I know you’ve anxiously been waiting for this post! Honestly, I’ve been hitting it at the gym a lot lately. I plan on starting a recipe series for gym-goers, featuring lower fat, lower sugar, and higher protein.
First up,

These little cookies make an excellent post-workout snack, paired with 1/2 banana they make the perfect breakfast. They’re packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals to help repair your muscles.

3 T Flax Meal
