These taste like a combination of Cookie Dough and Peanut Butter Cookies. YUM!

Lets talk about how to cook with protein powder! The key to using protein in your recipes is picking a protein that is 1) high quality and 2) that you enjoy the taste of. No matter what anyone says, if you don’t like the taste of the protein in a shake, you probably won’t like it in a recipe. Not all protein is created the same either, some are more chalky, some have less flavor etc. In order for these to taste the best, choose the protein you enjoy the most.
