PEACH COBBLER BITES

One of my favorite things about summer is the fresh fruit. My favorite fruit is watermelon but if you get a sweet juicy peach it rivals it! One of the very first things I learned to make on my own was a peach crisp. I had flour and sugar everywhere! Now I have  changed up my baking habits to healthify everything and I figured out how to make a little peach cobbler bites!




They are pretty simple and taste divine.I topped mine with  cinnamon coconutter sweet spreads! Its a wonderful litter company thats sells amazing coconutter spreads with 6 different flavors. You have to check them out! They will change your life!  www.sweetspreads.com .

I really enjoyed these my husband said they are my best creation yet!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Chewy Bars


PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP CHEWY BARS


So... I LOVE Peanut butter and when I make a healthy protien packed bar out of it its even better. These are sooooo good. SO SOFT AND CHEWY AND TASTY AND PEANUT BUTTERY! Ok I will stop drooling over here! Plus they are Gluten and dairy free. They are the best no bake protein bars! I dont even like to call them a protein bar because I have been breaking them apart and putting them on my ice cream as a desserts (HALO Ice cream..google it . Its awesome!)

In the summer it get REALLY HOT in Arizona. We are alwats in the 100's so i want treats but dont want to use my oven! These are perfect! All i need is a good food processor! Hope you guys enjoy them as much as I do!

Ingredients:
2 cups Peanut Butter protein Powder
 (I used Try About Time peanut butter protein: link to order is at the bottom of post) OR Vanilla Protein
1 cup Almond Flour 
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 C peanut butter of choice (I used Peanut butter Co White chocolate wonderful)
 17-20 drops sweef leaf stevia or 2-3 packets of stevia
3 tbs maple syrup or honey (I used walden farms)
5 tbs water
Optional but nessecary: 16-18 ghirdeilli's milk chocolate chips chopped in half or mini chocolate chips


HERE IS THE DEAL:
Combine protein powder, almond flour, vanilla, salt, peanut butter, and stevia. Add in 1 tbs of water and 1 and 1 tbs maple syrup at a time and mix. Continue to add and mix until the alotted amount is used. This is to ensure it mixes well because the dough can become very dense in the end. 

Once everything is well combined and the dough is formed  press into an 8X8 pan covered  in tin foil and sprayed (foil needs to cover the sides enough to pull out later for cutting ) Add chocolate chips by pushing them in the top of the dough ( you can mix them in but I like them this way  because seem to use less)


Let set for at least an hour. You don't  have to do this I just feel like the flavors mesh better and the bars form better for cutting if I wait but it is not a must. I normally make mine and leave them over night and cut them in the morning.Cut with sharp knife . Store on Baggie or Tupperware
. 

TIP: I love freezing mine and pulling out one to microwave for 15ish second to eat warm and a little gooey!

Keylime Cheesecake Mug Cake


KEYLIME CHEESECAKE MUGCAKE
I am obsessed with keylime things and I love cheesecake. So why not put them together in a healthy way .  Mugcakes are a fast easy way to make a treat for one! Which is what i need most the time. If i make a whole cake the consequences will be disastrous!!! SERIOUSLY!  So mug cakes are a great alternative and still knock out my sweet tooth! They bake up in just minutes and are spongy soft little cakes! Mine of course is packed with protein and very low in carbs. Its not overly Limey just a perfect amount. My whole foods store carries KEYLIME yogurt pretzels...YES they are unreal so I crush one of those on top along with 3 cinnamon french toast goldfish (from target) and the cheesecake topping was a song to my taste buds. Enjoy friends ! 


1/4 c scoop vanilla protein 
1 tbs coconut flour
1 egg white 
3.5 tbs almond milk
 1 tsp lime juice
 3/4 tsp stevia (1.5packets) 
1/8tsp about 2 -3 pinches lime sugar free jello or to your taste buds 
1 tsp instant sugar free cheesecake pudding mix 
2.5 tbs cottage cheese 
1/2 tsp baking powder 
Optional but fun: 2 drops green good coloring

 Microwave for 1 -2 min in a large mug(Spray mug first). Mine took 1:15 


Cheesecake Frosting : 
1 tbs fat free cream cheese 
3 tbs cottage cheese 
1 & 1/4 tsp cheesecake instant fat-free pudding mix
 4-6 drops vanilla creme stevia drops(pinch or two of stevia may work if you don't have the drops)
 1/2 tbs almond milk

 Topped with a 3 crushed cinnamon toast gold fish or teddy Graham's AND our whole foods store sells KEYLIME yogurt covered pretzels so I crushed one of those on top as well.
