These cookies are sweet, with a soft texture, but they are packed with Detox Organics Daily Protein that will help keep your hunger in check between meals.
These cookies aren’t just tasty; they’re practical as well.
Sometimes we just want to reach for something sweet, but the last thing we want is a treat full of sugar. And when we are hungry, sugar is the last thing we want to be reaching for. When you snack on traditional cookies, you are working against your goals, and they do little in keeping your hunger at bay. Too much sugar and bad ingredients can promote inflammation in the body, give you a sugar crash later, and make you gain weight.
Because these cookies are made with protein, they make the perfect snack to munch on when you are feeling hungry. You’ll find that they will keep you full longer, which is great if you are trying to slim down and lose weight.
Yes, these cookies may actually HELP you lose weight! It doesn’t get much better than that.

Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, maple syrup or honey, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Add the almond flour, oats, Daily Protein, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Use a rubber spatula to mix everything together until thoroughly combined.
Use a tablespoon to scoop the batter onto the baking sheet. Roll into balls and flatten with your fingertips (it helps to wet your hands with water to prevent sticking).
