1/4 cup liquid egg whites

Preheat oven to 350. Mix chocolate protein powder, baking powder, and rice flour together. In a blender mix egg, banana, 1/3 cup egg whites, and water. Pour into dry ingredients, mix well, and pour into a greased pan. In a separate bowl mix the vanilla protein powder and 1/4 cup egg whites. Spoon or pour along in horizontal lines and drag a butter knife through the lines vertically to create a swirled appearance. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Note: to make it even better you can add 1/2-2/3 cup semi sweet chocolate chips.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Cookie

1st-step-prowellness-chocolate-peanut-butter-protein-cookie

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

1/2 cup raw brown sugar

2 scoops 1st step chocolate whey protein

preheat your oven 350*

Mix all the ingredients together. It helps to soften the peanut butter a little. Take about 1 tablespoon of the dough and roll into a ball, then flatten on the greased cookie sheet. I used a fork to add the crisscross design of traditional peanut butter cookies. Bake for about 10 minutes and let cool! This batch made 19 cookies and each cookie is 113 calories and 5grams of protein. 

Enjoy!
