NO BAKE healthy Chocolate Cookies packed FULL of energy


SHAKEOLOGY COOKIES!!

How did cookies become the Healthiest Meal of the Day®? When an enterprising Team Beachbody® chef figured out how to have their Shakeology and eat it, too. Simple to make and delicious to eat—you’ll never guess how healthy you’re being.

1 cup of raw almond butter
1 cup of organic oatmeal (quick)
1/3 to 1/2 cup of organic honey (according to desired sweetness)
1 cup of Chocolate Shakeology

Combine in bowl and mix well. Roll into balls (about a heaping teaspoon). Makes 10 cookies.

Optional: Roll the balls in crushed nuts or unsweetened coconut flakes before serving.

PERFECT for a pre workout snack! Eat 1 cookie about an hour to an hour and a half before work outs. One complaint I hear MOST about exercise from women mainly is how HUNGRY they start feeling during their work out, to the point that they quit early or grab for the easiest thing to shove down their throats for food, which normally ends up being a BAD DECISION out of impaired survival mode choice. We tend to use app 100 calories per hour just to run our machines at sedentary (digestion, brain function, lung expansion, etc..all requires calories).

SO, 1 of these bad boys 1 hour before your work out will leave you with about 150 cal's for energy during your work out. Most work outs average anywhere from 200-500 calories per hour depending on the type of work out and how hard you push yourself. You should be able to get through your work out with this, without the issue of hunger pangs and poor concession purchases on the way home from the gym. Snickers DO NOT satisfy after a work out folks. When you get home, have your Shakeology recovery drink and I can almost guarantee that you won't have cravings for crap anymore if you follow this routine. :)

Off to bake these yummy treats!
