbal tea) on those nights when you simply want something sweet… and the best part is, you know exactly what they’re made of.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 heaping cup unsalted roasted peanuts
  • 8-10 dates, pitted
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions

In a food processor, pulse peanuts until broken up into small pieces. Add dates (and salt if using) and pulse until combined into a dough-like paste. Roll into bite-sized balls and store in an airtight container. If using a high-powered blender instead of a food processor, it may be helpful to split the recipe into two batches. Makes approximately 12 peanut butter bites.

Optional step: pulse a handful of peanuts into fine pieces, pour onto a plate and roll the completed date bites in the powdery mixture for an extra peanut crunch.
