• Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Balls

This recipe is great as an on-the-go breakfast snack before you take the kids to school, an afternoon energizer before your workout, or a late-night treat when the chocolate cravings hit. You also can freeze these tasty items for the next time your sweet tooth kicks in and you just have to have some cookie dough. Get the recipe here.

• Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

PB&Js are comforting, delicious, protein packed, versatile and convenient, and our take on this childhood classic will have everyone coming back for seconds and thirds. Next time your young ones ask for something to snack on, skip the sugary stuff and go straight for this fun, portable, non-messy, healthy sandwich. And while you’re at it, go ahead, make one for yourself. Be a kid again. It’s allowed. Get the recipe here.

• Peanut Butter Fruit Dip

This Peanut Butter Fruit Dip is so creamy and delicious that even the pickiest of eaters won’t be able to resist a dip or two (or 10!). One recipe yields about 4 servings of dip, so you actually could eat it all in one sitting. Or you could enjoy some now and refrigerate the rest for later. Try it with assorted fruits, pretzels and cookies – or just a spoon. Get the recipe here.

• Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

These Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are a healthier take on a traditional treat. Our recipe is packed with protein, making it perfect for helping your body recover after a long workout. Get the recipe here.

• Almond Soft Serve Ice Cream

If you don’t devour this all in one sitting, you can store what’s left in a baggy for later. Feel free to go nuts with the toppings – we recommend sprinkles, chocolate chips or a caramel drizzle, but that’s just us! Get the recipe here.
