For those of us who want to better implement health in our kids lives without them feeling deprived of the occasional 'sweet treat', I had a light bulb mom moment! Seeing as baking with Shakeology would destroy some of the nutrient dense qualities we want to benefit from I put a new spin on the no bake cookie recipe using Chocolate Shakeology, and my critic agree (6) and that these cookies ROCK!!
* 2 cups white sugar or I prefer 1 1/2 cups of xylitol or Truvia
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup butter
* 1/2 cup milk
* 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
* 3 cups rolled oats
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 scoop of Chocolate Shakeology
1. In a medium/large saucepan, over med. heat, combine the sugar, salt, butter and milk. Bring to a boil, then boil for 1 full minute. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter, oats and vanilla. Using a candy thermometer wait until temp drops below 180* or just until it feels at room temp and then add your scoop of Chocolate Shakeology. Immediately drop by spoonfuls (I use an ice cream scoop) onto waxed paper. Decorate with candy corns etc. Let stand until completely cool and smile as your kids enjoy a special treat, okay you can have one too!
