Continuing the theme of ‘lunchbox or travel snacks,’ another recipe evolved and these Crunchy Raw Protein Cookies may be my current favourite!
It just astounds me how a raw cookie can be crunchy. Totally tastes like it’s cooked, only it’s not!

Coconut Protein Chews
So following on from last week’s blog I wanted to give you a sweet treat recipe removing as many polyunsaturated fats as possible but still have it taste amazing and here it is! Coconut Protein Chews.
Protein Chocolate Bars
Everyone seems to live life in a rush these days, racing to work, play or exercise. I don’t think it’s slowing down any time soon, so these Protein Chocolate Bars will have you eating healthy on the run.
This is why I love my protein packed treats that you can make once a week and keep in the fridge or freezer for a quick breakfast or snack any time.
Coco Loco Protein Shake
So how was your protein intake from last week’s blog? Are you getting enough or too much maybe? As promised though, here is my protein shake recipe that I use to boost my protein if it’s looking a bit on the low side.
Protein Bar Chewy Chocolate
This Protein Bar recipe was another accident as I am still on my quest to make a brownie type of treat without a truckload of dates in it. Everything still turns out yum, if not an interestingly different texture to what I envisaged. However once again it’s good enough to add to the recipe list and something I would make again.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cups
In my overweight days, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups were a food that I would eat until I was sick or finished the whole packet whichever was first. Oi vey!
There was something about the combination of Peanut Butter and Chocolate that just had me all a twitter. It was the flavour I used to pick at Baskin Robbins ice-cream place too, when I used to eat that; however one little scoop of all that richness and I already felt sick, so I didn’t need to eat lots of it Ha ha.
Luckily though I worked out that the key problem causing all of my out of control eating was not understanding sugar. Once you pair it with nutrients, you can still enjoy all the chocolatey, buttery goodness and stop at one or two. Hooray for health food! I love it.
Peanut butter chocolate slice
It’s no secret that I am a fan of Chocolate and Peanut Butter together and in the past I would easily eat packets of Reese’s Peanut Butter cups until I was sick. Ah such is the lure of junk food. I’m so glad those days are over.
So in it’s place I created a healthy version that allows me to have a normal relationship with this type of food. I still love them to bits and enjoy eating them but because they are nutrient rich, I eat one or two and my body signals scream at me “that’s enough” and I can’t eat any more. A far cry from the past binge eating days.
So most of my weekly batches of Homemade Chocolate are the kind where I make a batch of Peanut Butter balls as well and combine them together. So much rich chocolately goodness, and on the satisfaction scale – 150%!!
