Double Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies

If this is your first visit to my recipes, welcome! If you are a returner, thank you!

I am a true believer that the world of food should be open to a person and moderation in all things is a great way to live life, that’s why I specialize in creating macro-friendly recipes that are much easier to “fit” in moderation.

As you get to know me, you will find that all my recipes use a moderate to few amount of ingredients because I also believe that cooking should be stress free and not break the budget.

Sweets are my specialty, I’m sorry but, I love dreaming up sweet recipes! Especially chocolate, I’m not ashamed to say I’m a chocoholic over here! For my patients I try to teach moderation and no foods are “off limits”, so I encourage finding bariatric sweet recipes for their special occasions! (I know no one is going to tell me I’m not having my treat on my birthday and I don’t expect you to go without either!)

If there are any recipes you’d like me to make “macro friendly” please message me on my Instagram (@boho_nutrition), I’d be more than happy to come up with one!

In this recipe you will find chocolate…all of it. That’s how I'd describe my double chocolate chip cookies! Not too rich that you can’t stand them but rich enough that every chocolate receptor in your body (is that even a real thing?) sings with joy and just sweet enough to satisfy all of your cravings! When I made this recipe and quantified the macros I seriously couldn’t believe it! There are only 30 calories in one of these bad boys! You could seriously eat 5 of these for as many calories as you would take to consume one “regular” cookie! Check them out, I swear you wont regret it!

I would also love to hear your personal spin on any of my recipes! Have fun and please enjoy!

This recipe is suitable for bariatric patients, lacto-ovo vegetarians, body builders, anyone who is practicing moderation or just someone looking for a delicious chocolate fix!

Evenly distribute chips between the cookies (I always press chips into the cookies to keep the nutrition facts consistent, ~4 chips per cookie)
