Protein Cookies

Did you ever think I would send you a recipe for cookies?! While it may seem crazy that your favorite fitness professional is sending you a cookie recipe, just wait until you see the ingredients! Let’s just say that there’s zero guilt in enjoying one of these wholesome chocolate chip cookies — preferably while it’s still warm out of the oven.
The chocolate chips that I’ve used in the recipe below are sweetened with stevia — which is a natural, zero-calorie sweetener and can be found at your local health food market. By using these stevia-sweetened chocolate chips we are able to remove all of the refined sugar from the cookies, giving you a sweet morsel to enjoy while staying on track with your fitness goals. And with only 5 ingredients these delicious cookies are super easy to make. Enjoy!
