HEALTHY ALMOND & COCONUT PROTEIN COOKIES
Hello Food Lovers!
Today I’m sharing these healthy almond and coconut high protein cookies that turned out really yummy!!
They’re gluten-free, refined sugar free and dairy free! They can also be vegan if you substitute the egg for a flax egg or equivalent.
These healthy protein cookies are very easy to bake and require only a few ingredients. The healthy ingredients you will need can be easily found at any grocery store or maybe you already have them at home! Anyhow, if you ever have problems finding any of these healthy ingredients from this healthy and high protein recipe, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
I also like that this healthy high protein recipe requires less quantity of each ingredient (so it is a money saving recipe). I actually made them quickly yesterday afternoon, and I made 6 cookies.
Just a single cookie makes you feel so full! I love that as well!
Each cookie (from 6 cookies) has the following nutritional facts:
8.1gr protein · 7.3gr carbs · 3.8gr fiber · 6.5gr sugars · 13.1 fats
DIABETIC DIET TIP
I love the macronutrients of these healthy high protein cookies, they are very nutritious! They have the enough content of carbohydrates, healthy fats and protein to make this healthy recipe a must-try! Besides, they’re high in fiber and also contain vitamins and antioxidants!
One or two of these healthy high protein cookies are the perfect mid-morning or afternoon snack that will nourish you and keep you on track with your healthy eating habits! And surely it won’t spike your sugar levels as long as you have stable levels (around 80-120mg/dL) before consuming these healthy high protein cookies.
Also, if you can combine these healthy high protein cookies with a yogurt, the combo is truly amazing! Plus, the healthy fats on yogurt will also help slow digestion and won’t create a sugar spike!
Let us know if you try to make these healthy cookies! We would love to hear from you!
