There’s something about recipes with less than 5 ingredients that really excites me.<\/p>\n

We just returned from yet another weekend away (you know how much we love being out and about).\u00a0 After I unloaded a van full of stuff, I do what I always do.\u00a0 Open my fridge door to check out the food situation, and it’s never pretty.\u00a0 In this case, I had a half container of organic cherry tomatoes, a bag of carrots, eggs, mostly eaten tub of hummus, and two lonely avocados.<\/p>\n

I had some frozen entrees in my freezer (thank goodness!) from Farm to Table Meals<\/a>. So we were fine for dinner and lunch box leftovers. It was the snack situation I needed to figure out. Quickly.<\/p>\n

Sienna has karate every Tuesday and Thursday right after school, and it’s critical she has something to nibble before she puts on her gi.<\/p>\n

If not, I’m dealing with irrational meltdowns…either because I didn’t tie her karate belt at the right angle, or I took off her left sock before her right one.\u00a0 She will<\/em><\/span><\/strong> find something to tear up about with that satiating snack.<\/p>\n

And as you know, those snacks have to be balanced with protein and\/or fat and fibre.\u00a0 [p.s. Check out the Balanced Lunch Box Cheatsheet<\/a> for mix and match ideas].<\/p>\n

\"Healthy<\/a><\/p>\n

Given that I had unpacking to do, three bedtimes to manage, and another nutrition presentation to finalize, my window of ‘snack prep’ time was limited last night.<\/p>\n

So I pulled out the colouring books and gave Mackenzie a teether to chew on while I went into creative mode. Thanks to my list of healthy kitchen staples<\/a> I knew I had what I needed.<\/p>\n

And before I knew it I was mashing bananas…<\/p>\n

Tossing in oats…<\/p>\n

Swirling in coconut oil…<\/p>\n

And a scoop of my new favourite protein powder (Purica<\/a>\u00a0or SunWarrior<\/a>) for good measure. [p.s. use promo code BINNS to save 10% on Sunwarrior<\/a>]<\/p>\n

What’s great about these 4 ingredient protein powder cookies is that you’ll likely have everything on hand, and you can customize by adding your own fixin’s.\u00a0 I had a massive Costco sized bag of unsulfured dried apricots, so in they went.<\/p>\n

Fifteen minutes later these protein powder cookies were born.<\/p>\n

Just in time for a hungry 5 month old to start whimpering, and her two sisters to start debating what colour Dora should be.\u00a0 My snack dilemma was solved so I could switch gears and calm the storm that was unfolding.<\/p>\n

Not gonna lie. We *may* have all had a cookie with dinner too. Here’s why<\/a>!<\/p>\n
