As a mother I'm always looking for ways to get "healthy" into snacks. Not to mention that I myself get bored of the same old routines. I took one of my favorites, the AdvoCare Meal Replacement Shake mix and started searching for ways I could use all the benefits of the nutrition and 1:1 protein to carb ratio and put it into something new and attractive enough to a 7 year old!
First experiment was combining fall elements with the Pumpkin Protein Cookies. Indulge in this delicious fall treat without feeling guilty!
Pumpkin Protein Cookies
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup applesauce
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 egg
1/4 cup vanilla AdvoCare Meal Replacement Shake
1 tbsp molasses
2 T honey or Agave nectar
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Combine ingredients in a bowl, stirring until well combined. Drop cookies onto baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Makes appx 12 cookies.
Per Serving: 111 calories, 20 carbs, 2 fat, 5 protein, 16 sodium, 3 fiber
The second experiment was a new breakfast version of banana oatmeal muffins. These delicious morning treats are great for grabbing on the way out the door or for a kid friendly breakfast! Both my daughter and I give them two thumbs up! Note: I didn't use blueberries but they were yummie without.
AdvoCare Meal Replacement Muffins

1/2 cup plain yogurt blueberries to taste

Mix all the muffin ingredients together, then pour in greased muffin tin or with paper cups.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. (Mine were in for 20)
