No-Bake Honey Peanut Butter Cookies Combine the following ingredients in a bowl: 2 ½ cup rolled oats, ⅓ cup natural peanut butter, 3 tbsp honey, ½ cup dark chocolate chips. Mix thoroughly and then use a muffin tin as the mold to form the cookies. This recipe works really well with mini muffin tins as well. It makes about eight 250-calorie cookies -- so one is more than enough. Tip: To cut down on calories, you can make 16 cookies instead. 4. 70% cacao 5. BCAA Slushy Mix 10 grams of flavored BCAA powder in 4oz water until completely dissolved. Add BCAA mixture to a blender with 2 cups of ice. Blend until ice is crushed to desired consistency. Pour into a bowl and enjoy with a spoon. Watch out for brain freeze! 7. Pistachios 8. Not Your Average Milkshake Combine in a blender: 1 and ½ scoops of casein protein powder with 1 cup of milk, a drop or two of vanilla extract, and 4-5 ice cubes (the more ice, the thicker your shake will be). Blend on high until all the ice is chopped up. This nutrient powered milkshake packs about 40 grams of protein and ⅓ of the recommended daily intake for calcium. 11. Pumpkin Seeds 14. Almonds (try them with curry or chili powder) 16. Kale Chips Kale chips provide you a great salty crunch without the extra fat and calories you’d get with regular potato chips. Kale chips also provide vitamins K, A, C and the cancer-fighting phytochemicals called carotenoids. These are all things you don’t get from potato chips. Kale chips taste best when they are freshly-baked. The prep time is so minimal that you can easily whip up a batch while you are making dinner to enjoy them later in the evening. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove and discard the thick stems. Toss the kale pieces in a small amount of extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and pepper – you can add garlic too. Spread the kale out on a baking sheet (non-insulated) and bake for 12-17 minutes or until crispy but not burnt. |
