Granola Moms, This One’s for You
Three recipes to make next week easier
June is when things start to get crazy. Moms, you know. There are field days and spirit weeks and half days. Before we went out of town over the weekend, I made a big batch of granola bars to take with us on the road. I love keeping them on hand during crazy weeks like these. Throw them in a bag (mine or my kids) and you have the perfect snack with only good-for-you ingredients when you need it. I’ll be making more this weekend and sharing inspo with you below.
My trainer just launched a new flavor of his electrolyte. My kids and I love it. Use code MELISSA15 for 15% off!
The other day I shared my go-to press outfit. Do you have a uniform?! It makes getting ready so much easier. One less thing to worry about.
Speaking of, here’s my daily uniform. (It usually includes a tie-dye tee shirt, too. I make those myself; here are all the supplies if you want a fun summer activity.)
I’m trying to eat more protein, so I started eating breakfast and adding these basil seeds to Greek yogurt. I also add maple syrup, vanilla paste, and a little salt because I don’t like Greek yogurt 😅
