🍲 Ingredients

Protein Powder – Vegava is a new brand of protein that I just recently discovered and is the protein I used in this recipe. What I love about this protein is that it is 100% vegan and all-natural. The protein is made with a combination of pea protein isolate, brown rice protein isolate and hemp protein isolate. All of these natural ingredients provide muscle-building protein, along with amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. If you’re vegan, you probably know how valuable a quality protein powder can be when adding to recipes like this as when you are eating a vegan diet or any diet, you know how important it is to ensure you are getting the right amount of protein. That’s why I love adding protein into baking, or my recipes when I can to get that extra boost. Vanilla – When baking, it’s very important to use a good quality vanilla. There are lots of vanillas that are artificial and don’t pack the same delicious flavor as an all-natural vanilla. When shopping, look at the ingredient list of your vanilla before buying. You also will want to look at what they call the vanilla on the label. “Vanilla Flavoring” or “Artificial Vanilla” aren’t usually 100% pure vanilla.

🪄 Tips and Tricks

Your cookies will seem uncooked at 9 minutes but trust me you want to remove them now so they remain gooey and soft in the center. Make a big batch of these and freeze half of them to easily have a protein-packed snack to pull out of your freezer.

🗒 Variations

Protein Powder: You can use vanilla protein powder instead of chocolate Mix-Ins: Swap out the chocolate chips for other baking chips like toffee or butterscotch. You can also mix in nuts if you prefer
