Here is how I go about making sure that I never have to go with out adequate protein snacks and eat bulk manufactured, hi sugar and preservative loaded 'health' food. This is my recipe for home made protein power cookies.

You can get all the ingredients from your local health food store and the beauty is you can keep these bad boys for as long as possible in the fridge or freezer.

In a food processor, blend:

2 scoops Unflavoured Whey Protein Isolate powder (This is suitable for Lactose intolerant as over 95% of the milk sugar has been removed, an alternative here is to use Pea or Rice protein if you are a Vegan)

1 cup almonds (raw, unsalted, natural)

1 tbsp. cocoa powder

1 tbsp. Stevia Natural Sweetener

2 tbsp. Nut Butter-natural (with oil, not dry)

2 tbsp. water

Chop until all is small and uniform, and it develops into a dough vs. a powdery
meal. If it's dry, add more nut butter (the oil particularly), or water 1/2 a
tbsp. at a time till desired consistency.

Dump cookie "dough" onto a piece of wax paper, make a tight log, and wrap
tightly, both sides first, then roll tightly and put in the freezer. When very well
chilled (about 1 hour), take out and slice into 2cm slices.

Store these in the refrigerator in a single layer in a well-sealed ziplock baggie. Or, keep these
in the freezer, and take them out one at a time. They won't be hard and frozen,
they stay soft because of the oil in the nut butter, and the oils in the nuts.

Makes 12

Variations Can include the following:

• Add some chopped, dried fruit for extra carbs
• Add Goji or Acai berries to boost the anti oxident levels
• Add Sultanas then roll them in to balls and coat them in coconut (an very healthy twist on rum balls)
• Instead of water use coffee to give them a little pick me up

Let me know if you come up with any variations that work well, post them on our Facebook page or comment below
