Our recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Cookies is the perfect sweet snack! Each cookie packs in 7g protein and the smaller size means a more manageable serving with less calories than store bought.
Adding in protein powder to my baked good recipes is one of my favorite ways to use protein powder besides the traditional shake. Protein powder does not lose it’s potency when used in baked goods, in fact, our bodies will absorb the same amino acids as if we had used the protein powder in shake form.
