Notes
- The protein powder you choose will affect the texture of the cookies (see notes in the blog post)
- You can substitute any dried fruit for cranberries. Chocolate chips are a fun addition too. Likewise, peanut butter works in place of almond.
- Each protein powder has a slightly different protein count (in grams) and thus, the protein markup in the nutritional profile might be off by 1-2 grams
- The video of the vegan protein cookies is slightly different than the revised recipe, the batter is not as liquid.
