GF Cookies & Cream Energy Bars

Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook: 5 mins | Total: 25 mins

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup nut butter (almond, cashew, peanut or sunflower butter)
• 3/4 cup honey
• 3 tbs Cookies & Cream Leaner Creamer (or use your favorite flavor)
• 1 1/2 cups roasted raw nuts and/or seeds (almonds, pecans, walnuts, cashews, peanuts, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds - use your favorites in any combination!)
• 1 cup dried fruit (cherries, cranberries, blueberries, apricots, pineapple, raisins, use your favorite dried fruits in any combination)
• 4 cups gluten-free rice crispy cereal
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make:

1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place nuts and/or roasted seeds and dried fruit in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times, just until the mixture is coarsely ground.
3. In a large saucepan melt nut butter with honey over medium-low heat. Stir and watch carefully to prevent scorching. When the mixture is smooth and bubbling cook for about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add salt, Leaner Creamer and vanilla and stir to combine. Use a large spatula to stir in nuts, dried fruit, and cereal. Stir until all ingredients are coated with nut butter mixture.
4. Scrape mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use the spatula to evenly spread the mixture on the pan. Place a large piece of waxed paper over the mixture and use a rolling pin to smooth the top of the mixture. Cover with the waxed paper and refrigerate for about 2 hours before cutting the energy bars into whatever sizes you prefer.
5. Wrap bars in waxed paper and store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Don’t get us wrong, we love cream in our coffee too, but your daily cup of joe could be making you gain weight. It’s not the coffee you should be worried about, it’s what you’re putting into your coffee that’s doing damage.

A lot of cream users don’t think about the health risks because they use such a small amount. But If you think about it, the average cup of coffee with added cream can add 140 calories, 6 grams of fat and 24 grams of sugar in just one cup! Add a second cup a day and you’re already exceeding the maximum recommendation of daily sugar intake. If you’re an everyday coffee drinker, that’s nearly 4,200+ calories a month! In other words, that’s nearly an extra 15 pounds per year that you’re gaining just from the creamer you put into your coffee.

The good news? If you like creamer in your coffee, you don’t have to give it up. Check out a healthy coffee creamer alternative like Leaner Creamer! Leaner Creamer is a sugar-free, lactose-free and gluten-free creamer that’s still creamy and delicious without the guilt and added weight.

Here’s a quick look at other top selling creamers and the amount of junk in them that you should be aware of:

1. Dunkin’ Donuts Creamer (per tablespoon): 40 calories, 1.5g fat, 6g sugar
2. International Delight Creamer (per tablespoon): 35 calories, 1.5g fat, 5g sugar
3. Coffee Mate Creamer(per tablespoon):35 calories, 1.6g fat, 5g sugar

So, try Leaner Creamer today and find out why it’s the best weight loss coffee creamer on the market!

The simple answer to this is yes. Plain or unsweetened tea and coffee is keto-friendly. Before we dive into why unsweetened tea and coffee is okay to drink, let’s go over what a keto diet is in the first place.

Keto is short for ketosis. In short, it’s a low carb, high fat diet. It lowers blood sugar and insulin levels and shifts the body’s metabolism by burning fats rather than carbohydrates. It’s a restrictive diet that takes discipline in order to see weight loss results. The list of foods that need to be removed in your diet includes: sugar, grains, fruit, vegetables, unhealthy fats, alcohol and anything that is high in carbs. Focus on foods such as: meat, fish, eggs, butter, cheese, nuts and avocados.

In terms of beverages, unsweetened or plain tea and coffee is okay to drink. Remember that you don’t want to add any sugars or carbs into your diet. You have to be extra careful about what you add into your coffee. If you like your coffee with milk or sugary creamer, keep in mind this can add on nearly 13 or more grams of carbs. The good news is that there’s options for those that like to add flavor to the coffee while remaining keto-friendly. Try Leaner Creamer sugar-free, lactose-free and gluten-free creamers. With over ten different flavors there’s an option for all your cravings. Since Leaner Creamer is sugar free with very low carbs, it’s great for keto-diets and can help you reach your weight loss goals.

