One-Bowl Dark Chocolate Coconut Cookies

Since the holidays (and being sick for a month STRAIGHT), I have been wanting to desperately share this recipe with y’all. It’s absolutely mouth-watering, yet completely guilt-free.

You know how peanut butter and jelly effortlessly compliment each other? In my opinion, so do coconut and dark chocolate. This yummy recipe tastes like an almond joy in cookie form, only better. And, healthier- free of refined sugar, dairy, and grains. 

Within the past several weeks, I’ve made this recipe multiple times. Evidently, the cookies never lasted long enough to photograph (hence, my delay in sharing them on the blog). LOL, oops. I even brought a batch for Christmas dessert and they were very well loved! 

Two more reasons to make this cookie recipe, other than satisfying those taste buds: 1. You need less than 30 minutes. 2. It only requires using one bowl. Now, that’s what I’m talking about. The perfect, healthy treat for when you’re in a time crunch!

But, before we get to the recipe for my most favorite cookie, I have a couple announcements to make:

  1. I will be starting a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner program in a few weeks, and I am SO EXCITED. After completing the 9 month program, my goal is to help those who suffer from a variety of symptoms and illnesses that seem to be “normal” in today’s society, such as: fatigue, acne, depression, IBS, stubborn weight gain, ADHD, acid reflux, etc. These common symptoms are NOT normal, so I want to help YOU to feel healthy, again. Through this training, I will learn how to use food as medicine to help your body function optimally, and I literally cannot wait.
  2. In the near future, I hope to release brand new training programs for those who are not local to South Texas. As a personal trainer, I don’t want to be limited to helping and serving only those in my area. If you’re interested in working with me one-on-one, but don’t live nearby, don’t you worry. Stay tuned!

    My favoriteeeeeeeeee cookies! After I bake them I throw the rest in the freezer and take one out when I have a craving! They don’t even need to be heated up. Oh so delicious and satisfying.

