Since it’s Friday & #Foodiefriday post I want to share another one of ‘My kind of YUMYUMS!’
Who doesn’t like cookie dough?! Try this more natural alternative!! I LOVE THIS STUFF!
Raw Cookie Dough
1 1/2 Cups Chickpeas
1 T Pure Vanilla Extract
1/4 Cup Nut Butter (almond, peanut, hazelnut-whichever you prefer)
1 & 1/4 Cups Pitted Dates
2 T Oats
1 T Milk
Mini Chocolate Chips (you call on how much)
In a cup, cover the dates with water-(the longer they sit the softer they get-I only soaked them the amount of time it took me to mix other ingredients)
Then add all ingredients (including the dates’ soaking liquid), except chocolate chips, to a food processor and blend until very smooth.
Add chocolate chips as desired & ENJOY!

I am 40 yrs. old -a Wife and Mother of 4 (Funny Double Digit Boy, my Rainbow Baby Sassy Girl, my Blue Eyed Silly Boy, and my Sweet-as-can-be Baby Girl). Once a dance instructor and fitness studio owner (closed the doors in 2020). I found my passion in Fitness and Coaching after leaving my Emotionally Taxing Case Management Position. I love to work out on my own AND with others! Throughout all 5 of my pregnancies I continued to work out on my own, run, and with Beachbody programs. I know and understand the self discipline it takes to achieve your desired goals and I am still on that path and have my struggles as everyone else does! I love to offer my support to my clientele with group fitness classes I offer in my community and I feel we work as a team all together to HELP each other. I LOVE offering my support via the web too as I REACH other people that I can't physically see. IT IS AMAZINGLY rewarding and I can't imagine NOT having that as part of my life! Im currently on my postpartum journey once again and so GRATEFUL and BLESSED to live this healthy lifestyle, lead by example for my family, and support others on their journey too!
