Pumpkin Caramel Protein Snickerdoodles

People wait all year for pumpkin season! I, however, am a strong proponent for year round pumpkin appreciation. Pumpkin also lends itself to great macro-friendly recipes! 

Without further ado, I present to you Pumpkin Caramel Protein Snickerdoodles:
 Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup white kidney beans
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree 
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp imitation caramel extract
  • 1 packet Devotion Nutrition monkey bread flex flavor
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 scoop Slap Nutrition Cinnamon Swirl protein powder
  • 1:1 ratio mix of truvia and cinnamon 
Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  2. Puree beans, pumpkin and egg. 
  3. Add the extract, sweeteners, baking powder, and protein powder. Mix until thoroughly combined. 
  4. Drop spoonfuls onto parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. The "cookie dough" is very thin, more of a batter consistency. 
  5. Sprinkle the truvia/cinnamon mixture on top of the cookies and bake for 8-10 minutes. 
  6. Enjoy!

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
