My favorite protein cookies! These delicious little balls are perfect as a bedtime snack when you are craving something sweet, or as a pre or post workout snack when you are running on empty. Bonus - my kids love these too! Warning -- just because these are "healthy" and a good source of protein, doesn't mean they are a free for all! ;-) Portion yourself off to one, maybe two balls, because these little guys are so good you'll want to eat more!
