Hello beautiful people.
Thank you all for your sweet comments on yesterdays post! You are all the best!
So if your like me, by the time the afternoon hits I need a little something in the snack department. I’m not one of those people who can eat 3 meals a day and be satisfied. Eating about 5 small meals a day keeps me in a happy mood. You know what happens when you get too hungry before a meal, yeah not too pretty 
These cookie dough balls are a perfect snack to help tide your hunger over until dinner. Especially if you are on the go. They are also great to have before a workout first thing in the morning, because of their size, they don’t weigh me down in the morning or make my stomach uncomfortable, which is great.
And is it just me, or do you prefer raw cookie dough over cooked cookies? As I kid I absolutely loved raw cookie dough. I would put it in the freezer and eat it from there. These are a little healthier And I can still throw them in the freezer and not worry about getting salmonella poisoning. A plus in my books!
Ingredients (6 balls)
- 1/4 cup protein powder (I used sun warrior)
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons raw cashew butter (you could use any nut butter)
- 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 banana (or 1/2 cup applesauce, or pumpkin)
- 1-4 tablespoons almond milk
- liquid stevia (to preferred taste)
Melt the coconut oil in a bowl, add the nut butter and banana, and stevia (or other sweetener), and mash until combined. Then add the protein powder and coconut flour and combine well (I just use my hands). The dough will be pretty thick, so if you need to add some liquid add in your almond milk (1 tablespoon at a time), until you can form them into balls. Refrigerate or freeze until your ready to eat.
And enjoy.
I’m off to get a start on my day, probably go to Starbucks (wow, I seriously have a problem) , and then I am on a spring cleaning spree! My whole room needs a good cleaning!!
Do you prefer baked or raw cookies?
Have you started spring cleaning yet?
Have a great day all!

Mmmm these sound so delicious, and so protein-eriffic
Totally adding to my “to-make” list!
Have fun at Starbucks and doing spring cleaning!
Love them! Thanks friend! Have a great day yourself!
If I had 3 meals a day I think I would die. Lol I am constantly eating it’s insane! Anyway, these look DELICIOUS I just bookmarked them so I’m absolutely making these soon
Haha I feel the same way, I feel like I am constantly eating too!
Oh those sound so tasty!! I love both raw cookie dough and cookies haha. And I always love to eat the dough, so when there are no eggs to worry about, and it’s healthy I’m a happy camper
. What kind of liquid stevia do you use?
Haha your right, both are pretty tasty!
I use nu naturals, alcohol free vanilla stevia. So good.
these sound so tasty! i’m all for raw cookie dough
or batter of any kind, for that matter.
Me too!
Yummy, can’t wait to try
Delicious! I eat 3 main meals and lots of little snacks. I love food.
Same here!
Yum! the cookies look tasty. I’ve been attempting to clean my closet for the past 3 days and it’s a slow process for me. I have so much crap and after a winter of non-stop travel it’s like a tornado swept through.
I used to go to Starbucks all the time until I bought my Nespresso machine. They make incredible espresso in the comfort of your own kitchen!
I need a Nespresso machine, everyone keeps saying how awesome they are! That will be on my next list of things to buy! I could use the money I use on starbucks for something else
Have a great day!
I agree, I can’t go with eating only 3 meals a day. It’s like deprivation even if they’re all high calorie. I need my food every 3 hours or so. These cookie dough balls look awesome.
Yep, totally. I sometimes die at work if I can’t eat until after 5 hours its so painful because I get no dinner break and have to rush home to eat. No fun in that!
Oh I am all over this! Sun warrior, coconut, cashew butter…all my favorite stuff. Thanks for recipe
Us fit chicks need to get our protein on in a tasty way.
