Sunday Funday in Malakoff, TX

I had a grand ol' time catching up with our old friends. I gotta say it was pretty tough eating my meals that I brought while everyone ate the "bad stuff" ; ) During my cheatmeal they ended up grilling CHICKEN!!! So I went ahead and ate that and indulged in a rootbeer float, no-bake cookies, banana pudding, and pineapple/cherry dumpcake. I wasn't letting my "cheatmeal" go to waste. Because I loved these No-Bake Cookies so much, I did some research and found a healthier and protein packed alternative.


 You will need:

  • 1/2 cup margarine or Smart Butter
  • 1/2 cup Skim milk
  • 4 Tbsp chocolate protein powder Ump by Beverly is best)
  • 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups Splenda Sugar Substitute or Stevia
  • 1/2 cup all natural peanut butter
  • 3 cups quick oats
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Directions:
    1. Melt margarine in a saucepan and add milk, protein powder, Splenda, and cocoa powder.
    2. Bring to a boil for no more than a minute or until thick.
    3. Remove from heat and quickly add in the oats, coconut, peanut butter, and vanilla.
    4. Mix well.
    5. Using a pan lined with wax paper, press mixture into cookies or using a fork, add mixture to wax paper to make cookies. Let cool and enjoy.
