What kind of protein powder should you use for these healthy protein fitness cookies
Getting the right flavour in this cookie has a lot to do with the type of protein powder you use. As a general rule it should be a vanilla protein powder that contains a high amount of protein and as few other additives as possible. In theory all protein powders can work in this recipe…but not all protein powders will give you a delicious cookie taste. I recommend using your regular preferred protein powder where you already know that you like the taste.
