Okay, so the coolest thing ever happened to me.
Aaaaaaand I’m not even talking about the cookie dough. I know, right? We’ll get to these babies in a minute.
So about that coolest thing ever. Thanks so the incredible folks ever at Fitfluential, I got to take a field trip to visit the Lorna Jane store in Santa Monica.
Walking into the store is like being transported into a paradise where you can be all fit and workout in clothes that make you look like a human being, and not an oompa loompa. That’s important.
My tour guide through this wonderful new world was a wonderful fellow Fitfluential ambassador named Nienessa. She held my hand and led me around as I followed, wide-eyed and giddy, like a kid in a candy store. Except this candy store makes your skinny jeans looser, and not tighter.
Naturally, I had to try on one of everything. Of course. Here’s outfit #1:
Outfit Numero Dos (I’m working on my Spanish. Impressive, no?)
And this is the outfit I went with!
I’ve always thought turquoise is a lucky color for me because I’m a December baby, so it’s my birthstone. Isn’t the back beauteous?
I just can’t get over these pants! Can you? No, of course you can’t. These pants are just so amazing I can hardly stand it.
I know this is all fine and dandy, but let’s get down to the real stuff. How do the clothes really perform?
Folks, these. clothes. perform. 10/10. A++. I tested them out initially while doing the 100 workout and I actually jumped up and down more after the workout was over because I was just so darn happy.
You know how you sometime, er, jiggle, when you workout? No jiggliness AT ALL with this gear. None. Zippo. It was awesome.
Bottom line? Lorna Jane is my new favorite workout gear, and it really should be yours too. Want to know more about your new favorite company? Great! Their motto is MOVE NOURISH BELIEVE (which I love.)
They are an Australian company, but thank goodness they now have store locations in Malibu, Marina del Rey, Santa Monica Place, Westlake Village, Topanga and Huntington Beach opening Sept. 8. You can find them on Facebook and Twitter, with super fancy hashtags #movenourishbelieve and #nowmoveit.
Oh, and I made cookie dough. It takes like Biscoff cookie butter. You need to make it. And then eat it in some Lorna Jane swag instead of working out.
But you didn’t hear that from me.
Cookie Butter Cookie Dough
Cookie dough that tastes like Biscoff cookie butter? Whaaa?
Adapted from my Nutella Cookie Dough Bites and Low Calorie Instant Homemade Cookie Butter
Makes about 12 bites
Nutritional Info
Serving size: 1 cookie dough bite (1/12 of recipe)
Calories: ~8
Fat: ~0.5 grams
Ingredients
1 Tablespoon almond meal
3 Tablespoon almond milk
2 Tablespoons coconut flour
1/2 teaspoon molasses
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ginger
pinch nutmeg, allspice, cloves (optional, use what you have!)
sweetener to taste (I use 1-2 packets stevia.)
Directions
Stir together almond meal, 2 Tablespoons of almond milk, molasses, and spices. Add in coconut flour and stir until thoroughly combined. Stir in remaining 1 Tablespoon of almond milk (if needed) and sweeten the mixture to taste. Roll into balls, freeze, and eat! You can also just eat the whole batch right now because, for only 96 calories, you really can’t go wrong.
At this rate, you’ll never wear Target workout gear or eat that *other* cookie butter again.
Enjoy!

thank you SO much for the giveaway! i’m a huge almond milk fan, so i’m very excited to try a new kind of nondairy milk. the lorna jane attire is super cute btw
Congragulations on your big win, my dear! I am a total almond milk junkie, and I happen to love the sunflower seed milk. I’ll send your info along to the company ASAP!
What if I dont have molasses?
I don’t see why you coudn’t leave it out! It’s just there for flavor.
I’ve never heard of lorna jane but it looks like they have some fabulous workout clothes! I love those pants!
I just made these! So yummy
Thanks for the recipe! p.s. I love the outfit you chose! It looks great on you!!!
The clothes are TOO cute!!! And those cookie dough balls? YUM!
Yay! Thank you so much for making the the smile of the day! =)
Well of course! You made me smile!
Congrats on the new gear! Loves it.
Those look dangerously good! I can see myself just popping them like they are nothing!
Haha. Thank you! I guess we’re two peas in a pod.
That’s so cool! Lucky girl
Yay for the Aussie companies- lorna jane does make some bangin clothes 
I love how it all holds you in!
You must be the Lorna Jane expert! And yes, their swag perfoms well in the “holding in” department.
Those are cute pants! Congrats on finding the new gear:) I am so overdue for new workout and dance clothes…
Those pants really DO look lovely! Definitely a great perk… (totally jealous, haha). =)
Why thank you, my dear! Don’t worry, I’ll share.
P.S. Hey Julie, are you going to Foodbuzz this year? I’d love to see you there again!
Actually, I will be in New York that weekend, probably doing a lot of eating, too. I’m bummed I can’t make it to Foodbuzz, but they seem to have moved the date earlier.
On the other hand, we don’t live THAT far away, so at some point we should just hang out someplace. =)
Awesome new outfit and great recipe. I can’t wait to try it. Do you think I could sub honey for the molasses?
Thank you so much, Shannon! The purpose of molasses in this recipe is to mimic the flavor of brown sugar, but I don’t think the final product will suffer much at all if you simply left it out (although I haven’t tried it myself). Hope this helps!
Oh goodness gracious~why oh why do I know now about Lorna Jane?! I go to santa monica so often, and in fact, I was there last night! I’m just afraid that if I go there I’ll never come out for wandering around oohh-ing and aah-ing at everything
And yes, you chose some gorgeous items Kelly!
Yummy, cookie butter is just awesome and this recipe sounds great! Love that!
The recipe didn’t work for me it was too liquidy
would it be because I made my own coconut and almond flour?
Hi Adelaide, and thank you for making this recipe! Yes, I think the homemade coconut flour is the culprit. Making homemade coconut flour (from what I hear) is a very long, involved process that involves grinding, dehydrating… and even then the results may not work. I recommend using store-bought coconut flour, but I think homemade almond flour is great. Hope this helps!
