Vanilla Cold Brew Overnight Oats

Quick and easy breakfasts are a major staple in my house, always paired with a small cup of HOT coffee. Iced coffee and cold brew aren’t usually my thing, but these vanilla cold brew overnight oats DEFINITELY are!

I used Wandering Bear Cold Brew coffee. The flavor it added to these oats was absolutely perfect.

• 1/2 cup rolled oats

• 3 TB cold brew coffee

• 1/2 cup milk of choice

Frozen Chocolate Protein Cookies

---

Fridge and pantry clean-outs always have me creating new recipes and combinations, and these little ‘cookies’ are no exception!

They’re really high in protein and fiber, and you can sprinkle any garnish on top that you like… powdered sugar, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, etc. Or you don’t have to add anything if that’s your style!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin

• 1 serving chocolate protein powder

• 2-3 TB coconut flour

• 3 TB ground flax

• 3 TB cocoa powder

• Dash of maple syrup

• Optional: 1 scoop collagen peptides

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mix all of the ingredients together in a small mixing bowl. Add 2 TB of coconut flour to start, and gradually add in up to another TB until the batter consistency is only slightly sticky.

2. Spoon rounded scoops of batter onto a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper. Flatten gently and sprinkle topping, if desired.

3. Let cookies sit in the freezer for at least 1 hour. Enjoy!

Frozen Chocolate Protein Bites

I make a lot of different protein balls (you can find some recipes here), but these guys are perfect for the warm weather that is finally making its way in!

They’re frozen treats that’ll keep you cool, but each one has almost 5 grams of high quality plant protein, too! It’s a win-win :)
