While I’ve been spending a lot of time on my health and wellness the past 6 months, I’m more laid back when it comes to my kids. Yes I feed them well during their main meals, but they definitely enjoy their share of snacks and treats throughout the day. I chalk it up to “pick your battles” and the fact that I grew up eating the same things and turned out okay. I know, I’m just justifying it to myself, but either way, it is what it is!<\/p>\n
When Alexandria*, my long-time hairdresser that comes to my house to do my hair (amazing, I know) spoke to me about collaborating together and showcasing some easy, delicious and healthy meals for the family, I jumped right on it. It’s something that while I don’t always practice in reality, it’s something that I do want to be better at. Since my boys all have a sweet tooth, I knew that it would be best to give them a healthier alternative that is packed with proteins.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Which is why I was excited that Alexandria suggested that we make her black bean chocolate brownies. It’s perfect for a snack (for school or after) to help them keep their energy levels strong throughout the day. Other benefits of consuming this brownie include magnesium, essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and blood sugar balancing.<\/p>\n
