GLUTEN-FREE PROTEIN CHOC CHUNK COOKIES
What's great about it
These spectacular cookies are high in protein, gluten-free, vegan and naturally sweetened. They are made with just a few simple ingredients that include Healthy Chef Organic Pea Protein, almond meal, vanilla, olive oil and a splash of maple, which is totally optional.
Healthy Chef Organic Pea Protein is a plant based, easily digestible protein that promotes lean toned muscle, supports weight management, boosts metabolism and keeps you fuller for longer. Almond meal is rich in healthy fats, fibre, and vitamin E, supporting heart health and providing sustained energy while helping to manage blood sugar levels. I've added a little maple to sweeten and just a little sugar free dark chocolate which makes these taste amazing.

150 g (1 1/2 cups) almond meal
