If You Give Joanna A Cookie

IMG_5835Have you read the book If You Give A Mouse a Cookie? It’s one of my favorite children’s books of all time. It’s a sweet tale about a mouse who is given a cookie and then wants a glass of milk to go with it. The mouse makes other requests along the way, but I don’t want to give away the ending. Anyway, the mouse and I have a lot in common because…

If You Give Joanna a Cookie she’ll probably want a latte to go with it.

When I was shopping at Whole Foods a few weeks ago I stumbled upon Country Choice Organic soft baked cookies. After reading the nutritional facts, I decided this was a cookie I could sink my teeth into without feeling guilty. So far I’ve tried their oatmeal chocolate chip and double fudge brownie cookies and I’ve savored every bite of the 100 calorie treats.

Sometimes I enjoy these cookies with a Whole Latte Protein and other times I spice things up with a …

  • 1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1 packet Starbucks VIA instant coffee
  • 2 T pumpkin puree
  • 1/8 t pumpkin pie spice
  • 3/4 cup water

Blend ingredients together in your Magic Bullet or shaker. Pour into a coffee cup and microwave for 45-60 seconds. Top with cinnamon or nutmeg.

A Whole Latte Protein

IMG_5181Too cold for a protein shake? Here’s a way to get your protein and your latte or hot chocolate fix all in one.

A Whole Latte Protein

  • 1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder
  • 8 ounces of water (room temperature or cold)

Mix ingredients together in your Magic Bullet or shaker. Pour into a coffee cup and microwave for 60 seconds.

For a shot of caffeine, try replacing the water with coffee, but make sure the coffee is around room temperature so it does not create clumps.

Now, I’m off to Fitness & Spicebucks for another Venti Non-fat Protein Latte.

I hope you have a grande!
