Chocolate Salted Caramel PB Protein Balls

This is the most popular seasonal flavor at Shaklee and we sold out in record speed. We are all voting to bring it back as a regular in stock flavor. It’s that good, I’ve been buying it off clients. lol I almost hate to waste it on protein balls because you use ⅔ of a cup, but it’s not optional in my household. Once they tasted it, they will not cave; this is a MUST!

INGREDIENTS:

2/3 cup salted caramel life shake

1/2 cup of almond flour

2-4tbsp of maple syrup (Depends on how sweet you like it)

6 tbsp milk of your choice

1/4 cup of natural peanut butter

1/4- 1/2 cup of peanut powder (I use PB fit)

Toppings:

1/2 cup- 3/4 cup semi-sweet Chocolate chips

2tsp coconut oil

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Mix all the ingredients together (except the topping). If too dry add in a bit more milk to make mixture thick enough to roll into balls.

2. Roll into 1 inch balls and place them on a parchment paper.

3. Place in freezer for 30 min.

4. While the protein balls are in freezer, melt the chocolate chips and coconut in a microwaveable bowl for 1 min and 30 sec. Stir every 30 min.

Cinnamon Coffee Cake

I think about “daily deposits” during my day and thought I’d share this with you in case it helps you think of how to improve each day by 1% more.

When you make a decision that you don’t have time for breakfast, your commute is more important than your nutrition, that other mornings are more valued than your own, in your workouts are in the way … you put mini deposits in the bucket of your mindset saying YOU AREN’T ENOUGH, OR UNWORTHY. That you don’t deserve enough.

But the truth is, YOU DESERVE IT ALL, AND MORE.

This cinnamon coffee cake recipe is the perfect sweet treat to kickstart your day. Add this one to your meal plan!

Add cocoa powder and remaining 1 tsp. cinnamon to a sifter (or wire mesh strainer) held over the baking dish; sift to evenly coat. Spoon remaining batter over top, using a spatula to spread evenly into corners.

7. To make topping: add oats, pecans, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon to a small mixing bowl; stir to combine. Sprinkle evenly over batter.

8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into 6 equal pieces.

Healthy Carrot Cake Oatmeal Cookies

Yields: 14 cookies

These cookies taste just like their namesake! Lots of sweet carrots coupled with the hearty oats and cinnamon makes them absolutely irresistible. Store leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for up to a week… If they last that long

Ingredients:
1 cup instant oats

¾ cup whole wheat flour (or GF*)

1 ½ tsp baking powder

1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon

⅛ tsp salt

2 tbsp coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup pure maple syrup

¾ cup peeled & grated carrots ~1 small - medium

Directions:

1. In medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, egg, and vanilla. Stir in the maple syrup until thoroughly incorporated. Add in the flour mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Fold in the carrots. Chill dough 30 minutes. (If chilling longer, cover with plastic wrap, ensuring it touches the entire surface of cookie dough.)

2. Preheat oven to 325°F, and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

3. Drop cookie dough into 14 rounded scoops on the baking sheet. Flatten slightly using a spatula. (They don't spread much) Bake at 325°F for 12-15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.

Will you try these? What tweaks would you make? I love carrot cake without nuts so I really like these!

Maple Cinnamon White Chocolate Chip Donuts!

Omgggg, don’t walk, run! Or click, in this case. You want these. You NEED these. You will not regret these! How often can you say that about donuts?? And they’ll satiate your sweet tooth and indulgence desires. We enjoyed them on a Sunday before church and I was worried the kids would struggle through an hour of church and being well behaved. Anyone else get me? My belly was very happy and there was ZERO sugar spike so everyone sat still and stayed focused on the message. Yes!!! We will be having these again!


Servings: 1 jumbo donut

Macros: 145 cal, 8 g protein, 3 g fat, 20 g carbs, 1.5 g fiber, 6 g sugar
Portion Fix Containers: 1Y, .5R
2B Mindset “Plate-It”: Great FFC and add 1-2 eggs for a well rounded breakfast

Even the dough was yummy. I mean, I think it was ;) Quality control is a thing you know?

You’re supposed to let them sit 2-3 min so they aren’t too hot to eat. This was torture waiting.

Added 2 eggs for more protein to make sure I was full till lunch, but one egg would have been plenty.

5-ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

This is ALL you need guys, couldn’t be simpler, yet still indulgent. I am giddy with excitement for my boys to come home and try these because I knowwwwww, they will loveeeee them! But then I have this other feeling of “where can I hide these bad boyzzzz?” Do you get me? It makes 12 so that’s 12 days of hiding ;o) I’ll cut to the chase…

Ingredients:
⅓ cup clean smooth peanut butter (I prefer dark roasted, but any nut butter will do)
1 ½ tsp honey (I always prefer creamed honey, but it made it thicker, so I wouldn’t for your 1st attempt. Yeah, I already know you’ll make this more than once!)
1 TBSP vanilla (you can do as little as 1 tsp, but I like vanilla flavoring)
1 TBSP unflavored, or vanilla flavored, Collagen Peptides (I prefer this brand for joint support as well, it is nothing except Bovine Peptides. **watch for unnecessary additives)
1 cup dark chocolate chips (or 70% Cocoa baking chocolate ~ 255 grams)

Directions:
1) Mix all ingredients together in bowl, except for the chocolate. Once creamy, put aside in fridge.
2) Put paper liners in a 12-slotted muffin tin. Set aside.
3) Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe container (at 70-80% power) in 30 second intervals. Stir in between so you don’t overheat it or burn the chocolate. You can also do this on the stove.
4) Dollop 1 tsp melted chocolate in each muffin liner and spread from edge to edge with back of spoon or spatula.
5) Follow with 1 tsp peanut butter mixture from fridge in each muffin liner. If you have leftovers, just even it out amongst the 12. Smooth layer.
6) Use remaining chocolate for top layer, 1 tsp in each, and smooth layer. Should be looking like a Reese’s Cup at this point ;o)
7) Put in the fridge for 2 hours and then remove and store in ziplock or Tupperware for up to 2 weeks. Or, share it and watch how fast it disappears.
