15 Aug Healthy Protein Cookie Recipe
Who doesn’t love cookies? While they may be one of the yummiest foods on the planet, unfortunately, they’re a lot more calorie dense than people realize. Plus, who can only eat one cookie? After a few you can easily get 500-1000+ calories and negate the benefits of a couple workouts.
A few months ago, my wife Savanna was determined to find some healthy cookies.
After several batches, she’s refined her recipe to be the most delicious high protein, low calorie cookies that I’ve ever had.
