CHOCOLATE CHIP PROTEIN COOKIES
(High Protein / Gluten-Free / Low Carb)

There’s something about a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie that just feels like home — and now, it can feel healthy too.

These soft-baked Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies pack all the flavor you crave with a boost of clean protein from MariGold Creamy Vanilla Whey Isolate.

They’re buttery, rich, and slightly chewy with pockets of melted chocolate, yet low in carbs and made with almond flour for a gluten-free upgrade.

The best part?

The dough freezes beautifully, so you can bake a few fresh cookies anytime that sweet craving strikes.

Recipe from @lifewith.deedee

I love all things apple flavored for fall so I knew I had to make some apple pie protein yogurts. These are perfect for meal prep too! Here’s how I made this

1 c greek yogurt
1 tbsp sf cheesecake pudding mix
1 scoop vanilla protein powder @marigoldfoodstx
Mix together until smooth and refrigerate
When ready to serve add 1/3 c sf apple pie filling. You can top with apple pie spice, whipped cream & caramel, sometimes I add graham cracker crumbs or granola too

You don`t have to struggle to hit those protein goals anymore...

Recipe from @Curtis|Healthy Recipe Creator

Make these few swaps and you`ll be closer to hitting those goals:
•Adding protein powder into your cake/brownie mix (I`m using my favorite @marigoldfoodstx in the rich chocolate malt flavor)
•Swap non-fat plain greek yogurt instead of using oil (healthy fats and a bit more protein)

Simple swaps like these can take your box cake/brownie mix to the next level.

That`s what I did for these brownies I made and the chocolate protein powder made the chocolate flavor of the brownies pop even more.
