Protein Cheesecake by Katie

Protein Cheesecake by Katie 
This recipe is SO GOOD!!! 

Ingredients: 
Two scoops of protein powder (I used Cellucor cookies and cream)
 two eggs
 two egg whites
 1.5 cups greek yogurt (I like Chobani 0 fat)
 1.5 cups stevia in the raw
 1 tsp natural vanilla extract
 2 8 oz packs of fat free cream cheese
 I topped mine with 1 tbsp of melted jiff whips maple peanut butter 

Directions:

Pre heat oven to 250 and grease your cake pan (I like using natural coconut oil or grape-seed oil cooking spray). 
Mix your ingredients well with a mixer if you have one (cream cheese is hard to mix in). 
Next pour mix into cake pan and bake for 30 minutes. After that raise the temp to 300 and cook for another 45 minutes.
Top with whatever your heart desires!  
Then let cool and place in the fridge for a few hours. 
That's all!!

This is one of my favorite recipes and it's perfect for the holidays! 

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Raw, No Bake, Energy Bites

No Bake Energy Bites 

I love these delicious treats for several reasons... 
1. They are easy to make 
2. They are guilt-free 
3. They are the perfect treat if you need a little snack or tasty dessert 
4.  They are portable 
5. The ingredients are delicious 

so lets get started! 

I made a huge batch because I had some almond butter I was trying to get rid of but you can alter the recipe amount if you want to make less energy bites (but lets be real, you will need/want quite a few) Just make sure the texture is gooey enough for everything to stick, but not so gooey that you can't form a ball out of the mix. 

Ingredients: 
3 cups of almond butter 
2 cups of gluten-free oatmeal (uncooked) 
1/2 cup of sunflower seeds 
1 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut flakes 
2 cups of coconut nectar (you can find this at whole foods) OR use raw honey 
lots of cinnamon 
3 tbsp of natural vanilla 
1 tsp of salt 

Directions: 
Pour all DRY ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. 
Then, slowly pour in coconut nectar while stirring.  
Mix coconut nectar in with dry ingredients as best as you can. 
Then, add in the almond butter and mix until all ingredients are mixed thoroughly (I used my clean hands to do this) 
Once everything is well mixed, start spooning the mixture out onto some parchment paper.  
Just like making homemade cookies, you will roll the batter into little balls. 
Once all of your batter is made into little balls, you can place them in fridge or serve immediately. 
I like to keep them in the fridge because I like them slightly chilled! 



p.s. these can also serve as a great side dish to bring over the holidays!

Cinnamon Banana Pronuts by Katie

Cinnamon Banana Pronuts


Ingredients:
1/4 cup plain oats
 1/2 banana
1/2 tsp baking powder 
1/2 tsp cinnamon 
1/2 scoop cinnamon protein powder (I used cellucor) 
2 egg whites

Glaze: 
1 tbsp Jason's maple almond butter
1/2 scoop cinnamon protein powder
and a little bit of water 

Directions:
Grind oats to a flower and cut banana into slices then blend all ingredients together. Spray donut pan with non stick spray and pour mixture into four molds. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix your glaze ingredients together (just add little bits of water until it's more of a smooth consistency). Glaze your donuts when they are done and then enjoy! The best part is you can eat all four donuts! 


I hope you enjoyed this recipe!

Energy Bars


I am huge fan of these bars! They are easy to make, portable, they are DELISH, and they are all-natural.  So many protein bars are loaded with junk.  Don't be fooled by protein bars and don't put crap in your body!
p.s. your house will smell so amazingly scrumptious while these are baking, you will want to make them every week! #HelloBettyCrocker The smell of these bars really put me in the holiday spirit... is that weird?!

These energy bars are: Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, Dairy-Free, Organic,  Non-GMO, & DELICIOUS!  

Ingredients: 
2 cups of pecans 
1 1/2 cup of almonds 
4 dates  
dash of cinnamon
dash of salt 
 1/2 cup of honey OR 
coconut nectar for less sugar... I've tried each out and love both! 
Directions: 
 Place nuts in food processor or good blender and pulse.  Be careful not over process.  You don't want an almond butter texture.
Then place all other ingredients in food processor and pulse until a thick texture is made. 
Place batter in an 8x8 cooking pan that is greased with coconut oil.  
Bake on a low temperature around 180 for about an hour.  Leave the oven slightly cracked open.  Once the top starts to brown, take the pan out. 
Cut & Serve (or store for the week!)
