As promised, here is a recipe post using this week’s ingredient of the week… coconut!
Here are two NEW recipes featuring coconut. Warning – both are addicting, delicious, and husband approved.
Coconut-Chocolate Chip Cookies
So simple, so good.
Very simple recipe that only takes a few minutes to prepare and bake. I ended up making two batches in two nights… whoops! They were sooo good, I couldn’t help it! They are flavorful and it is hard to believe they are good for you, but they are. They are vegan, egg, dairy, and sugar free, contain rich cocoa nibs filled with antioxidants, and filled with protein and fiber.
Add all ingredients into blender, blend until smooth. That's it.
Another very simple recipe, probably the world’s fastest coconut cream pie! For an extra protein boost add some Silken Tofu.
Here are some recipes I’ve posted about in the past….
Mmmm rum cake....
Tasty green cookies
My version of a green smoothie
