PISTACHIO PROTEIN COOKIES

Delicious PROTEIN pistachio cookies with white chocolate chips that are low carb, gluten free and refined sugar free! It’s the protein version of these healthy pistachio cookies.

I personally can’t live without cookies… So at least is much better to eat cookies that are going to nourish your body! I know white chocolate is not the healthiest option, so feel free to substitute with dark chocolate chips. I personally love the pistachio-white chocolate combo!

These healthy pistachio cookies are deliciously made with almond flour, coconut sugar, pistachios and have some white chocolate chips inside... because pistachio and white chocolate combo is AWESOME!

These healthy cookies are low carb, gluten free, refined sugar free and very easy to make! Besides, they are high in protein content as well!

As you will see throughout all my healthy recipes, I either use grass-fed butter or coconut oil and it will always depend on wanting the butter flavour or not…

DIABETIC DIET TIP

Even though these healthy cookies have some white chocolate chips, since they are also made with good fats from almonds, pistachios and grass-fed butter, you won’t experience the sugar spike you would have when eating any regular refined cookies made with refined sugars and wheat!

Pistachios contain healthy fats and are a good source of protein, fiber and antioxidants!

I hope to share more about particular brands and what to look for on labels, to show how the food industry can actually fool you!

INGREDIENTS

1 cup or 95gr of almond flour
2 scoops or 60gr of protein powder (preferably vanilla flavor)
