I love snacks.
I love cookie dough.
I love chocolate chips.
I love it all. So I put it all in one. With a little protein powder to boot.
Stomach bug went away! Hallelujah. Not working out and napping most of the day makes JB feel like one soft gummy bear. Ugh, don’t you hate when I talk to myself in the third person? I sure do. Anywho, I’m back to my normal schedule without feeling like a sick gummy bear. Thank goodness. Everyone I know is getting sick lately. Hell, I was sick 3 times this season. THREE. And the season isn’t even over!! I think I only got sick once last year, but this season, the bugs have got the best of me. What is that about?
Moving on. Remember the other day, when I told you I was going to Vegas soon and asked for some advice about what shows I should see and what restaurants are the best? Well, luckily I got a few comments. But I still need more. A lot of people told me about off the strip stuff, which I’m sure is amazing, but to be honest, I want to be a tourist. I’ve never been to Vegas, so I want to live it up. Thankfully, I’m not 21 anymore, so I’m not looking to drink myself into a blackout, all while doing it as cheap as possible. I’m willing to spend a little money. So lay it on me people. Give me more places to visit.
I think my biggest stressor about Vegas is what I’m going to wear. I don’t really dress 21 year old slutty anymore. Now please don’t take that offensively if you’re 21. I’m speaking from my own experience. When I weighed 26 pounds and could fit into skin tight dresses. Well, that’s not really my style anymore. And I have more curves to work with along with some confidence. So what’s a girl to wear? Comfy shoes, obviously. But if I’m wearing comfy shoes, what do I wear along with them? Time to go shopping!!! Which means online. Obviously. Presents arriving at your doorstep is always the best plan.
That was an entirely pointless blog post. Kbye.

Re trip to Vegas – you have to go to the Hoover Dam – amazing – depending on how long you are away there are day trips to the Grand Canyon – Vegas was never on my bucket list but a few years ago I ended up there and loved it – didn’t get to half the things I wanted and I would go back in a heatbeat! Re shows – there is usually at least one Cirque du Soleil and they are all good! Enjoy! Clothes – layers – temp range throughout day is crazy! Sorry to sound like Mother – I just naturally revert to that role!
Are you planning on going to Sunday Rehab at the Hard Rock? I know you are asking about places to eat but I think it is worth experience this pool party once while in Vegas. There is a live DJ and people dance and drink liter size drinks in and around the pool. I think they also have a place called the Pink Taco that you can eat at while there. Take picture if you go and have fun!
i just don’t think the pools will be open come February…
What can I substitute for the coconut butter? Would coconut oil work? These look so good!
you can make your own coconut butter with coconut flakes and a food processor
Question…..I don’t know much about these chocolate chips, I see they get great reviews. I’m assuming they are paleo? Are they better than using a 70% or higher chocolate? I’d love a bit of info on them. Thanks!
i don’t know if you can consider any chocolate totally paleo, but i like them because they are gluten, soy and dairy free. but if you can find a dark chocolate without weird additives, definitely use that! whatever you like best 🙂
You sould see a Cirque du Soleil show. They are AMAZING. I saw “O” and Mystere in Vegas years ago and they were both awesome. I haven’t been to Vegas for a while but I’ve heard there are a lot more Cirque shows to choose from. I would bet any of them would be awesome.
Will it still be just as amazing without the protein powder and coconut sugar?
I just made them with dates instead of coconut sugar and they are bomb. I’m pretty sure you could just add flax or almond flour or any other ground up paleo thing in place of protein. But protein powder adds some vanilla, so you may want to add that back in…
If anyone else is using raw vegitable protein–orange zest/juice fixes it right up and tastes fancy with the choc chips
If I wanted to leave out the protein powder would I need to add more of something or just omit all together?
i’m not sure since i haven’t made it another way, but you could probably use shredded coconut or something
Do you count your daily sugar intake? If so how many grams do you have? Or how do you deal with no over dosing on sugar! I think sugar is my nemesis
no i don’t. but i know that sugar definitely changes my body and messes with my hormones. so when i’m trying to be strict, i just try to not consume much. i don’t like to get too anal about it.
I adore protein balls…but add in chocolate and I’m done! Yum. I am making these for my afternoon snack.
I love Rent the Runway. A year ago I used them to snag a dress for my work holiday party. They allow you to order your dress and a second size for no cost to ensure you get something that works. Love this site!
LOVE your naughty creations!!!!
Rent the Runway is awesome! My mom works retail and tells girls to go there if they don’t want to drop some major duckets on a dress.
You have to go to the Ice Bar in Manadlay Bay! The Thunder from Down under show, sit in the back and just watch all the old Bettie’s so bananas!!!! It’s hilarious.
Margaritaville for cheap margaritas but they’re huge!
I’d rock some sweet wedges, still hot…yet comfy! Bring ballet foldable flats in your bag just in case!
