Protein Power Cookies

​I am all about nutrient dense foods that are quick and easy and that my kids love! So I was excited to try this new recipe I found from Alive magazine. I gave it a try and they are great. I would also add in chocolate chips and/or a bit of your favourite dried fruit for extra yumminess!

Enjoy!
