Lose Weight By Eating

These protein powder cookies are just 71 calories each, and thanks to the naturally sweet apple sauce, they are low sugar and low carb too!

I used (plant based) Orgain Protein Powder to make these protein cookies, but you could use your favorite protein powder.

Special Tip: Each protein powder scoop is a little different in size, so look at the back for grams per scoop or use 1/2 cup and 1 teaspoon to get to the 69 gram measurement.
