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

This overnight recipe will win ALL your house guests over this week and it smells 100% like fall, so it’s perfect for Thanksgiving. What I love most about jarred oats is everyone can modify the ingredients so it’s something they love, and look forward to in the morning.

Ingredients:

½ cup old-fashioned oats

½ cup milk of your choice

1 apple diced

2 scoops of Salted Caramel LifeShake

½ tsp ground cinnamon

Directions:

Chop apple & add cinnamon then microwave for 45 seconds.

In a mason jar, combine oats, milk, apples LifeShake.

Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Cover the jar with a lid & refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.

In the morning, give the oats a good stir then warm in microwave for 60 seconds! Add your favorite toppings, such as chopped walnuts, cranberries, or a spoonful of Greek yogurt & maple syrup. I ADDED ALL OF IT!

Let the mason jar sit on the counter to get to room temperature before microwaving it.

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!
