My most popular post of all time is the recipe for Arbonne Protein Bars. I'm not surprised—they're easy and delicious!

2 of the ingredients, however, aren't compliant with a strict 30 day challenge. While I haven't found a swap to make them fully compliant, I've found a new and improved way to make these with only one forbidden ingredient: honey! They satisfy my sweet tooth and are a way cleaner option than most desserts. I follow the program at about 80% now and honey is one of the ingredients I let slide, especially since I only generally have it in these protein balls.

The chocolate version is very similar to the original bars, using almond butter in place of peanut butter. The kick of cinnamon in the vanilla version makes them equally satisfying. My hubby has been reaching for both since I started making them—let me know which variety you like best!

I've got something fun today for people who enjoy live entertainment, but perhaps not traditional musical theatre....

STOMP is arriving in Washington, DC later this month and I have a pair of opening night tickets to give away courtesy of Allied Media. 

STOMP is explosive, provocative, sophisticated, utterly unique and appeals to audiences of all ages. The eight-member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments – matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps – to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. 

The return of the percussive hit also brings some new surprises, with some sections of the show now updated and restructured, utilizing props like tractor tire inner tubes and paint cans. As USA Today says, 

“STOMP finds beautiful noises in the strangest places.” 

STOMP. See what all the noise is about by entering to win tickets below. Good luck!
