Stress during the holidays is usually higher when compared to the other times of the year. And with stress comes the need to eat a high calorie, high carbohydrate food. It's tough to have self-control during the holidays when it comes to food portions. An even tougher challenge is which food or treats to eat that wouldn't make your workouts (results) end in vain. Well, here is a quick and easy healthy treat recipe (compliments of Precision Nutrition) for those of you that have a sweet tooth:
Mixed Nut Cookies
prep time • 20 minutes
1 TBS Olivina (non-hydrogenated olive oil margarine)
1 cup Splenda
1 omega-3 egg
1½ tsp ground cinnamon
2/3 cup pecans, crushed
2/3 cup peanuts, crushed
2/3 cup walnuts, crushed
3 scoops vanilla or chocolate protein powder
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a mixing bowl, mix Olivina, Splenda, omega-3 egg and ground cinnamon.
Next, add crushed pecans, peanuts and walnuts to the bowl.
Finally, add 3 scoops of protein powder and mix well.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, scoop out 6 equal portions of the mixture, separating them about 2 inches apart from one another.
Take a fork and gently press down on them, flattening the mixture into cookies.
Bake for 6 minutes, or until you see the Olivina bubbling from the cookies.
When finished, pull from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
Serve warm or cool, or seal and store in fridge.
Makes 6 servings.
