Okay, you all know how much I love pumpkin, right? Well, my newest obsession since training for a marathon is pancakes. Something so easy and simple yet so delicious after running 18, 20, or 22 miles! Especially with blueberries! Well I’ve recently found Fit Body Bakery High Protein Pancake Mix! Fit Body Bakery is dedicated to helping people meet their health and fitness goals in delicious ways. The mixes are packed with 6g+ protein per serving (11g for the pancake mix, more if you use egg whites instead of eggs!!) to satisfy hunger and keep you going all day long. The mixes are sweetened with coconut sugar and stevia, and made with 100% gluten free whole grains our mixes have no preservatives or artificial ingredients! Score all around! These pumpkin pie pancake bites are a healthy post run breakfast and something I can feel good about eating and feeding Zoey for her equally as bad pancake addiction! (and that recurring theme of pumpkin lately….) These are pumpkin pie snacks to eat anytime!

Well, my marathon is now over and I’m back in blog mode. Marathon training is time consuming! But I had so much fun accomplishing such a lofty goal - and finished with a smile on my face!

I had the opportunity to hook up with Peanut Butter & Co. - White Chocolate Wonderful anyone? They have a side company called Mighty Nut and have tons of awesome flavors! They just came out with powdered peanut butter, and I had the opportunity to try the Flax & Chia! Just delicious! I will be using this in a lot of my recipes, and definitely in my banana smoothies! I developed this no bake peanut butter apple bites recipe so I had easy, healthy snacks this week to munch on while I get back into my groove. Peanut butter and apples are probably one of my favorite snacks anyways, so why not make them into a snack bite?! These are perfect for kids, adults, and for on the go! And best of all, they are gluten free and vegan! Does it get any better than that?

I’m also hosting a mighty nut giveaway!! Find Mightynut on Twitter or Instagram (@GoMightyNut) and follow them, tweet about the giveaway (ex: I would LOVE to create recipes with @GoMightyNut! #EatMighty @fitapproach #sweatpink mightynut.com) or pin a photo from Mightynut.com!
