Caramel Toffee Overnight Oats with Vega Protein Made Simple

*** Vega sent me their new protein powder product line, Protein Made Simple, to try out. While this post uses free products, the opinions are entirely my own. ***

Vega Protein Made Simple

I was so excited to try out the new Vega Protein Made Simple protein powders! These protein powders have the minimum number of ingredients possible – in fact each protein powder has between 4-8 ingredients, and it is subtly sweetened with cane sugar, instead of stevia.

I was really curious to see how these protein powders would taste. Can you really have a great tasting protein powder with only 4 ingredients? I had to try all the flavors to find out!

Vega Protein Made Simple comes in four flavors: Vanilla, Dark Chocolate, Strawberry Banana and Caramel Toffee.

Fathers Day Recipe: Healthy Turtle Cookies

Leave a Comment

It’s Almost Fathers Day!

For Father’s Day this year, I wanted to make a healthy dessert that had my husband’s favorite flavors in it, and was also healthier and tasted delicious! 

Does anyone else find it hard to make a healthy dish that you husband or father actually likes??? 

I take this as my personal challenge every time I am coming up with a recipe. My husband, Cody, is a tough food critic. All my recipes are tested on him and my kids to make sure they are really delicious. If I get the seal of approval from him, I know the recipe is a good one!

I went to work trying to find ideas for a healthy dessert recipe. Should I do a brownie recipe? No, my previous attempts at a healthier brownie were met with …. criticism, shall we say. How about a cheesecake? I definitely want to do a cheesecake because my husband loves cheesecake, but I didn’t have by cream cheese in the house.

So after some in-depth research, (aka late night Pinterest searching), I realized that I needed to make the ultimate candy-inspired cookie…. the Turtle cookie!
