Healthy Vegan Protein Cookie Recipes You Need to Try

I know a lot of people who struggled to give up baked goods like cookies when they switched to a plant-based diet. I suggest looking up vegan cookie recipes to make their own when they couldn’t find what they wanted in a grocery store.

Vegan protein cookies break the mold by being both delicious and nutritious.

I am going to share a few of my favorite vegan protein cookies recipes, and I’ll also share some advice on how to make your own vegan cookies.

Eating vegan should never be an ‘all or nothing’ effort. Don’t worry about labeling your diet or long-term commitments. Instead, just have fun with vegan cooking when it’s available to you.
