Clean Protein Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Warning: THIS is a GREAT thing to eat on Reset Day! It's also something that you would plan to eat using your Weekly Smartpoints.

For the WHOLE recipe...it's 21 smartpoints. My palette has changed, and so it tastes like cookie dough to me. I'll definitely make it again to eat on another Reset Day. Such a GREAT replacement for full fledged cookie dough and it's totally safe to eat! No raw eggs!

So this baby lasts a LONG time! I still have 1/3 serving left in the fridge to enjoy as a HC meal. If I were to eat this WHOLE THING on a Reset Day, I'd probably make myself sick. I just don't have a high tolerance for sweetness anymore, and this baby...1/3 portion, really satisfies me.

It's a pretty crumbly cookie dough, so I added 1-2 T of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk to make the dough more like actual cookie dough, and because I add so little, there aren't extra points added.

I toggled back and forth with some of the ingredients to try and make it lower points before I even made it. But, I finally came to the conclusion that I needed to make the recipe with the ingredients it called for to really get the full effect of the recipe; I decided that if I wanted to, I could make it again with the changes. Honestly, I'm glad I stuck with the ingredients AND added the almond milk because it was truly delicious.

Clean Protein Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (21 smartpoints)
1/4 t vanilla extract
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 T mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 T Natural Crunchy Peanut Butter
4 T oat flour (I used coconut flour because that's what I had...I could have used regular flour, but I wanted to try the coconut)
1 T raw honey
1-2 T Unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk

Mix all ingredients together and enjoy. Refrigerate for storing if not consuming the whole portion at one sitting.

Friends, 21 smartpoints may seem like a LOT...and it is. But remember, this journey is about LIVING and ENJOYING. If you can make a clean cookie dough recipe and enjoy it (WITH PROTEIN?!), then there is a victory! You may even get to the point of portioning it and savoring every bite. THAT'S what we are working toward.

Don't be afraid of the smartpoints value...You HAVE WEEKLIES TO BE USED!!
Happy tasting,
Camille
