ugh. time to come clean. i am so in love with this woman it is outrageous. i just watched this TEN MINUTE VIDEO on how to look like Elizabeth Taylor. i am never ever in a million years going to do any of the things shown in this video, i just watched it for the sheer joy of jane marie. she is so smart and beautiful and good at being both and it makes me actually sad that we will never be friends. also she makes me want to wear a zillion pounds of makeup. ladies, get on this. you will never be the same.

i CANNOT stop eating these little treats...

no-bake vegan peanut butter chocolate chip balls

combine:

1/2 cup peanut butter or any nut butter

3-4 tbsp flour OR use protein powder

3-4 tbsp honey or any sweetener (maple syrup, agave)

1 tsp vanilla extract

stir it up! if it's too wet, add a little more flour. if it's too dry, add more sweet stuff.

when you're ready...

add a handful of carob or dark chocolate chips

stir some more

shape into balls and put in fridge

peanut butter-honey-chocolate

a winning combination

perfect little protein snack for vegans and non-vegans alike

enjoy from the comfort of your own home

easy, breezy, beautiful balls!
