Amaranth Superfood Porridge

Early mornings on the beach when the sky is pink and so is my breakfast 💕 I started the week with an AMARANTH superfood porridge! Amaranth is rich in protein and a good source of vitamins and minerals. It is similar to a hot cereal and a quinoa, and adding sweet/savory flavors really brings this grain to life. Filled this bowl with sunbutter, blueberry coconut yogurt drizzle, cocolate covered hemp seeds and agave with a few dried rose petals.

Cashew Poppy Seed Cookies

Baking is not normally my go-to in the kitchen. I tend to gravitate towards preparing raw desserts (lately) and savory dishes however, these Cashew poppy seed cookies blew my mind. They were so easy to create in my little kitchen and were absolutely delicious! I almost devoured them all while trying to take a good picture.  Anyways, these cookies are a great alternative to store-bought cinnamon rolls, often loaded with preservatives and artificial sweeteners. Prepare, bake for 20 minutes and enjoy warm with a chilled glass of milk.