Coming back atcha with the nourishing food swaps! Coming back atcha with the nourishing food swaps! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We've gotten so backwards with our eating habits and diets, that most of us would consider nourishing foods to be "unhealthy!"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, I'm here to bust these common food myths and get you on the road to a nourished body 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today's focus: cooking oils! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next time you load up on cooking oils, you can walk right past the canola oil, sunflower oil, margarine, and olive oil. These oils are highly unstable, meaning they turn toxic at lower cooking temps. And you never want to cook with them! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead, opt for STABLE cooking oils, like coconut oil, ghee, grass-fed butter, or avocado oil! Not only do these cooking fats stay stable at higher cooking temps, but they also provide essential fat-soluble vitamins, energize your mind and body, and make your food taste so much better! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't believe me? Just try it for yourself and let me know how you feel + how much better your food tastes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Should you drink coffee or skip it?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
IMO, coffee has unfairly gained a bad rap over the last couple years. Sure, it shouldn't be used as a crutch for energy, but it definitely doesn’t need to be ditched all together!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As with most things in life, coffee comes with it's boundaries. Outside it's boundaries, coffee can cause: gut distress, hormonal imbalance, adrenal fatigue, etc. I'm sure most of us have experienced the bathroom problems, jitters, and anxiety coffee CAN cause, which is why I think there's so much confusion around coffee.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, when is coffee a good thing? Within it's ground rules! 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Coffee Ground Rules:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Never drink coffee on an empty stomach. Without food, coffee creates a hormonal catastrophe. It spikes blood sugar and depletes adrenals, leaving you feeling exhausted later in the day and putting your body into a chronic state of stress.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Add grass fed, raw cream/butter, sugar, and/or collagen to your coffee- but only the real stuff! These REAL ingredients will help regulate your blood sugar and feed your adrenals. The worst thing you can do for your thyroid and adrenals is drink coffee black on an empty stomach!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Opt for high quality coffee that is third party tested. Most conventional coffee beans are packed with mycotoxins (aka mold) that isn’t healthy to consume. Looking for coffee that is third party tested helps ensure the quality and benefits of your coffee. Personally, I like Four Sigmatic, Bulletproof, and Illy coffee!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'd be lying if I said I didn't LOVE drinking my hot, frothy cup of coffee each morning. But since learning to enjoy it within it's limits, I've felt a HUGE difference. I'm no longer anxious or jittery because due to drinking black coffee on an empty stomach! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, tell me: did you know these coffee boundaries? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As promised, after a CRAZY few days, we’re back As promised, after a CRAZY few days, we’re back to our regular programming... Starting with adrenal fatigue! 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you suffering from this thing called “adrenal fatigue?”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Unfortunately, most of us are dealing with a degree of adrenal fatigue- thanks to high stress lifestyles, processed diets, exposure to everyday toxins, etc.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even worse, most of these common symptoms are considered "normal” 🙅🏻‍♀️ And most of us just deal with them, thinking it'll never change. But we are so WRONG!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if I told you: you don't HAVE to live with brain fog, fatigue, low libido, insomnia, depression, and/or weight gain?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because it’s true!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you bring your body back into balance, these symptoms naturally dissipate, and once again, you can live with energy, vibrancy, and excitement!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you deal with these symptoms of adrenal fatigue, here's where you can start:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. SLEEP. Aim for 8 hours a night and prioritize sleep over workouts. Without adequate sleep, the adrenals will naturally suffer big time! If you have trouble sleeping, try eating a bedtime snack, eating foods high in magnesium, and blocking out blue light.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. EAT. No, 1,200 calories per day is NOT ENOUGH. Eat more balanced meals, about 3-4 hours apart. And, don't get me started on "low carb" diets. Your body needs carbs for energy, so do your adrenals! Eating now carb is the best way to put your body into a chronic state of stress.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. MOVE. Find a low intensity activity you enjoy (ie. walking, leisurely biking, roller skating) and do it several times a week. If you can get your movement in outside, that's even better. The sun is your best source of Vitamin D! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you suffer from any of these symptoms? What has your experience been with adrenal fatigue? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
http://www.nourishedbykelseynicole.com/
In case you missed it, Texas has been dealing with In case you missed it, Texas has been dealing with record breaking temperatures, snow fall, and power outages. *Photo is from day 1 before we knew just how crazy things were about to get!*
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After almost 24 hours without power and water, our water came back on and we’ve experienced intermittent power. I am SO THANKFUL to have a working stove, running water, and warm home. I know so many other Texans aren’t as lucky.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll be back next week to share about adrenal fatigue, coffee hacks, and more nourishing food swaps. But for now, will you join me in praying for Texas? Specifically for:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• the restoration of power and clean water ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• protection over families and homes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• quick provision over busted pipes and other house issues⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• warm food and drinking water⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❤️❤️❤️❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As someone with a MAJOR sweet tooth, I definitely As someone with a MAJOR sweet tooth, I definitely understand the challenge of sugar cravings! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What about you?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have a feeling most of us are a little too familiar with the challenge of sugar cravings. And if you're not, I don't think I believe you.. 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Luckily, sugar cravings aren't JUST sugar cravings. They're a great indicator that our body needs some specific support! When I started listening to my body and feeding it the nutrients it needed, my sugar cravings practically disappeared. Sure, I still LOVE a delicious sweet treat, but it's no longer an insatiable craving. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you want to gain control over your sugar cravings, too?Here's where you can start:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Eat balanced meals with protein, carbs, and fat.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Focus on eating whole foods, instead of processed and packaged options.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Eat a meal or snack every 3-4 hours.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Drink water with a sprinkle of pink Himalayan salt or sea salt throughout the day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These tips will help regulate your blood sugar, meet your nutrient needs, and provide energy to your mind and body. As a result, you can expect to have LESS SUGAR CRAVINGS! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tag a friend who also has a major sweet tooth! 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Homemade cookies! I mean, is that even a question?!?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And these Copy Cat Hippie Chip Cookies are just what you're looking for. They’re a homemade version of the BEST cookie from my favorite hometown bakery. Since I no longer live there, I had to perfect this homemade version and I'd say it's pretty darn close. These cookies are chewy, chunky, and sweet & salty. The best kind of cookie, if you ask me! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, in case chewy cookies aren't your thing, I have other delicious and nutritious cookies on the blog, like Paleo Chocolate Chips Cookies and Pecan Chocolate Cookie Dough Bites! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Is your liver sluggish? 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀ Is your liver sluggish? 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fact of the matter is most of our livers could use a little extra love, thanks to poor diets, stressful lifestyles, alcohol and OTC drugs, and other environmental toxins.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fundamentally, a healthy liver is NEEDED for detoxing toxins, producing hormones and cholesterol (yes, you need cholesterol), storing and delivering nutrients, and providing glucose for fuel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, yeah. Healthy livers are important! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But how do we know if our liver needs some love? Common indicators include skin issues, frequent headaches, digestive upset from greasy/fatty foods, morning sickness, and pain in the upper right abdomen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Luckily, there are many whole foods that naturally support a healthy liver! To give your liver a little extra love, include these liver superfoods in your diet:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Beets⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Dandelion root⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Bone broth⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Grass-fed liver⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Lemon ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today, do yourself a favor and love on your liver! ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When did “eating healthy” get so complicated?! When did “eating healthy” get so complicated?!?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if we decided to simply EAT REAL FOOD that nourishes and satisfies our bodies?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over the last several years, I've shifted from a low calorie, artificially sweetened diet to eating real, whole foods and let me tell ya...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have energy. My hormones are balanced and my menstrual cycle is regulated. I no longer crave sweets (but, I still love a good-sized chunk of dark chocolate). I feel satisfied and happy for hours after eating. I'm less likely to feel hangry. My sleep has improved, as well as my mood.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Basically, my life has drastically changed. In the best way possible.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While everyone is DIFFERENT (and this is in no way intended to be a meal plan for anyone), it's a great example of what a typical "day of eating" looks like for me. You'll find lots of nourishing, real foods full of quality carbs, fat, protein, and dare I say... sugar?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What YOU need to know about PMS⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Monthly PMS symptoms are common, but they ARE NOT NORMAL! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wish I could scream this from the rooftops because I've seen too many women hopelessly struggle with monthly PMS for years, thinking it's just expected. It's part of "being a woman."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, this couldn't be further from the truth! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The most common PMS symptoms, like headaches, skin breakouts, cramps, cravings, and mood swings, all have a root cause. THEY ARE NOT NORMAL.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some common triggers/causes of monthly PMS symptoms include:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- A high stress lifestyle⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Refined and processed foods⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Thyroid dysfunction⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Nutrient deficiencies⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Blood sugar imbalances⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Excess caffeine consumption⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, if you struggle with PMS symptoms before or during your period, now what? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's time to play detective... Manage the emotional and physical stress in your life, test for nutrient deficiencies, support healthy thyroid and adrenal function, eat balanced meals made with REAL food, limit caffeine and alcohol. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Moral of the story: DON’T SETTLE FOR PMS!
