Power Protein Cookies
What's great about it
Made from completely natural ingredients and free from the processed sugars and preservatives found in many store bought protein cookies, these cookies are a complete healthy meal in a purely delicious cookie. As the perfect post-recovery meal, it can help assist with protein synthesis. Bananas and dates are a terrific energy food and a great source of potassium, an essential mineral for maintaining normal blood pressure and heart function. They add moisture and sweetness to baked goods, which means you don’t need to add any refined sugar. Apples are naturally rich in bioflavonoids which have been found to support immunity and general health. Olive oil is an anti-inflammatory heart healthy fat that works beautifully to bind this cookie together.
