No Bake Power Bites



Do you have a snack that totally saves you? That curbs your sweet tooth and give you the energy to keep going. Totally Satisfies you? Well, this is it for me! No Bake EASY PEASY power bites. My family has requested I make these each week. No more late night snacking on cheese, crackers or cookies. No more grabbing a packaged bar for a snack. 
THIS, just this!


Have I ever steered you wrong? Trust me, you won't be sorry!


Total Time: 15 min
Prep Time: 15 min.

  • ½ cup organic old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup all-natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1 Tbs maca powder
  • 3 Tbs shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 3 Tbs raw honey

*I use Vegan Chocolate Shakeology because I have found this is the ONE and ONLY for me. All the good stuff my body needs and NO artificial junk. However, you can give it a try with other protein powders. I stand by this recipes with the ingredients given only as I know the goodness. If you want to give Shakeogoly a try, check it out here.  I highly recommend having it daily. *

Preparation:

1. Place nut in large baggy and smash until they are finely chopped.
2. Combine nuts, Shakeology, maca, coconut and oats in a medium bowl; mix well.
3. Add pb and honey; mix well with a rubber spatula or just get your clean hands dirty!
4. Roll in balls about the size of a ping pong ball.


*If you need more moist to mix into balls, add a little more pb.

Refrigerate covered up to 1 week.

 ENJOY! These are amazeballs!!

Coco Loco Peanut Butter Chia Pudding

I know... I've been away from the blog as of late. But just know I have been cooking up a storm! I have MANY new recipes to share! Here is one of my favorite new ones!

Coconut Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia!

Need something new and refreshing to get you going in the morning? Or how about a pick me up snack full of antioxidants, fiber, protein, and goodness? Or maybe, just maybe a healthy desert you can feel guiltless about eating? 
This will do the trick!

Decadent dark chocolate, creamy peanut butter, super-food Chia seeds and refreshing coconut milk! Do I have your attention yet? 

Heaven in a jar yes it is!
Ingredients:
  • 1 tbs honey
  • 3 tbs creamy organic peanut butter
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 2 tbs mini dark chocolate chips 
  • 2 tbs unsweetened coconut flakes

Directions:

1. Combine honey and peanut butter in large mixing bowl. Whisk well to combine. Pour both coconut milks into bowl and whisk to combine. Fold in chia seeds and chocolate chips.
2. Slowly pour mixture into 4 to 6 sealable jars. Sprinkle coconut flakes on top. Chill in the refrigerator overnight to set. (Chia seeds will absorb the milk, thicken, and expand creating a creamy pudding texture.)
3. Serve chilled and enjoy!


I am in love with this one!

How amazing would it be to have a 100% guilt free treat!? Or even better, a chocolaty pre-workout snack! That's right I said it! A healthy Peanut Butter cup you can feel GOOD about eating. My ONLY problem with these is my son likes them a ton. He gets one for "desert" often so I have to make them all the time to have enough on hand for everyone. But since they take 10 minutes TOTAL to make....... WHO CARES!!!

 1 packet of Chocolate Shakeology

Directions:
  • Melt 2 Tbsp of Coconut Oil. In a small bowl mix Chocolate Shakeology packet  and oil until smooth.



  • In cupcake liners, Pour about 1 tsp of chocolate sauce.
  • Add 1 tsp of Peanut Butter on top of chocolate.
