After a tough workout when I’m all sweaty and feelin’ the burn, my muscles scream “FEED ME!” But sweet tooth is also shouting ” FEED ME!” It’s like an internal battle in my mind, and the sweet tooth usually wins.
I know I should usually reach for something high in protein, but when there are freshly baked cookies, I can’t say no. Ya feel me? Thought so.
But what if I could eat something that is high in protein and satisfies my sweet tooth? Yes please. And no, I’m not talking about those chewy protein bars that taste like fake chocolate, those are torture to the mouth.
I’m talking about these protein cookies that melt in your mouth, duh. Thanks to Bob’s Red Mill for providing me with their new amazing protein powders that are super duper tasty.
They are plant based protein mixed with chia and probiotics to feed your muscles with all the goodness they are longing for.
Here is a closer look at the benefits of Bob’s Red Mill Protein Powder:
- 20 grams plant-based protein per serving
- 11 grams of fiber per serving
- Good source of ALA omega-3 (15% DV)
- Excellent source of iron (35% DV)
- Beneficial probiotics from chicory root
- Vegan

For this recipe I used the Chai flavored, but there is also chocolate and vanilla that could be easily substituted. These cookies literally take less than 20 minutes to make, are gluten-free and vegan, only have six ingredients, and taste like dessert.
What could be better after pushing your body to it’s limits? It’s like the light at the end of the tunnel.
