Healthy Cookie Dough Slice

Cravings do not really ask for permission. They just show up, usually when you are busiest, slightly tired, or standing in front of the pantry hoping something magically counts as both dessert and nutrition.

This chickpea chocolate cookie dough slice from @alexandrahainess sits in that sweet spot where convenience meets satisfaction. It is rich, fudgy, and naturally sweet, with a texture that feels far more indulgent than the ingredient list would suggest. Chickpeas form the base, creating a surprisingly smooth structure once blended, while oat flour keeps everything grounded and sliceable. Peanut butter adds depth and comfort, honey brings natural sweetness, and dark chocolate chips make sure every bite feels like a small win. Finished with melted chocolate on top, it is the kind of recipe that disappears from the fridge faster than you planned.

Where it shifts from simply delicious to genuinely functional is in the addition of Nu Harvest Vanilla Thrive Plant Protein. This is an organic pea and rice protein blend that blends easily into recipes without overpowering flavour or texture. Protein is an essential macronutrient the body uses daily, supporting muscle growth, muscle tissue repair, and the production of enzymes and hormones that keep internal systems running smoothly.

It is not just for training focused lifestyles. It suits anyone who wants more balance in their day to day eating. People on the go, plant based eaters who avoid whey, anyone navigating gluten sensitivities, or simply those who want a snack that actually keeps them satisfied for longer than five minutes.

The best part is how seamlessly it fits into real life. Blend, stir, press, chill. That is it. No complicated steps, no hard-to-find ingredients, just something you can keep in the fridge and reach for when you want something that feels like a treat but works a little harder behind the scenes.

HERE'S WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• 1 can of chickpeas (washed)
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 1 cup oat flour (more if mixture is too runny)
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 3/4 cup of dark chocolate chips + extra for melted on top
• 30g Nu Harvest Vanilla Thrive Plant Protein

HERE'S HOW TO MAKE IT

1. Blend everything together except for the chocolate chips.
2. Once the ingredients form a batter texture mix in your chocolate chips
3. Push down into a slice tray and melt the dark chocolate on top.
4. Pop into the freezer or fridge to set (minimum 45 minutes) then enjoy 

The end result is a snack that feels simple, familiar, and just a little bit clever in the background. Keep a batch in the fridge and you will have something ready for those moments when you want ease, flavour, and a bit of balance all in one bite.
