These cookies are PERFECT if you are looking for something simple (15 minutes or less) and this recipe makes 4 1/2 dozen.


Yesterday, I also mentioned I would post a Chocolate Protein Shake from the Biggest Loser cookbook so now it's time for me to share that one with you!

If you read my blog, you know that I am a HUGE fan of the Biggest Loser so I decided to browse thru the cookbook while I was shopping at Target and the page I opened up to happened to be for this shake! I thought, "hey why not I'll text this recipe to Billy so I can make it at home"....instead of buying it {is this cheating?} because I am already asking for the Biggest Loser Dessert cookbook for Christmas.

Speaking of the Biggest Loser....the finale is tonight!!!! I got online and voted once as many times as it would let me for Ada to be in the Final 3! Boo on Elizabeth. She doesn't deserve to be in the Final 3. Ada is AWESOME!!! I'm glad Kristen @ Busy Bee agrees with me on this one :) We had a nice email chat about how much Elizabeth sucks! haha
Who do you think will win?!?

Anyways...back to the recipe. I have made it twice in 2 days. It is so chocolate-y and satisfies that crazy sweet tooth craving of mine BUT only has 105 calories! You can make it in the morning for breakfast or have it post workout :)
