Happy Weekend
Hi, guys! 
Just a quickie post– mostly for accountability’s sake, but also to tell you about a cool event taking place in New York City next weekend that you could win a ticket to attend!
Snack
At NuVal, I made myself a mug of sugar-free hot cocoa. And, when I got home, I whipped up a 3-Minute Cookie, but I changed the recipe to give it a more “cake-y” texture.
I combined the following ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl:
- 1/4 cup oats
- 1/8 cup liquid egg whites
- 1 tbsp smooth peanut butter
- 1 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp Vega Smoothie Infusion
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
Then, I nuked the mixture in the microwave for 60 seconds. The consistency was softer and denser than my original recipe. It was also more filling. I actually might like this “cookie” better.
Pure Yoga Event

I love the sounds of the remix on the 3 minute cookie – I need to give both recipes a try!

I gotta try that cookie!
Cool giveaway!

I really need to try this awesome microwave cookie!

Hey Tina, have you tried PB2? It is lower in fat and calories than regular peanut butter. I know you have your favorite and I totally understand that you don’t get between a girl and her favorite peanut butter. I am asking because it would go really well in the cookie! It would give you the flavor and cut back on some of the fat/calories. It is not as sweet as regular peanut butter, so I like to add a little vanilla stevia drops to it…so good. Just thought I would suggest it. Speaking of which…I need to try this cookie soon!

The cookies are looking and sounding better all the time. I need to jump on the bandwagon and give it a go!

I just tried your original cookie about 5 minutes ago. All I have to say is yum!! I gave mine an “icing” of 2tsp vanilla yogurt mixed with 1 tsp peanut butter. and it was heaven!! Loved it, you are a genius!
Jasmine @ Eat Move Write — January 22, 2010 @ 7:47 pm
Your cookies are so interesting. I might have to give it a try.
I’d love to attend that event, but there’s no way I could get to NY. Whoever gets it will love it, I’m sure!
Contest on my page. My very first, check it out!

I love the idea for the different kind of cookie! i’m a little obsessed at this point…trying it out tomorrow!

What a great opportunity!
That cakier cookie sounds delicious!

you’re really mastering that cookie recipe!

I am so wanting to try this cookie, love the addition of Greek yogurt. This weekend I am giving it a whirl. We going skiing, Think I could put this in my pocket instead of a power bar? I would like this better, the bars are too sweet for me. This cookie is better balanced.

Hi Tina,
I’ve been reading your blog for upwards of 2 years now, but have never commented. I wanted to do so now, however, to tell you I think you’re fantastic and to share the following link with you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPsXCXSn7WU
If you are afraid to click on it (I’m super virus-conscious also), go to youtube and search “play him off keyboard dog”… excessively adorable pug footage. Guaranteed to make you smile!

Jessica @ How Sweet It Is — January 23, 2010 @ 12:15 am
I like the more cake like cookie idea! Sounds yummy!
Heather @ Get Healthy With Heather — January 23, 2010 @ 9:28 am
Awww wish I lived close so that I could try to win a ticket. Looks like lots of fun!
Jenna — January 23, 2010 @ 9:43 am
Lovin those cookies!!
Lindsay — January 23, 2010 @ 10:18 am
Hi there! This was my second attempt at making your cookie. The first time I added amazing meal to it and i could not even eat it. This time I skipped the amazing meal and added the greek yogurt and barney butter and its edible, but not delicious. It sort of tastes like a protein pancake. Hmm.. guess I have to keep playing with it.
