Protein Veggie Cookies

Biscuits protéinés aux légumes Protein Veggie Cookies ÉquipeNutrition Teamnutrition

I love meal prepping breakfasts that I can freeze: pancakes, waffles, muffins, breads... all pretty sweet recipes! To switch things up, I wanted to create something savoury but just as easy to make as the others. It was a success: these cookies are DELICIOUS! They help me add variety to my breakfasts, keep me full for a long time with 22 g of protein and 4 g of fibre per serving... AND help me get in more veggies for the day!

Enjoy!
