How This Nourishes Your Body
5 Ingredient Protein Coconut Cookies
These coconut cookies have become one of my weekly staples. I love the texture, and the fact they are filled with healing fat and protein instead of flour and sugar which spikes your blood sugar -> spikes your cortisol -> causes weight gain and a bad mood.
I love to add -> home made coconut milk whipped cream, but they are also amazing plain!
These cookies are filled with healing fat and protein for a guilt-free dessert that does not cause inflammation in your body. I love to have them on hand for a snack or a side to my breakfast and lunch.
Notes for Coconut Cookies
- You can use 2 cups coconut shreds if you do not have/want sunflower seeds.
- You can use any other kind of nut or seed
- I used this pure whey protein
powder- but you can use any flavor you would like/have. This vanilla plant protein is also great. (does whey protein cause inflammation?) - My absolute favorite protein powder these days is bone broth protein. This allows me to get my bone broth in for the day while eating a delicious cookie! You can use the pure, vanilla, or chocolate flavor for this recipe.
- These also go great with my favorite coconut milk latte recipe
powder- but you can use any flavor you would like/have. This

These sound yummy! I’m on the SCD diet and the protein powder would not be allowed. Any way to get around this?

Hi Teri! So sorry for the late reply, it got hidden some how. You could try collagen powder or casava flour! You could also just use 1/2 more of ground sunflowerseeds or other nut:) Thanks for reaching out!

You said that flour and sugar will spike your blood sugar -> spikes your cortisol -> causes weight gain and a bad mood.

I think you meant to say that ..spike your blood sugar -> spikes your insulin -> NOT CORTISOL. Although if you have high cortisol it is harder to lose weight. -
I am no baker, but these turned out so yummy! How do I keep them from falling apart? Even after baking they aren’t holding together.

Hi Julie! I would experiment with different protein powders as different ones will create different textures. I hope this helps!! 🙂

What is the fiber contents for these

Ya, I’m having a problem with the crumbly thing too. Seems to me it would be better if an almond or coconut flour were to be incorporated. If I make these again I’ll go that route.

These are delicious. That is all I have to say. I have been watching my blood sugar, and being able to feel good about these treats is wonderful. Highly recommend this recipe!
