hot mom high protein dinners
It’s giving: protein goals met, dinner stress canceled, and zero time wasted.
peanut butter banana chocolate chip oat Bars
I’ve made these a few times now, and they are a huge hit every time! These can be made with both regular PB and powdered PB or even almond butter to suit your nutrition goal needs. They’re also really good with chocolate protein powder instead of the vanilla! Serves 12, macros below!
healthy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies
I’m not usually a big baker, but for some reason over the last few months when I’ve been stressed, I’ve had an urge to bake cookies. Because I was baking more than usual, I wanted to find a healthier alternative – and these were born! Took me a handful of tries to get it right, but these ended up being so good and even packed more protein than the average cookie! Makes 23 cookie
pumpkin chocolate chip cookies
POV: you’re riding the post workout endorphin wave, Lizzo is blasting, and decide to bake pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. This is what happens.
These cookies are easy on the macros, but still so freaking good. I made these for a little get together and they were a hit—not a single cookie was left behind! This recipe makes 26 cookies.
carrot cake protein cookies
While I’d love to eat carrot cake every day of the week…that’s just not in line with some of my goals. So, I adapted my favorite dessert to be more macro-friendly with an extra boost of protein!

birthday cake protein bites
Kickin’ off the celebrations with some birthday cake protein bites! These are great for a grab & go protein packed snack, or just to satisfy a sweet tooth. I used a combination of reduced fat PB & the honey flavored @1stphorm Nut Butter to give this a little more flavor – but you can use whatever kind of PB you like, as long as it’s creamy or “drippy” 🥜
salted caramel & chocolate pancake bites
Yesterday I got hit with a crazy salted caramel and chocolate craving (my all time favorite), but with no actual candy around the house I decided to improvise AND keep it macro friendly! This is legitimately only 4 ingredients, and wildly I had them all on hand in the pantry. Makes 12 full sized “muffins” but like…pancakes? Lol.
