These easy to make Paleo Mocha Coconut Macaroons are a deliciously decadent, yet healthy snack or post-workout treat! Made with wholesome ingredients, grain free, dairy free, and refined sugar free.
I couldn’t be happier that Spring has finally shown itself around here, after what seems like MONTHS of dark, cold, and, um, a LACK of motivation to get out and run. I can’t be the only one who’s been dealing with this! A few years ago I would’ve laughed at my “laziness”, but, I’ve since found that sleeping when it’s dark has some appeal. As they say, the struggle (of winter fitness) is REAL!
Plus, there’s just nothing like those first few runs of Spring, when you don’t have to force yourself outside, but rather the weather makes it an actual pleasure to be out there, doing whatever it is you like to do. I’ve had a solid 2 weeks of consistent running and I already feel a boost in my body and mind.
It’s funny that even after just 2 weeks, I’m already noticing a increase in appetite. It’s a good feeling, if you like eating, that is. And does anyone NOT like eating?! Especially if we’re discussing yummy post-workout snacks such as these mocha coconut macaroons.
Cococnut macaroons are always made with egg whites, in fact, one of the reasons I hestiate to make them often is because it makes me sad to waste the yolks! I’m not sure why it never occurred to me to use 100% liquid egg whites as an alternative, but, I tried it out for chocolatey, mocha treats and it worked perfectly. Big score for AllWhites 100% liquid egg whites™!

My favorite omelette is a mixture of spinach, tomatoes, celery and bacon, sometimes zucchini or even green beans thrown in for good measure. Or just a pile of roasted veggies with eggs. And top it off with some salsa and tahini … maybe that’s where I’m just really strange!
My favorite omelette is a mixture of spinach, tomatoes, onions, cheese and bacon. Yummy!!
Hi, Michelle. My favorite omelette takes inspiration from the Spanish tortilla. Potatoes (or sweet potatoes) sautéed in olive oil and smoked paprika, crisp bacon (the double kiss of smoke from the bacon and the paprika makes me swoon), and a handful of arugula for that peppery hit of freshness. If I’ve got them on hand, I might throw in some sautéed mushrooms for some umami love. And most important I never overlook that omelette. Gently set on the outside, a hint of creamy moisture inside and it’s done. I’ve made myself hungry–better go make one now… Thanks!
My favorite omelet is spinach, ham and swiss cheese!
My favorite omelette is the one my husband makes for me. Let me preface this with I hate eggs but somehow he gets me to eat his eggs. Weird I guess! He makes a special omelette with turkey bacon, scallions, tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, roasted red peppers and a little salsa on the side. It is fantastic! Wish I had one now!
Michelle:
What would be the equivalent number of regular egg whites in this recipe if I elect not to use the prepared version? (Not sure I’ll have a use for the rest of the carton!)Thanks.
Don
4 egg whites equals the 3/4 cup 🙂
My favorite omelet ingredients are green and red peppers, cheer, spinach, and uncured bacon. And now I’m craving an omelet, lol. Thanks for the giveaway and that delicious recipe I’m going to need to make ASAP! ?
Well, that was supposed to say cheese, but I guess cheer is a good ingredient too, haha! Hmm, I need some more coffee.
Favorite omelette? I have to choose 1? LOL, Omelets are a favorite go to breakfast, I usually use one whole egg, and then a couple of extra tablespoons of All Whites for extra protein, and well, more omelet! I add whatever veggies I have, but a favorite is spinach, mushrooms and red peppers.
My to go omelete is made up of spinach, bell peppers, chives, bacon, & cheese.Thanks for the giveaway.
I love an egg white omelet with turkey, avocado, spinach and tomato!
