Hi kittens! How are you? It’s been a busy week: I was at a taekwondo seminar (getting ready for my red belt, black tag in December), I’ve seen two friends and then went for my kinetic chain release appointment. I’m also working three Saturdays in a row (one is my fault as I organised an event at the library for my Saturday off!). But at least it’s really autumn and I’ve been enjoying some sunny-but-crispy-cold morning walks to work. And how beautiful are the colours this time of the year? The changing of the leaves from green, to bright yellow, orange and red, it’s so pleasant!

Anyway, I was doing my grocery shopping and found a plant-based protein powder at a very reduced price so I thought it was finally the time to try these Protein Cookies by ChocolateCoveredKatie. The powder I got is vanilla-flavoured so it went well in this recipe. Plus, it’s good to know that I am getting some extra protein, while also enjoying something sweet!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup nut butter of choice
• 1/2 cup protein powder (64g)
• 2 tbsp sweetener of choice
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips, optional

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. Stir all ingredients together to form a cookie dough texture.
3. Break into four pieces, roll into balls, then press into cookie shapes with your hands.
4. If you wish to bake the cookies, bake them on a cookie sheet, lined with parchment if desired, for 8 minutes.
5. Let cool before handling, as they firm up while cooling.

Enjoy!

Love,
