Recipe of the Day!!



I love the holidays… Don’t you? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐ŸŽโ›„๏ธโ˜ƒ๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿท๐Ÿธ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™‰ but the treats and drinks oh my!! My waist line hates it. Starbucks with their holiday โ˜•๏ธ coffee and office parties galore! Why not bring in a healthier twist to the peppermint mocha office treat ?!
Check this no bake out….๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

Peppermint Mocha Bites!!


Ingredients

1 1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour*

1/4 cup coconut flour

1 T cocoa powder

1 tsp espresso powder

1 scoop chocolate or vanilla powder (I tried a vegan brown rice brand, a paleo egg white brand and a casein blend)- Optional

pinch sea salt

Granulated sweetener of choice**

1/2 tsp peppermint extract

1/2 cup nut butter of choice (I used homemade paleo “nutella”)

1/4 cup maple syrup (can sub for honey, agave or brown rice syrup)

1 T + dairy free milk of choice***

Extra cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions



In a large mixing bowl, combine your flours, protein powder, espresso powder, cocoa powder, salt and granulated sweetener and set aside.

In a microwave safe bowl or stovetop, melt your nut butter with the maple syrup. Whisk in the peppermint extract and pour into the dry mixture. Mix very well until fully incorporated.

If batter is too thick (it generally is), add a tablespoon of dairy-free milk, until a thick batter is formed. If batter is too thin, add a dash more flour until a thick batter is formed. Using your hands, form into bite sized balls.

Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes, or until firm.

Notes

* For the paleo option, use 1 cup TOTAL coconut flour or almond flour, however you’ll need to adjust the liquids for the latter.

** protein powder was sweetened so I omitted but adjust accordingly

*** Depending on the blend of flours you use, you may need less or more. Adjust accordingly.

Bites can be stored at room temperature but best refrigerated.

If you fail to prepare…. You are preparing to fail…

Let it SINK IN….

If you follow me on FB or Instagram you have probably seen me post about my #SUNDAYFUNDAYS which involve #MEALPREP.

Maybe? Yes? Great!

Meal Prep?

People always ask why I do it and then once they see my results they ask me how.

11159502_10155435667280545_4869205025034762291_n

Dedication– harsh but truth.

It is how it is done. It is honestly like being in a relationship with your diet and exercise. You wouldn’t cheat on your BF/GF, Husband/ Wife/Spouse Etc, why would you cheat on this?

Simple– people say I don’t have time, it costs too much money, I don’t like eating the same things.

WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP

EXCUSES!

If in between a 50hr work week, coaching, online classes and now CrossFit I find time to work out and meal prep, you my friends can too and I WILL HELP YOU!

The first step is wanting to commit to being dedicated. You can not cancel on yourself, you have to be a straight #BOSS.

Bosses don’t flake on their dreams and aspirations.
