#ad #stokpartner 20 grams of protein…and no espresso machine required 🙌

I need my first coffee of the day to be hot, but always crave an iced coffee around 3 p.m…which is why @stokcoldbrew’s NEW Decaf Cold Brew is PERFECT. (my caffeine cut-off is 2 p.m otherwise I won’t sleep 🤪).

I’ve been using it to make a shaken cold brew because a) shaking it makes it extra cold and refreshing and frothy and b) it’s the most delicious way to get in extra protein. (it’s the same taste as the original, just decaf).

comment COLD BREW and I’ll send you all the deets: full recipe, link to all the products I use (ingredients, blender, jars/lids), etc. And be sure to grab STōK Decaf Cold Brew at @krogerco

this is one of my favorite ways to prep spaghetti squash and it works SO WELL with a burrito-inspired filling.

@fage Sour Cream makes these sugar cookie bites tender, moist, and not too sweet.

oreo mcflurry cheesecake cups!! 🍦🍫

turned my biggest pregnancy craving into a high protein DREAM

grab the recipe below, or comment “RECIPE” and I’ll send it straight to your DMs 🥰

1 (5.3-ounce) cup 2% or full-fat cottage cheese (like the @good_culture cups); otherwise measure out a heaping 1/2 cup
1/4 cup 2% or full-fat plain Greek yogurt (I always use @fage)
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 Oreos
1/2 ounce bittersweet chocolate, chopped (or ~2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips)
1/2 teaspoon refined coconut oil

Drain the cottage cheese, if needed. (The less liquid you start with, the thicker the cheesecake mixture!).

Combine the cottage cheese, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla in a mini food processor or high-speed personal blender. Process until fully whipped and combined, scraping down the bottom and sides as needed. Crumble in one Oreo and pulse until mixed in (you can make it as smooth or chunky as you like).

Crumble the second Oreo into the bottom of the now-empty cottage cheese cup (or small bowl). You can do this with your hands or, for finer crumbs, place it in a ziplock bag and smash it with a rolling pin. Spoon the cheesecake mixture into the cup.

Combine the chocolate and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Use a spoon to spread the chocolate over the top of the mixture.

Freeze until the chocolate is completely set, at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour. (Any longer, and the mixture will begin to freeze…you instead want it to be a thick pudding/mousse-like texture). I’d say 20-30 minutes is the sweet spot.

Crack the chocolate shell and dig in! 🥄
