Needless to say, when I called my grandma and told her I was attempting to make buckeyes healthy, her one request was that I do "my best to keep the taste the same."
I did it. After a bit of trial and error, lots of recipe looking up online, and plenty of research, I found the best health high protein peanut butter buckeye recipe.
Buckeyes are a combination of a peanut butter nougat that has been dipped in chocolate. A buckeye should be soft, delicious, and hit the sweet spot. They're smaller in size, think protein ball, and less of protein bar.
They've always been a hit at every function I've made them for. So, to have a healthier alternative is a win for me.
This recipe went viral on TikTok and we have to agree with the masses - IT IS GOOD. It's gluten free, and it's a fun dessert like breakfast that screams healthy.
Aside from being delicious, it's almost super rich in minerals, protein, and healthy goodies.
When this was baking in my oven, I had the entire family coming over to ask me what I was making because it smelled so good!
In a world filled with delicious cooler weather treats, these protein cinnamon rolls really elevate my winter weather treat status.
As soon as these were ready, my family gobbled these up instantly. Then, the next day, the requests came flying in again. My toddler was begging for "cinnman circles," and my son was salivating when I pulled my second batch out.
Cinnamon rolls have been notoriously known for being devilishly good. But I thought, well, how can I make these a little bit healthier? And that’s when this idea hit me.
Cake. Candy Canes. Sprinkles. Yep- I'm here for it. ESPECIALLY if it's got protein and nutrients in it.
The holiday season tends to disrupt my normal diet. I've been on a slow and steady health journey over the last year and I'd like to keep myself going strong, even during my weakness: HOLIDAY TREAT SEASON.
Over this past year, I made a really great and simple healthy cake pop recipe that I keep revisiting with different toppings and tasty accessories. So when I was brainstorming which dessert to have in the refrigerator for my sweet tooth this season, using this recipe was a no brainer.
They are simple and easy to make. Also, they only require 7 ingredients.
It is a perfect treat to make for kids and adults alike. Who does not love the taste of s’mores?
The best part? Because of the addition of protein powder to these bars, they can be used a wonderful way to hold you over in between meals. There are 3 scoops of protein in this recipe and each scoop has 25g of protein in it. It is a win!
These bars can be ready in about 3o minutes. Great for cookouts, or even to be premade for the kid’s lunchboxes!
