Put out the buffalo chicken beacon and I’ll be the first one there! And I feel like Super Bowl is one of the best days for all things buffalo chicken.

We are the epitome of busy. We have three girls ages 8, 5, and 3. My husband travels some for work. I am a nurse (not currently practicing). I run a business from my home helping people meet their fitness and nutritional goals. We workout daily. I grocery shop. I run monthly accountability groups for my clients. We prepare our meals fresh. We have even been known to do fitness competitions. My life is a constant whirlwind. I need a cleaning service. And a laundry service. Most days I don’t have time to prepare for what is thrown at me. But I’ve come to learn how important it is to…

Dark Chocolate Shakeology Granola Bars
It’s 10:00 pm. Do you know where your husband is? Mine’s in the pantry. Eating something with peanut butter. If it’s not him it’s me. Usually I need chocolate too. So I needed a solution. Something that would make for a good “late night bite” without feeling like I’m ruining the days nutrition. Sorry Ben and Jerry, but you guys don’t play fair. Last night I whipped these up and stick them in the fridge. My girls loved them for breakfast and I’m snacking on one as we speak.

Clean Eating Shakeology Granola Bars
