If you are craving a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie...

Today I found myself craving a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. As I was purchasing ingredients for a meal I was making for my client and was already at Whole Foods, I headed to their  bakery department. As I was about to pick up my treat, I decided to take a look at the ingredients. Whoa! I was surprised by how many ingredients this simple goody had and quite frankly my mood has changed. I no longer wanted this cookie. Yet, the craving was still there. So, what's a girl to do? 

I was still craving the crunchy oats, the sweet and salty flavors, the gooey chocolate chips, so I decided to make my own version of the cookie. But since I wanted instant gratification, I didn't want to bake one. Besides, who has the time during the a busy day? Below you will find the ingredients and direction for what I created. It actually turned very yummy!

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Un-Cookie
1/2 Cup Rolled Oats
2 Teaspoons of Hot Water

1 Teaspoon Honey (Full of important nutrients and the sweetner I like the best) 
2 Teaspoons Flaxseed Oil (you will get essential Omega-3's)
A handful of cranberries (great vitamin C source)
1 Tablespoon of Walnuts (some more healthy Omega-3's)
A handful of dark chocolate-covered cocoa nibs (this chocolate treat has less sugar and has many anti-oxidants)
A dash of salt (I like PInk Himalayan Salt as it has minerals that help reduce bloating)

First I mixed the first two ingredients to soften up the oats. Second, I added honey and flaxseed oil and then mixed in the rest of ingredients. My un-cookie was softer than regular granola, but not mushy as an oatmeal would be, so I ate with a spoon. It definitely satisfied my craving and I think I will make it for breakfast sometime!

    RE-DISCOVERING YOUR SELF-WORTH

    One of the biggest challenges my clients face when they start working with me is discovering that deep inside them there is a voice that sabotages their successes. Somewhere deep inside there is a voice that keeps telling them that they are not good enough… Continue reading here.
       

    FALL IN LOVE 
    WITH YOURSELF

    One of my favorite Disney movies is Beauty and the Beast. Little girls from an early age are taught to look through the looks and love people for who they are. I think we all consciously try to do that. Except for one person. In my line of work I often see women who can't fall in love with themselves. Continue reading here.
