slow cooked chicken gnocchi soup

Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (~1–1.5 lb.)
- 1/2 yellow sweet onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 celery stalk, diced OR 1/2 tsp celery salt ( my preference is the celery salt)
- 1/2 cup carrots, shredded
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 (16 oz.) package potato gnocchi
- 3 cups fresh baby spinach, tightly packed

Instructions:
• Use sauté mode on the cooker to lightly brown both sides of the chicken breast
• Add in chicken broth, onions, garlic, celery salt, carrots and seasonings : basil, Italian seasoning, ground nutmeg, bay leaf and salt and pepper.
• Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
• Remove chicken & shred
• Discard bay leaf
• Add chicken back to the slow cooker
• Pour in heavy cream, add gnocchi and cook on high for 30-45 minutes or until the gnocchi is tender and the soup has thickened.
• Turn off the slow cooker. Toss in spinach, cover and let it sit in the residual heat until the spinach has wilted into the soup.

I like to serve this with garlic bread / bread sticks . Some sort of bread to dip in it. Freezes well ! Just add a bit of milk when reheating to bring it back to life.

Chocolate Truffle Protein Wake Up Snack

Scroll to the bottom for the original recipe. In this version I increased the apple sauce & added in some chocolate protein powder. For an even more nutrient packed breakfast snack.

Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats (measure before blending)
- 1 tbs cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup no sugar added peanut butter
- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbs flax seeds

• blend oats after measuring for a smoother texture. Otherwise just throw it all in a bowl and mix it up. I portioned ours out with a cookie scooper & stored them in the fridge in a glass air tight container.
