    Healthy Cookie Dough Blizzard. This healthy cookie dough dairy queen blizzard copycat recipe is so delicious! It is made with healthy ingredients like chickpea cookie dough and frozen bananas.

    My Healthy Cookie Dough Blizzard recipe is:

    • Cool & Creamy
    • Naturally sweetened
    • Gut healthy
    • High in fiber
    • Gluten free
    • Dairy free
    • Vegan

    What reminds you of summer more than stopping off to get one of those huge sweet milkshakes or blizzards?? Cooling off with a sweet and frosty treat tastes soo good in the moment. But then, an hour later.. not so good. I don't know about you, but right after I eat one of those.. no matter how delicious it was.. I get the worst stomach ache. My stomach does not process sugar and dairy very well. So, I created a healthy cookie dough blizzard!

    If you love ice cream and want a healthy treat, try my Thick Smoothie Bowl Recipe! It tastes like ice cream and is totally healthy for you.

    HOW MANY CALORIES IN A COOKIE DOUGH BLIZZARD?

    A large size cookie dough blizzard is 1340 calories.

    A note on counting calories.. A lot of people look at the calories in a banana, or chickpeas, and think oh my gosh that is a LOT! And while yes Β½ cup of chickpeas does contain ~350 calories, that is not the end all be all. Chickpeas are LOADED with other beneficial nutrients, including fiber. When food has a high amount of fiber, it takes more energy for your body to break down. Meaning, you are actually burning calories to digest high fiber foods and not actually ingesting 350 calories.

    This same concept goes with "fruit sugar." Fruit is not sugar. The "fruit sugar" that is in fruit is bound to fiber. Fiber helps to slow digestion and lower that blood glucose spike. However, if you do have diabetes, or struggle with blood sugar control, of course you have to be more mindful to include healthy fats & protein with your meals.

    TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST HEALTHY COOKIE DOUGH BLIZZARD

    MAKE THE CHICKPEA COOKIE DOUGH THE NIGHT BEFORE. Roll the chickpea cookie dough into small balls and freeze on parchment paper overnight.

    USE SUPER RIPE FROZEN BANANAS. Ripe bananas will have the sweetest flavor.

    USE COLLAGEN OR PROTEIN POWDER. Using protein will help to lower the blood glucose spike.

    ADD PEANUT BUTTER OR CASHEW BUTTER. This will add lots of healthy fats and lower the blood glucose spike along with the protein.

    What's in the healthy cookie dough blizzard?

    • Bananas are an excellent source of fiber and potassium. They make the base of this creamy delight.
    • Collagen powder has so many benefits like gut health, joint health, and hair health.
    • Peanut Butter is a good source of protein and some fats!
    • Sea Salt is way better than processed salt because it is not bleached.. who wants bleached salt in their body yuckk.
    • Chickpea Cookie dough.. just wait till you read what is in this recipe! It is soo good!

    Before you start, make sure you make the chickpea cookie dough ahead for this one!