Although fasting can mean different things depending on your diet plan, the typical definition for intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating. There are a lot of different eating patterns called “fasting methods.” One is the 16/18 method, that involves skipping breakfast and only eating between 1pm-9pm followed by a 16-hour fasting period. Another common intermittent fasting method is the eat-stop-eat. This one involves fasting for 24-hours typically once or twice a week.

 No matter your fasting method, it can be easy to go without food but what about coffee? And if coffee is allowed, can you add anything to it without breaking the fast? Keep reading to find out what you can add to your coffee when intermittent fasting.

 For starters, it is said that coffee can be had while fasting since coffee is fat-free and almost no calories. However, what you put in your coffee does matter and can mess with your fasting if you’re not careful. In other words—if you don’t like to drink your coffee black, try adding in a creamer that’s low in calories or sprinkle in some cinnamon or nutmeg.

 Leaner Creamer is a great choice for those fasting because it contains zero sugars, no trans fats and very few calories! So, if you don’t like your coffee black but still want to drink coffee while fasting, try out one of our delicious creamy flavors to keep you fueled throughout the day.

 The good thing about drinking coffee while intermittent fasting is that it can actually help boost your metabolism and curb cravings to keep you from feeling hungry. Go ahead, pour-up and drink-up with Leaner Creamer!

If you’re thinking “oil in my coffee? That sounds weird,” you’re not alone but it’s actually good and may even help you lose weight! If you’re a coffee drinker, keep reading to find out about the benefits of adding coconut oil or a coconut oil creamer to your coffee routine.

 Although adding coconut oil alone will not directly cause you to lose weight, the health benefits of the oil can help aid weight loss when used alongside a healthy diet and exercise routine.

 Here’s a list of what adding coconut oil to your coffee can do for your health!

 1. Boost Energy: Coconut oil is a natural thermogenic food source. In other words, it generates heat in your body and when you consume it, it can help you burn more fat.

2. Improve Metabolism: The caffeine in coffee has already been proven to give your metabolism a push, but when you add coconut oil it helps to improve digestion. Combining coffee and coconut oil has a positive impact on your digestive system which can lead to weight loss from fecal matter and toxins in your intestines.

3. Increase Immune System: One unknown fact about coconut oil is that the main fatty acid found in the oil can help fight off germs and bacteria. Keeping you healthier for longer.

 Try using a coffee creamer that contains coconut oil. Leaner Creamer is a great choice for those that are looking to lose weight but don’t want to sacrifice good tasting coffee. The natural coconut oil creamer is sugar free, lactose free and gluten free. Order today for a happier and healthier tomorrow!

Summer is just around the corner and so is prolonged sun exposure! If you’re someone that loves to sunbathe, we want to make sure you’re doing it correctly in order to save your skin and your health. Keep reading to learn the steps of how to bathe properly this summer.

 1. Find an SPF of 30 or more. Always make sure you’re putting on sunscreen, no matter your age. Apply sunscreen within 15 minutes of going outside to ensure absorption. An SPF of 30 or more will block UVA and UVB rays, but not strong enough to completely block out the sun so you’ll still get a tan.

 2. Change positions frequently. If you’re laying down tanning, make sure you’re continuously changing positions to avoid sunburn and to make sure you’re getting a full and even tan.

 3. If you use an oil--use one with SPF. If you have to use a sunbathing oil. Make sure to use one infused with SPF. Although this should not replace your sunscreen, you can use an SPF infused oil to help you catch some more sun.

 4. Stay hydrated. Make sure you keep your water close while tanning. It’s important to keep your skin supple and hydrated while the sun is drying you out. Keep a chapstick nearby too!

 5. Seek shade every so often. If you’re tanning for more than 30 minutes. Make sure to seek shade every 30 minutes to give your skin and your body a break from the intense heat. This will also help you avoid heat rashes.
