Frozen Chocolate Protein Cookies


Fridge and pantry clean-outs always have me creating new recipes and combinations, and these little ‘cookies’ are no exception!

They’re really high in protein and fiber, and you can sprinkle any garnish on top that you like… powdered sugar, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, etc. Or you don’t have to add anything if that’s your style!

The collagen peptides are completely optional as well. Adding them won’t change the taste or texture of the cookies, but it will add some extra protein. Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, and taking it is great for hair, skin, nails, joints, and even your gut. I use THESE ones!

  • Dash of maple syrup

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Mix all of the ingredients together in a small mixing bowl. Add 2 TB of coconut flour to start, and gradually add in up to another TB until the batter consistency is only slightly sticky.
