Chickpea Lactation Cookie Dough Balls

Picture
Last week I have the pleasure of meeting with Christina from Milk Shakers. Like so many incredible products, Milk Shakers was born out of a mama's trouble shooting genius. Co-founder, Laura Malcom, enjoyed making yummy lactation treats with her toddler to support her milk supply for her new baby.  She was using nutrient rich ingredients like flax, chia, brewers yeast, and fennel and having to source ingredients from multiple places.  As most mamas of littles can attest, having to hunt down ingredients from multiple places with a toddler and baby in tow can be time consuming and frustrating.  Laura enlisted Christina and together they created Milk Shakers!

Before I share this BOMB recipe with you, let me tell you what I love about Milk Shakers.
  1. The ingredients are REAL FOODS!  That's right, I can pronounce everything on the label.  It is simple plant magic at its finest.  Chia, Flax, Brewers Yeast, Cinnamon, Fennel...  You know I can get behind that!  This also means that my family can eat it!  These are all ingredients I give my kids (you can assure your man that he won't start lactating).
  2. It comes ready to use--no hunting down special ingredients or running to Whole Foods at 9 PM in my jammies!  It is so simple-- 1 TBSP is one serving.  The sample sizes are perfect for a batch of 12 cookies/brownies/whatever goodness you'd like.
  3. The products are delicious and easy to use in recipes.  You can literally put Milk Shakers in pretty much anything--From your coffee to your smoothie, your lentils, or your baked goods.  
  4. It was created by women for women.  Laura and Christina saw a need that women had and they stepped up to create a product to make our lives easier, tastier, and healthier.    Can I get an, AMEN?

Chickpea Lactation Cookie Dough Balls

Ingredients
  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas
  • 7-10 dates
  • splash of vanilla
  • 1/2 cup nut butter
  • 1 package (12 TBSP) Milk Shakers Blend
  • 1/2 cup mini vegan chocolate chips (we like Enjoy Life)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut shreds
  • 1/4 cup raw cocoa nibs

Instructions:
  1. Place chickpeas, dates, vanilla, nut butter, and Milk Shakers Blend in food processor and process until dough forms.
  2. Pour in chocolate chips into food processor and pulse until the chocolate chips are mixed in well.
  3. Form golf ball sized balls with the dough and roll them in coconut shreds and cocoa nibs and place in a glass container.
  4. Place in freezer for 1 hour before serving.  I store mine in the freezer.

You can eat these straight up (so good) or they make an amazing topper for smoothie bowls/nicecream.   Just pinch smaller balls off and top your favorite cold treat with them!

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing" ~ Jack Kerouac
