Whats This?

This recipe blog is an extension of my original blog Motivation... Determination... Drive. Having been asked numerous times what is involved in paleo eating and the simple question "so... what can you eat?" I have decided to put this collection together. Some of the recipes will be original, and some will be modifications (or replicas) of recipes I have found in cookbooks books or on line. Every recipe listed will be something I have tried, nothing that I think just looks good and want to attempt. As a disclaimer, I will not take credit for those found at other sources, if you are to use one listed with a link attached please give credit to the original site. Thank You and happy eating!!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites

Week one of the Open 2014 I brought this tasty treat to CrossFit Wachusett to share! They went over pretty well so I thought I would repost the recipe.

The original recipe is from HERE... seriously, check out this amazing food blog. Its called "Living Healthy with Chocolate," I mean, how can you go wrong with that!?!? Of course be careful with the word "paleo" as the chocolate is not exactly 100% paleo and dependant on the brands and types of ingredients you use. 

Also, I doubled the recipe that is listed on the website link because I was making them for a large group. I divided the pan up into 60 small servings. I put the recipe into My Fitness Pal and this is the result of one serving:  Cal. 103, Carb 5g, Fat 8g, Protein 2g.

What you need for the Base:
2/3 C. Pecans
1 C Almond Flour
8 Tbsp Cacao Powder
10 Pitted Dates
1 Tsp Vanilla
1 Tbsp Melted Coconut Oil

What you need for the Top:
1/2 C. Melted Coconut Oil
6 Tbsp Full Fat Coconut Milk
3 Tsp Vanilla
2 Tbsp Honey
3 C. Almond Flour
1 C. Enjoy Life Chips

What You Do:
- In a food processor grid up pecans, put them in a small bowl and set aside
- In the same food processor grind up dates (with no pits) into a paste, might need to add a little water to get it to loosen up.
- In a bowl using a spatula mix together the pecans with almond flour, cacao powder, dates, vanilla and coconut oil. This is not an easy process and will look like it is going to take forever to come together. Don’t add more water just keep working it, it will happen.
- Line a 13X9 pan with parchment paper and press the mixture into the bottom. Set it aside
- Mix together coconut oil, coconut milk, vanilla and honey in a large bowl.
- Add almond flour, do not over mix
- Fold in chips.
- Spread “cookie” over base and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Enjoy!
