Cacao Ball Recipe

GUILTY..... I made these on a whim

Totally made up the recipe....do y'all do that??

I am very brave in the kitchen and will constantly throw things together hoping they come out in one piece!!!

Here's a recipe that not only came out pretty well, my picky ass BF loved them.

Deets below, tell me if you make them!!


Don't ^^ those look amazing?!

Recipe:
- 1 cup of organic granola (or oats)
- Roughly half a cup of cashews (or another nut of your choice)
- 2-3 Tbsps of organic cacao powder
- 1 Tbsp of ground chia
- 2-3 Tbsp of homemade or organic peanut butter
- Almond milk to make it a paste consistency

I used my VitaMix to mix all ingredients ( except the coconut ) until the perfect consistency. I added in little by little the almond milk so I don't have an exact measurement there. 

Once blended and still a little chunky I used a small cookie scoop to make even perfect balls, stuck them in the fridge for 10-15m and there ya have it.

A super simple sweet treat that will most definitely satisfy your choc cravings

BTW I like them frozen best ;)

Recipe: Peanut Butter Protein Cookies


{{ Um, how amazeballs do those look??? ^^^ }}

heyyy yo. I am back with a delish and super simple healthy cookie recipe. So, since I no longer do processed foods/cookies { very rare } I like to find simple, healthy, small ingredient recipes that will satisfy my cravings. So here is a recipe I found on Instagram: @paigehathaway. She is a fitness freak like me who I get inspired by and follow!

So here's the recipe:


  • 1 cup of PB
  • I scoop of protein powder ( I used my About Time vegan chocolate flavor )
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tsp. coconut oil
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Dark Chocolate Topping ( Optional )

  • 1 Tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 Tbsp Hershey cocoa powder
  • 1 Tbsp chocolate protein
- Mix all ingredients in bowl or blender/VitaMix
- Bake for 10-15 minutes at 350
- Mine took a little longer though so just watch them


So here's how mine turned out! They don't look as delicious but they are still tasty!! I plan on freezing them and taking them out as needed. I didn't make the topping yet, I probably will as I take them out or just eat it with my frozen greek yogurt. If you make them tell me what you think!
