Bring it on, PILLSBURY.

Cookie dough has to be the most delicious thing ever. But everyone knows its not very healthy, UNFORTUNATELY. Seriously, I could bathe in cookie dough (weird, I know, I always say weird stuff like that, but you know what I mean). Its just too too good!

In an effort to eat very cleanly (see goal post below!). I wanted to figure out a way to satisfy my sweet tooth, while putting good things into my body.  This morning I made some chocolate-peanut butter flax cookie dough balls! I admit, they are not as good as regular cookie dough (this picture does them no justice!), but hey they're pretty good and for only 95 calories and the nutritional punch they pack, I'll TAKE IT!

Recipe: makes 7
    6 tbsp flaxseed
    2 tbsp peanut butter
    2 tbsp chocolate chips
    2 tbsp coconut flour (you can omit if you don't have)
    2 tbsp honey
    1 tbsp cacao powder

Just mix everything together. Roll into balls. Put in freezer!

Do you strive to eat a very clean diet?

  10. Yeah I'm definitely guilty of taking a spoon to the cookie dough tub (yes, I said tub) many times in the past. Clean eating just feels so much better though :)
