    i have never met anyone who didn’t like pop tart i have never met anyone who didn’t like pop tarts growing up, have you?

let me introduce you to my adult version of this childhood favorite. i use lantanafoods Dark Chocolate Hummus as the filling and it was a dream come true 🍫 it adds just the right amount of sweetness, taking me right back to my childhood but without the sugar hangover 🤪

HOW TO MAKE ⬇️ 
1. cut two rectangles out of pre-made pie dough
2. add about 2 tbsp of hummus in the center and spread it out a little without going to the edges
3. press along the four sides with a fork
4. bake in the oven at 425 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until the dough is golden and fully baked through
5. cool slightly and enjoy!

    have you tried the shaved egg trend?! if you have have you tried the shaved egg trend?!

if you haven’t, give it a try! it makes the egg texture so light and fluffy when you bite into it. it’s a fun way to switch up your avocado toast for breaky 🍳🥑🍞

    i could eat this cake for breakfast every. single. i could eat this cake for breakfast every. single. day.

not only because its delicious but this protein chocolate cake is good for me too! there is no added flour, just protein powder combined with egg and banana to make the base. 

i used safeandfair chocolate protein powder (that’s also kid friendly) because it adds such a delicious flavor while also sneaking in some veggies! the protein powder has a nice texture, giving you a cake that’s moist and fluffy. 

want the full recipe? send me a message and i will share it with you 🍫🍰
