Cinnamon Nutty Butter Cookies! Taste is just what I wanted, but they’re extremely crumbly/delicate. I think they either needed to bake more or needed an extra ingredient to bind it better. Therefore, no recipe. But they were so cute I had to share a foodie tease :) because I’m mean. Or generous, depending on how you look at it lol #nofilter #instafood #foodie #healthy #eatclean #healthycookies #cleancookies #healthyfood

Another adapted CCK recipe! This time it was her chocolate chip blondes! I halved the amount of nut butter, and used the homemade chocolate as my chocolate chips, stevia instead of sugar. Sugar-free Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites? Don’t mind if I do! Abou 50 cals each with 1.5g protein! #healthy #healthydessert #sweettreat #healthytreats #eatclean #fitfood #instafood #cookies #cookiedough #fitness #yum  (Taken with Instagram)

Cookie Dough Overnight Oats with a Cookie Dough Crumble topping! This morning’s breakfast was probably my favorite overnight oat parfait variation ever, such a treat! Last night I prepped my oats: 1/3c oats mixed with vanilla stevia, cinnamon and 2/3c to 1c of water, microwaved for a few mins, stir, do it again until most of the liquid is gone, then I add my flavorings. In went some vanilla, more vanilla stevia, chia seed and the secret ingredient for cookie dough oats: a tiny splash of banana extract! Usually mashed banana gives that cookie flavor, but I didn’t want the sugar/carbs of banana when I didn’t need them since it’s a rest day for me. I took a gamble, added banana extract and the results were even better than what I imagined. It just adds that extra oomph, almost the buttery kind of sweetness of raw cookie dough. Then I added 1 tbsp chia seed and 1/3 to 1/2 c almond milk, in the fridge overnight. In the morning, I mixed a serving of Greek yogurt with vanilla stevia, vanilla extract and cacao nibs, then got to layering! For the cookie dough crumble: 1 tbsp coconut flower, vanilla stevia, almond milk. I didn’t measure I just kept adding milk until it made little crumbles, then threw in cacao nibs and then a few dark chocolate chips on top. The coconut flour cookie dough crumble is so good I’d honestly my it up and just eat it straight with a spoon. Im actually really glad I decided to give that a shot this morning bc I crave cookie dough all the time and this stuff tastes amazing, totally hit the spot!!!! So that’s it, if you give this guy a go tag me I’d love to see how you make yours!! :) #breakfast #cookiedough #parfait #oats #healthy #eatclean #healthyeats #instafood #foodporn #food #overnightoats #chocolate #cacao #chia #glutenfree #greekyogurt #sweettooth #yum #healthytreat #cookies #foodpals #cleaneating #fitfood #delicious  (Taken with Instagram)

So It Begins…

Baked some cookies last night. A 3 nut (well 2, I was out of pecans) biscotti and some chocolate chip cookies. Both were ‘healthy’ versions, but still… 

I ate some cookies last night. Not just one. You have to try your own cookies, right? Make sure they aren’t poisonous or worse, disgusting? Right? Right!? Shiiitttt….

Gym, I’m coming for you. I’ll knock out 3 miles in 30-35 minutes on the treadmill if it kills me, then shred my legs some more with a strength training circuit routine. 

Why, Christmas? Why must you be so sugary and buttery and delicious? :( fml.
