A Sister-Blog to Cook With Nikki

Check out the new blog I’ve started for a project in my Interactive Marketing class!

We were asked to create a blog about something we’re passionate about on the Blogger website, and since I’ve already got this blog as my baby, I decided to do something somewhat related, but with a twist! It’s still new, and still in the works… But I really like the direction it’s going in! 🙂

It puts a primary focus on:

• Vegan/vegetarian foods
• Fitness related entries
• Reviews on random products focused on fitness and vegetarian/vegan food
• My own personal progress with P90x
• And there will also be some recipes thrown in because it’s impossible for me to have a blog without that!

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Protein Balls

Here’s a quick and simple sweet fix for people seeking out some energy and protein before or after their workout session! As I was making them, I couldn’t help but eat a few because they were so tasty! I’ve used peanut butter this time around, but have made them in the past with almond butter, sunflower seed butter (not my favourite…), and a mixture of walnut and peanut butter. These are calorie dense because of the peanut butter, though you probably won’t be too hungry after eating a batch of these. Here’s the recipe, enjoy! 🙂

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Protein Balls

Ingredients:

• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1/4 cup quick cooking rolled oats
• 1 tsp cocoa powder
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tbsp carob chips
• 3 tbsp natural peanut butter (or nut butter of your choice)
• 2 tbsp honey

Method:

• Mix all ingredients together in a bowl with your hands, and roll the dough out into little balls.
• Place in a plastic baggie, and pop them in the fridge.
• Let them harden for at least an hour. You can eat them right away if you like, but they taste better after being in the fridge for a bit.

An army of protein balls!
