Simple No-Bake High Fiber and Protein Cookies
It happens to all of us; it’s the middle of the afternoon and your energy level is down. If you truly want to boost your energy while enjoying a sweet and salty snack, don’t reach for that candy bar. Reach for these Homemade No-Bake High Fiber and Protein Cookies instead. Besides the added energy level these cookies bring to your system with the protein, they also provide a good amount of fiber. One of the main ingredients in these no-bake cookies is Fiber One® Cereal which is made of whole grain wheat and just a half cup serving provides your body with 14 grams of fiber. These cookies are simple to assemble and you just need to let them sit up in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before you can gobble them up.
We love the high protein these cookies deliver that comes from protein powder and PB2 powdered peanut butter. PB2 has 85% less fat than traditional peanut butter, and there are only 45 calories in two tablespoons with 4 grams of protein. Try this magical powder once and you will be swapping it into all of your peanut butter recipes. These No-Bake High Fiber and Protein Cookies are the perfect pre and post workout snack.
