Gluten Free, Vegan Chocolate Chip Protein Cookie Dough

 

I'm so hooked on this quick, easy snack. It's become a household favorite since our Arbonne journey began.

Wait! Arbonne journey? 

Yep--that happened. Six months ago, I decided I was fed up. I was tired of feeling sick and tired, and I desperately needed a change. I knew I needed to act now, and take charge of my life. I found that change in the form of a simple thirty day reset. 

What I didn't know, however, was just how drastically that choice would change the path I was on. Where I saw a quick, one-month refresh, I actually found a whole-life makeover. I found a passion I didn't know existed, I found a missing puzzle piece for feeling good and fueling my body, and I found an opportunity to stsrt my own little side hustle. 

If you had told me seven months ago that I'd be an Arbonne convert, I'd have laughed in your face! But, well, here we are. I wake up thankful every day for this addition to my life. 

Anyway--enough about me. You're here for a snack! 

It's a simple snack to make, and so satisfying!

You'll Need:

One heaping scoop vanilla protein

Two tablespoons almond meal

A quick sprinkle of salt and a dash of vanilla

Chocolate chips

Walnuts (or not, you decide!)

One tablespoon-ish of mixed nut butter

Almond milk, to desired consistency (start with a tablespoon or so, and mix slowly) 

To Make:

Mix it all up, adding almond milk slowly to achieve your desired consistency, and roll into balls... or just grab a spoon like I did!

If you've got leftovers (ha!) or you wish to make a bigger batch, protein balls store well in the fridge for a couple of days. Make sure they're covered!
