Satisfy your sweet tooth...

If you are anything like me, you most likely constantly have a sweet tooth. However, eating cookies and ice cream every day probably isn’t the best step towards a healthy life. I tried this protein cookie recipe from www.getfitnowpt.com the other night so I could satisfy my sweet tooth and it was actually really good (if you like bananas)! My friend Kinsi even tried them :)

Ingredients-
– 1/4 cup of Flax seeds
– 2 tsp of Chia seeds
– 1 Banana
– 2 tbsp Dark chocolate chips
– 1 scoop of PB2
– 2 scoops of Protein powder (vanilla)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. In a large mixing bowl add 2 scoops of the protein powder (you can use vegan protein powder to make these cookies vegan) and 1 scoop of PB2.  If you don’t have PB2 available, you can use all natural peanut butter.
3. Mash the banana, PB2 and protein powder until creamy.
4. Then mix in the ground flax seeds, chia seeds and dark chocolate chips.
5. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray and drop about 1 1/2 tbsp sized drops onto the baking pan. The cookies will not rise, so spread them out into a circular shape.
6. Bake 7-9 minutes, or until cookies are firm and the edges are golden brown.


Hope you enjoy these yummy and protein packed treats… comment below what you thought of them!
