1. Chocolate Hummus & Strawberries

Simple. Easy. Delish. I am hooked on HEB's chocolate hummus like my life depends on it. It's way cheap, way low on calories, and goes good with practically any fruit. I love to put it on bananas and raspberries as well, but strawberries have got to be my go to. What girl doesn't love chocolate covered strawberries?!
2. Chocolate or Caramel Rice Cakes

Rice! Cakes! I love rice cakes so so so much, and I think it's because they make me feel full even though they are so light on the tummy! I love eating the mini ones by themselves like popcorn or covering the big ones in peanut butter, banana slices, honey, or chocolate hummus. If I want something salty, a tomato basil rice cake with cheese is life! If there's a craving, there's a rice cake to solve it, I promise.
3. Protein Mug Cake

Have your cake and eat it too! All you need is:
One scoop of protein (my fave is pure protein), 1/4 c of the milk of your choice, 1/2 tsp. of baking soda, and 2 tbsp. of cocoa. If I want a hint of peanut butter I just do 1 tbsp. of cocoa and 1 tbsp. of PB2. Mix it all together in a mug and microwave for about a minute and top with whatever you want! A few chocolate chips, whipped cream, and Halo Top ice cream are all popular toppings in my kitchen.
4. Protein Brownie Batter

I saved the best for last. NO JOKE this stuff tastes like I'm at my grandma's house licking the spoon even though mom told me not to. In a mug or bowl mix 1 scoop of protein, 1 tbsp. of cocoa, 8g of sugar-free pudding mix (my fave is cheesecake), and 12g of PB2. Mix in milk as you stir until you have the consistency you desire. Some nights I want it super thick, other nights I want it creamier. This recipe will have you putting on muscle mass and licking your bowl clean.
A lot of people ask, sweets or abs? I say why not both?!?!
