L“. be honest and agree that we have all at one time

or another given in to that little voice inside our heads
telling us to eat the cookies, or doughnuts, or whatever the
temptation may be. Especially during those midterm weeks,
or late nights writing or marking papers, it can be really hard
to say no. As a student myself I understand the need to snack
while you study and do school work, so how about we skip the
freshmen fifteen, and go for some healthier options that trick
you into thinking they are treats. Sounds great, right?

I hope you enjoy the treats I am about to share with you, but
remember portion control always counts, and maybe try
drinking a glass of water before indulging as sometimes your
body is truly thirsty and you may mistake it for hunger.

Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
What you'll need:

1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1/2 cup oat flour

1/4 cup coconut flour

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tsp stevia (sugar substitute)

1 tsp baking powder

lege

1 tsp peppermint extract

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
5 tbsp almond milk

1 tbsp chocolate chips (optional)

Directions: Mix all above ingredients together well,

spread into 8-10 cookies on baking sheet (with

parchment paper), add a couple of chocolate chips if

you would like and press them down on top of each
cookie, flattening the cookie out. You may also use
cranberries or almonds if you do not wish to use chocolate
chips. Bake at 350 for approximately 10 minutes.

Yogurt Cheesecake Bowl

3/4 cup plain greek yogurt

1/2 package of sugar free Jello (raspberry, strawberry)
3 tbsp fat free white chocolate Jello pudding powder

1 tbsp light cream cheese

with a spoon, adding the jello last and blend

some more. Be sure to let Jello stand in fridge
for 3 hours prior to mixing all ingredients.

1/2 cup rolled oats (or quick oats etc)

1/2cup of peanut butter (or almond butter etc)

Directions: Combine all above ingredients (I use my hands)
and mix until well-incorporated. Roll into balls and place
evenly on a plate or in a Tupperware container, keep
refrigerated. Feel free to add some chocolate chips, crushed
almonds, cranberries, unsweetened coconut, etc. Try not
to eat them all at once, because they are that good! Enjoy!

Banana Muffins
What you'll need:

2 and 1/2 cups oats

1 cup plain greek yogurt

2 eggs

1/4 cup honey for taste (or use stevia drops)

1and 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 bananas

Chocolate chips (optional) ( or cranberries, raisins, etc)

Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray muffin
tin with non-stick spray, cover with coconut oil, or

line with foil liners. Place all ingredients in a blender,
adding the oats a cup at a time, until smooth. Divide the
batter into the muffin tins, bake for 15-20 mins, or until
toothpick comes out clean. Keep an eye on them as all
ovens are different, baking time may be a bit less. Enjoy!

I hope you find these treats helpful with your cravings in
times of need. They are not only great as a treat, but also

a snack, as long as you remember portion control! They
will satisfy both your waistline and your taste buds-best of
both worlds! Until next time, stay humble, stay hungry!
