Cookies Packed with Protein

If you are someone who is looking to add extra protein into your diet, look no further. These protein cookies are the perfect snack, dessert, or breakfast. I love how they are no-bake and take only 5 minutes to make. The longest part is waiting for the chocolate to harden.

When picking a protein powder, I always try to use one with simple ingredients. If you are someone who finds that when consuming protein powder it makes you feel sick, try finding one with simpler ingredients. It’s really important to check the ingredients list of protein powder as so many brands add tons of unhealthy ingredients that can also affect your gut health.

There are countless different combinations you can make with the base of this recipe. Some of my favorites include:

Cinnamon sugar: use all the same ingredients except the sprinkles. Add in ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and coat them in a cinnamon sugar mixture.

Macadamia white chocolate: use all the same ingredients except the sprinkles. Fold in chopped macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips.

Double chocolate cookie dough: switch the vanilla protein for chocolate protein powder. Replace the sprinkles with chocolate chips.

PB&J: use peanut butter instead of almond butter. Replace the sprinkles with blueberries or fruit of choice.

Almond butter: any nut or seed butter will work (cashew, sunflower, peanut, etc.) Make sure whichever you choose to use is creamy and not super thick.

Sugar: you can use any sugar of your choice. Make sure to use GRANLUATED sugar (brown, white, etc.) Liquid sweetener will NOT work.

Protein powder: any protein powder will work. I used a plant-based vanilla one and would recommend using vanilla.

Sprinkles: any sprinkles will work. If you don’t want the sprinkles, you can also omit them and add something else or leave as is.

Chocolate: any chocolate will work. You can use chocolate chips or chop a chocolate bar. You can also use white chocolate.
