No-Bake S'mores Protein Cookies

Yup, more protein cookies! I am determined to find the PERFECT recipe....until then, here are some delicious no-bake cookies!

If you like cookie dough, you will absolutely love these protein cookies! They are hearty, chocolaty, and peanut-buttery (is that a word?). I'd say these might even be breakfast-appropriate as well!

Chocolate PB Protein Cookies

It's a cookie kind of day <3 Nothing wrong with that, right?

These cookies are designed to be a post-workout cookie. Carbohydrate to protein ratio is 2:1 which is ideal for recovery and building muscle. Against popular belief, carbs do not make you fat! They are required to fuel the body and they also help you to recover after a workout.

 

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Is there anything better than freshly baked chocolate chip cookies? Dumb question, of course there isn't. Chocolate chip cookies may be good for your soul, but they certainly don't benefit your body in most any other way.

I'm not about to reinvent chocolate chip cookies by any means, but a few ingredient substitutions here and there can certainly improve the nutritional profile!

Vegan Cookie Butter Bars

AND WE'RE BACK!!! (Yes, that is a Wayne's World reference!)

So the past few weeks have been pretty hectic. Between packing, moving, unpacking, and working, I have had little time to make interesting recipes! I have still been cooking, but I haven't been experimenting quite as much as I would like to be. That is, until this past week!

I've been in Oregon over the past week visiting my parents and that always means tons of baking! Between brownies, cinnamon rolls, and cheesecake, there have been plenty of desserts to go around. However, none of these were vegan-friendly! So what delicious vegan treat was made today? Cookie Butter Bars! Not very pretty, but they're pretty delicious! ;)

 

CHALLENGE: Curried Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Challenge accepted! My good friend challenged me to come up with a healthier dessert recipe that involved curry. After thinking up some ideas, I figured you can never go wrong with cookies...especially when chocolate is involved!

Since it's September (almost fall!!!), of course I had to use pumpkin. I am one of those people who gets so excited for the season of "pumpkin-everything." And I must say, the pumpkin paired with the curry spice was perfect!

Raw Peanut Butter Cookies

Raw, vegan, no-added sugar, gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free. No, I'm not talking about water. But rather I'm talking about these amazing peanut butter "cookies"!

They actually taste similar to peanut butter cookies, too. If you have ever had the Peanut Butter Cookie Larabar, these are very similar.
