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.

Chocolate Almond Fat Bombs

Makes 6 servings

These would be awesome for Christmas goodies for neighbors with the protein balls I shared the other day! So many flavors on one plate and all protein based desserts! Your neighbors will certainly not throw these away. True story, I made chocolate chip brownies for a neighbor once and her son came over and told me they were so good, but he wished he could have more. I asked him why he only got 1, there were 20 and he told me his mom threw them away because they were “too good” and didn’t want to gain weight. 1) a guy would never do that and 2) let the kids enjoy it and just keep your hands out of the cookie jar?!?! NO?

What would you do? TOSS OR KEEP???

Try these and the double it so you can share with others. Tis the season of giving!

Melt together:

2 TBSP ghee

2 TBSP coconut oil

4 TBSP almond butter

Then add:

2 tsp cocoa dark powder

3 tsp stevia

1 tsp vanilla

1 TBSP unsweetened coconut flakes

2 TBSP chopped almonds

Freeze in muffin tin keep in freezer

Snack Bars save me every day!

Life is full and it is BUSY!! if you don’t feel this way, I’m sort of jealous and also feel like you might be missing out! I find between juggling work, workouts, sports, school pickup or family commitments, it's easy to reach for something quick but unhealthy or just carb loaded, but Shaklee Snack Bars are my go-to solution for a nutritious protein boost without ruining my next meal!

Things to look for in bar; many are “fat bars” or “energy bars,” certainly not “protein bars”

1. High-Quality Protein: Each Shaklee Snack Bar is packed with premium protein to help stay energized, muscle recovery, stay fuller longer, and support overall health.

2. Nutrient-Rich Ingredients: These bars are made with wholesome ingredients that not only provide protein, but also deliver essential vitamins and minerals. No artificial additives either. I call them “nasties”

3. Delicious Flavors: Shaklee Snack Bars come in 4 flavors: cherry almond, toffee crunch (my son’s favorite), peanut butter crisp (my favorite and good with a few chocolate chips too), chocolate & coconut.

4. Convenient Packaging: Designed for busy lifestyles, they’re individually wrapped so toss in your purse, car, gym backpack, briefcase or lunchbox. You can enjoy a healthy snack at work, after a workout, or while running errands, but if you’r not prepared, all the sudden Crumble Cookies looks really darn healthy! lol

5. Balanced Nutrition: These bars provide a perfect balance of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats, making them an excellent option for pre- or post-workout fuel. They help replenish your energy levels and support muscle recovery after exercise.
   
   Which flavor will you choose? 10 per box so grab two!

Summer Road Trip Food ideas...

Planning a quick weekend road trip, or venturing back into the world of travel?? Wherever this summer takes you, make sure that your snack game is strong so your nutrition and health can still have priority! Road, air or sea - travel always has unexpected surprises and delays!

Here’s a list of healthy, portable snack options to hold you over until your next meal. My top 5 are:

1) Hard-Boiled Eggs
With 77 calories and 6 grams of protein per egg, hard-boiled eggs are an easy travel snack you can eat with your bare hands in a pinch. Try sprinkling an umami seasoning, everything bagel salt or another flavored topping for some extra pizazz (at home), or save salt and pepper packets form gas stations or takeaway orders.

2) Jerky
Beef jerky provides protein along with micronutrients. To reduce the sodium try turkey, chicken, or plant-based options! There are so many varieties to try; this is an easy to eat, easy to pack must have and plenty of flavor! We always have this in our backpack when we hike!

3) Protein Bars
Protein bars are a quintessential travel snack, but the sugar and artificial flavoring can really kill your clean eating plans. Look for bars that have 6g of sugar or less and an ingredients list that you can actually read! (If you can’t pronounce it, you probably shouldn’t be eating it) #truth Granola and Protein Bars can be sneaky and have the nutrients of a Snickers candy bar so for sure READ THE LABEL. I love Beachbody’s Beachbars and there are 3 delicious options: Chocolate Cherry Almond, Chocolate Peanut Butter (both whey) or Chocolate Almond Crunch (vegan and tastes like a s’mores).

4) Nuts
Nuts are a nutrient-dense snack, so pack some before you go! Pistachios are a great option because they can be considered a complete protein, meaning they contain all nine essential amino acids in one little snack! If you like flavored nuts, skip the store-bought version and try making your own, you’ll thank yourself! You’ll be able to control the sodium levels and notice that a sprinkling of seasoning goes a long way. WATCH YOUR PORTIONS. Reasonable portion sizes are: 20 pistachios, 12 almonds, 8 cashews or walnuts, 10 pecans or 14 peanuts. Shocking how little right? I bet we are all thinking “woah, I had a week’s worth in one sitting”. That’s why portion sizes matter. We might not be getting results because we don’t know any better :) I’m here to help!

5) Cheese Sticks
Snack cheeses like string cheese and Babybel provide protein and calcium for under 100 calories per serving. These are great to pair with a piece of fruit to offset the sugar content. They are best, however, for short trips - like most perishable foods, you’ll want to eat cheese within two hours of taking it out of the fridge. Don’t overdue it or have this every single day because cheese can also stop you up in the toilet area :) That’s no fun on road trips.

Best advice when you travel and something I ALWAYS do - add veggies to EVERY SINGLE MEAL; even brekky! I find vegetables super hard to find when I’m traveling and I never get enough fiber (women want 25 grams a day and men, 35 grams) so if I eat then when they’re available, I don’t pay the price later when options are sparse.

Autumn Date Night Ideas

Autumn is here (per the calendar, sure doesn't feel that way).  With all the time we've spent at home lately, getting out and having some (safe) fun can be rejuvenating.  Grab your partner, friends, kids, or even pets, and pick an idea from the list I shared.  Let me know what was the most fun and tag me on Insta @eat.sweat.pray! 

We've started doing “day dates” so it isn't just movies and dinner all the time, so corn maze, apple picking, and carving pumpkins look fun to me.  Normally I'd chose baking, but with all the sugar this season, I'm not brave enough to test my willpower!!
