New year, new you. That’s all we’ll be hearing for the next few weeks, am I right? A focus on dieting, weight loss, getting ‘back on track’ after the holidays….all of which are debbie-downer topics, in my opinion.

Everyone is so cheerful and spirited during the holidays and then as soon as midnight strikes on December 31st people become so intense and hard on themselves. No more fun, no more merriment. Just gym sessions, strict eating regimens, and lots of structure.

Well I am here today to help you carry that holiday happiness into the New Year! What better way to ring it in than with NEW SNACKS. Forget changing your body, ‘fixing’ yourself, or going on some cleanse. The ONLY healthy change you need to make in your life right now is to SHAKE UP YOUR SNACKS!

Let’s face it, we ALL get into ruts with our snack routines. We get hooked on a certain combo or food and then eat it monotonously everyday or even several times during the day. People, you can only eat so many carrots with hummus!!

It’s time to take boring, bland snacks to the next level. Let’s make 2017 the year of the DELICIOUS snacks that are HEALTHY for you too! I promise that with the recipe I’m sharing today, snack time will be your new favorite time of the day. It sure is mine, after all!

There’s a few key criteria that a snack has to have in my eyes. It’s gotta taste good. It’s got to have a healthy balance of carbs, proteins, and fats. It’s got to be easy to eat on-the-go. And it has to be satisfying. BONUS if it has chocolate.

Fudge Graham ZonePerfect Nutrition Bars hit every one of those requirements and they are what inspired my latest snack recipe. May I present….FUDGE RIPPLE S’MORES MUFFINS!

OMG. You guys. I don’t say this often but I’ve outdone myself. I am actually hesitant to call these muffins because they are so darn CUPCAKE-like. But for the sake of snacking…we’ll stick with the muffin moniker.

They’re light, fluffy, and SO CHOCOLATEY! They’re made with oat flour making them gluten-free and whole-grain, full of protein from the chopped up ZonePerfect pieces, and have all the taste of a traditional campfire S’mores without all the sugar!
