Protein Cookie Dough Dip

I'm one of those people that likes cookie dough better than cookies. I'm one of those people that buys premade cookie dough for the sole purpose of eating it raw. I know, you are too. 

So, I present to you egg free, gluten free, (can be made vegan), super versatile and delicious protein cookie dough (dip). 


I made it a snickerdoodle cookie dough, but you could easily change a few ingredients to make Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate, Peanut Butter, White Chocolate Macadamia, etc. Run wild. The cookie dough is your oyster..er...you know what I mean. 

Ingredients:
  • 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and dried
  • 1 scoop protein powder of choice 
  • 1 tsp cinnamon*
  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened vanilla cashew milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp imitation butter flavor
  • 2 Tbsp Walden farms Pancake Syrup
  • Additional sweetener to taste
  • 1 Tbsp cinnamon chips*

Directions:

1. Pour the rinsed and dried chickpeas into a food processor or blender. Add in the cashew milk and blend until smooth. 
2. Add in the protein powder and cinnamon and blend until thoroughly combined. 
3. Add in the flavorings, pancake syrup and sweetener and blend until smooth. 
4. Transfer the dough to a bowl and mix in the cinnamon chips. Optional: top with a sprinkle of cinnamon/stevia or cinnamon sugar! 






*Leave out the cinnamon for other flavor variations and substitute cinnamon chips for mix in of choice. Some ideas:

  • Use chocolate protein powder, substitue pancake syrup with Walden Farms chocolate syrup, substitue cinnamon chips for mini chocolate chips for a double chocolate cookie dough. 
  • Use vanilla protein powder, substitue cinnamon chips for mini chocolate chips for classic chocolate chip cookie dough. 
  • Use vanilla protein powder, substitute cinnamon chips for white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts for white chocolate macadamia nut cookie dough. 
  • Use peanut butter protein powder, substitute cinnamon chips for mini chocolate chips for peanut butter cookie dough. 
  • Use cinnamon protein powder (or vanilla + cinnamon), add 1/4 cup cashew milk, 1/4 cup oats, and raisins or mini chocolate chips for oatmeal cookie dough. 
Base "Dough"
The texture is thick and great! I didn't add much sweetener to mine, so you could definitely taste a little chickpea flavor but I didn't mind. Feel free to use as much or as little sweetner as you wish.

Have your cookie dough and eat it too. I won't tell.

Product Review: Tru Fru

If you dip anything in chocolate it's instantly 10x better, right? I like freeze dried fruit and I like  love chocolate so combining the two is a recipe for success!  That's what Tru Fru has done.  The fruit is harvested fresh, freeze dried to lock in the majority of the vitamins, taste, and nutrition. The fruit is then coated in rich chocolate for a snack that is both nutritious and indulgent tasting! You don't have to choose between a nutritious snack or a tasty treat. You can have both in one. That's the concept, so let's get taste-testing! They have several different varieties including: Raspberries, Cherries, Coconut Melts, Strawberries, Bananas, and Cranberries. I first tried the Strawberry variety because chocolate covered strawberries are classic! I really liked it! The dark chocolate coating was smooth and rich while the freeze dried strawberry interior was crunchy and sweet with a slight tang. I found this to be perfectly balanced with

Must Read List

Have you been spending more time at home? Have you finished your entire list on Netflix? If the answer to these is Yes, you might be looking for some ways to fill your time. I personally love to read, especially while laying out in the sunshine. So I thought I would share some of my all time, must read books! I'm a fan of fiction so these books are all fiction! Longtime Favorite:  A Separate Peace I read this book as a freshman in high school and it never left me. The emotions are so piercing and the story so unique that I never forgot it.  Classic:  The Picture of Dorian Gray Thought provoking, emotive, and relatable to the core - this timeless classic will have you turning pages.  Female Must Read:  The Bell Jar Sylvia Plath captures a character that reached deep within my soul. It touches on mental health, feminism and more all while being extremely readable, imo.  Lived Up to the H ype:  The Fault in Our Stars John Green is a master story-teller and this book lived up to the hy
