Chocolate Protein Cookies
Gluten free, refined sugar-free, low-glycemic, heart-healthy, high protein, Paleo
This is my high protein version of a chocolate chip cookie that is quick and easy. I combined almond butter and protein powder making them chockfull of protein. Then I used strong, hot coffee to give them a high-energy hit. Together with the low-glycemic carbs from chocolate and coconut sugar these cookies provide me long-lasting fuel for tough workouts. Pack these for your outings as a healthy treat that tastes delicious.
