I’m always looking to switch up my meals, but I want them to be super quick, but also give me a good balance between fats, protein and carbs.  I try to go around 20-30 protein, 10-15 fat, and 20-30 carbs every meal.  I just recently added in this amazing Avocado Mayo with Lime from Better Body Foods, SO GOOD.    You guys have to try this little snack!   They have their avocado mayo in chipotle too, which is very tasty. 

WHAT YOU NEED.

DIRECTIONS
Mix Avocado Mayo, celery, relish and tuna all together.  Place on top of toast, or rice cake.  I love it on either!  Also is great with GG crackers, or rice crackers.

You can also prep this for the week!  I like to make it for the next 3 lunches.  It stays fresh if you store it in the fridge.  I don’t like going longer than 3 days though.   That way you always have a great protein snack.  You can throw it on some bread for a sandwich, eat it plain, or have it for a snack with crackers.  It’s so easy!  The Avocado Mayo is what makes you so delicious.

If you guys haven’t noticed already, I get a lot of what I cook with Better Body Foods.  I cook my veggies with their Avocado Oil, you can look at the post through HOW I BAKE MY VEGGIES, and SUPERFOOD BARS I use a lot of their ingredients to make that as well.  I love them because they’re affordable, organic, with all clean ingredients!

Let me know if you guys have any questions!  Have a great day!

Okay- I made this recipe up a couple weeks ago, but I didn’t want to share it until I perfected it!  I’ve made them probably 10 times, so I’ve got it down and know all the tricks.  If you’re a peppermint dark chocolate lover, you will DIE over these.  I can’t and won’t give up my dark chocolate, and it’s so unrealistic to say you can’t eat something.  I like to say “Im eliminating this for this”  so I’m eliminating other bad treats for my own homemade protein treats! 

Okay, so I love creating things like this and its not to often that I do.  I got my inspiration from the Chocolate Protein Truffles I made last year.  So I’m all about the treats in moderation!  So here we go. Scroll down for the recipe.  BTW these are Vegan, dairy free and gluten free.

INGREDIENTS 

MAKES 9 TRUFFLES

DIRECTIONS

  1. Mix protein powder, brown sugar, almond milk, stevia and coconut flour in a medium size bowl until smoothed out.
  2. Take a small spoon full and mash together, then form into a ball,  and roll and smooth it into about 1 inch size ball.   To roll it into a ball, you’ll take both hands and move in circles to roll it and smooth out. Don’t press to hard while rolling.   Make sure it sticks together before placing it down.  
  3. Once done with add 3 tbsp chocolate chips and 1/2 tbsp coconut oil to a small bowl.  Heat up on your stove top on medium heat. Don’t leave it sitting there.   Make sure to watch it and stir the entire time, so you don’t burn it to the bottom of the pan.  OR heat up in the microwave for 2 mins, longer if needed. 
  4. Grab a ziplock bag, and open the candy cane and place the candy cane in the bag.  Then close it and smash the candy cane into tiny pieces with a muddler… or your foot, cup  haha whatever works, just mash it up!
  5. Once its nice and melted.  Roll each truffle into the chocolate mix and then place in a tupperware container to fit all.  
  6. Then sprinkle the peppermint flakes on top of each truffle and place in the fridge for 20 minutes before eating. 
  7. Store in the fridge and eat within 3-5 days

MACROS PER TRUFFLE/ CALS: 55 / PROTEIN: 3 / FAT: 3 / CARBS: 6

It’s the perfect little treat to help you feel satisfied and not reach to much for all the holiday treats!  I always tell myself!  Let me know how you guys like this post!  Hope you love them as much as me!
