The most AMAZING cookie you will ever eat

EVERYBODY. YOU NEED TO STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND MAKE THESE COOKIES! these only take MAX 15 minutes, and I swear you will be in heaven!! I took an original recipe and changed it to my own, so please tell me what you think!

1 cup natural crunchy peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
Egg whites or egg replacer equivalent to 1 large egg
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt (I added only a couple dashes of salt for less sodium!)
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup flax seeds
one handful of pumpkin seeds
one handful of sunflower seeds
one handful of chopped pecans
one handful of chopped walnuts

Now mix everything together and if you want add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (I didn't add any)
Get a cookie sheet, line it with foil, and make cookie size lumps with the batter! Its going to be runny at first but don't worry they will turn out.
Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees. Take out and let cool for 10 minutes and let harden.

This makes about 12 good sized cookies

Hungry for change

This is just a clip of the documentary "Hungry for Change." I really encourage you to go and watch it! It really makes you realized the stuff that you are eating. And it is VERY educating. Juicing is so important because of how fast you get the nutrients! After my friends and I watched this we all went and got juicers!

I made my first fresh juice tonight after the gym! 1 apple, 1 cup of kale, 1 cup of spinach, 2 chunks the size of toonies of ginger! WOOOWW IT WAS SO GOOD!

GET JUICIN' :)

Food Tricks

Here are some healthy food recipes that I absolutely love!! :

1. SMOOTHIES!!! some of my all time favourite recipes:

1 whole banana
1 large kale leaf
Some mango slices (add more to make more sweet)
3/4 cup of coconut water

1 whole banana
8 frozen peach slices, or half a large fresh peach
3 raspberries
3 blackberries
1 large kale leaf
3/4 cup of coconut water

"GREEN MACHINE"
Half a banana
Half of a green apple
Half of a kiwi
1 large kale leaf
1/2 cup of spinach
1/2 cup of coconut water

2. Homemade sweet potato fries
For these I like to keep the skin on! It makes for a chewy crispy texture! You can peel it first if you'd like though! Try not to a get a really round or thick sweet potato because they are difficult to cut. Cut it up into wedges or sticks, whatever you'd like, mix them up in a little olive oil so they don't stick to the pan. Put some pepper on them and bake on 400 until they are as crispy as you like them! Such a greta power snack!

3. Flax Seed Oil on salads
On salads I usually like to put olive oil, some lemon juice, pepper and a little garlic. But Ive recently discovered if you use flax seed oil instead of olive oil, it tastes the same but it is a antioxidant that can boost up your metabolism! It is also jam packed full of fibre! so you know what that means...

4. Download a Calorie Counter
The calorie counter is a great little tool. I use it a lot when i'm at a coffee shop or restaurant! It has anything you could ever possibly want to eat. You would be surprised at what has more calories and what has less! It helps me decide on the best thing to eat while going out :) I use MyFitnessPal! It also tracks your diet and encourages you! You can add me and follow my weightloss! alexandriapatricia

5. Plan Greek yogurt & Protein powder
After your workout, take 3/4 cup of greek yogurt and add protein powder of your choice! ITS LIKE PUDDING! my favourite is double chocolate! yummmmmm

Friday Favourites

I've decided on making a post every friday, of my 5 favourite health tips! :) HERE WE GO

1. Instead of salad dressing, which can easily make your salad... not so healthy. Use olive oil, lemon, salt&pepper, and some garlic! I actually prefer this over any type of salad dressing! It's so refreshing!

2. For breakfast I like to eat granola, almond milk and grapes. Its a lot healthier for you than a bowl of cereal with milk. The almond milk I use in called Almond Breeze and it is 40 calories per serving! I buy the box of Blue Menu granola from superstore and put purple seedless grapes in it :) It is my FAVOURITE thing to eat! You can also put blueberries or any type of fruit you want in with the granola! I eat it cold :)

3. Sometimes when I'm getting a bit bored of green tea, I will mix green tea & peppermint tea together! It adds such a nice flavour! Not only will you get the benefits of green tea; weight loss, healthier immune system & great skin. But with the peppermint tea, it helps getting rid of headaches, sinus congestion, upset tummies & menstrual cramps. You'll have minty fresh breathe too!

4. Double chocolate protein powder! My favourite protein shake to make consists of; a banana, almond butter, almond milk, flaxseed, and one scoop of protein powder. Put that all in the blender, add some ice to however thick you want it to be, and VOILA! the BEST treat in the world! Protein shakes are great to drink before or after the gym. Sometimes when i'm on the go I will drink of for breakfast. Especially when I have sore muscles from a workout. The powder repairs muscles fast! I use this protein:

5. My FAVOURITE snack in the world is apples and natural peanut butter. I like to use Gala apples because they have the best taste that goes with peanut butter! I use natural peanut butter because it is much healthier and keeps a lot more of the natural fats and proteins in it. Also has less sugar then something like Kraft peanut butter! It is a great power snack. Especially before a workout.

HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS FRIDAYS FAVOURITES :)

XOXO
