A chocolate sandwich cookie stuffed with a easy 2 components protein filling . These protein chocolate sandwich cookies are an awesome deal with for once you’re craving one thing candy, however desire a more healthy choice.
I really like making more healthy treats. I do consider you’ll be able to deal with your self, however nonetheless nourish your physique on the identical. In the event you’re going to eat one thing tasty, why not make it good for you too?
I’m an enormous advocate of utilizing protein powders. They’re such a straightforward and enjoyable approach so as to add further protein into your food regimen. Many people have busy existence that make meal planning a bit tough. Some days I don’t have time to plan and store for components to make a wholesome balanced meal. It may be much more tough when you’re vegan or your food regimen is especially plant-based like mine is. It takes much more planning and prep to ensure I’m getting in every part I want, and protein is one in every of them.
You may merely add a scoop of protein powder to your morning smoothie or porridge bowl, or simply take pleasure in it as a shake on the facet of a meal. You may also use it in recipes, candy or savoury, though I favor utilizing flavoured proteins to make candy treats and snacks.
The very best vegan protein powder I’ve tried to this point (and I’ve tried rather a lot!) is Bulk’s new Vegan Gourmand Protein powder. They arrive in 3 flavours – strawberry, chocolate and caramel. I really like including the strawberry powder to a bowl of coconut yoghurt with some blueberries and a handful of seeds/nuts. It’s the proper mid-morning snack, balanced with protein, wholesome fat, carbs and antioxidants.
The chocolate and caramel protein powders are nice to make use of in recipes, particularly no-bake recipes like these sandwich cookies. I merely blended a few of the powder with dairy-free yoghurt to make a easy and creamy filling!
