This recipe is for the ‘hangry’ child who comes home from school and cannot think until they have eaten. Do you know that child? Or perhaps you are that parent? I know I am when I am hungry, I cannot focus and boy am I grumpy! This recipe is full of quality protein to balance blood sugar, nutrient dense fats for our brains, and naturally sweetened fruit for a bit of carb to fire up our brain. You can always change the nut butters up so it taste different every time.
Ingredients:
Peanut Butter Cookie Dough
2 tbsp coconut flour
1 tbsp Mayver’s All Natural Peanut Butter
1 tbsp coconut sugar
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
tiny pinch sea salt 1 tsp water
Peanut Butter Banana Shake
2 very ripe bananas, peeled, sliced, and frozen
1/4 cup unsweetened milk of your choice
1 tbsp Mayver’s All Natural Peanut Butter (or any of Mayver’s nut butters)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Method:
Peanut Butter Cookie Dough
- Combine flour, peanut butter, coconut sugar, vanilla, and sea salt and use a fork to mix until crumbly.
- Add in the water and mix again until just incorporated.
- Scoop out about 2 teaspoons of the mixture, roll into a ball, and repeat. It yields approximately 4 cookie dough balls.
- Pop in freezer until ready to use.
Peanut Butter Banana Shake
- In a food processor, combine the banana, nut milk, peanut butter, and vanilla. Pulse a few times and then process until thick and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add 2 of the cookie dough balls and pulse 5 to 10 times to roughly chop.
- Scoop into 2 small glasses.
- Crumble remaining peanut butter cookie dough balls and sprinkle on top.
