A Sweet Treat...

Shakeology Cookies! 

I love sweets! They are by far my biggest weakness! So, discovering a sweet treat that is healthy is a big WIN! These are No Bake Shakeology Cookies and they are delicious!  

Ingredients:

1 cup of Chocolate Shakeology (You could also use vanilla-but chocolate is DELISH)

1 cup of Natural Peanut Butter (I use Trader Joe's All Natural Creamy)

1 cup of  organic Quick Cook Oats 

1/3 cup of honey

Directions: 

Mix peanut butter, honey, Shakeology, & quick oats in a bowl until combined. Roll batter into approximately 1 inch balls and flatten between palms into cookie shape. I made 30 little cookies with one recipe. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving (I left them in the fridge over-night.)

Did you know that Shakeology has over 70 ultra-healthy super foods, 23 vitamins and minerals, protein and essential amino acids, antioxidants, phytonutrients, prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive enzymes, so this is all packed into each little "cookie". 

I store mine in this airtight container in the refrigerator and my entire family enjoys them!
