Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Protein Cookies

This is a sponsored recipe for Visalus Body By Vi. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I received Vi Shape shake mix from Visalus to sample and knew it would be perfect to make some Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Protein Cookies for a treat for the kids..

I love that these are packed with protein, what a perfect afternoon snack after school to tide everyone over until dinner.

Who doesn't like peanut butter and chocolate with oatmeal and protein mix add for nutrition.

The kids had no clue of the added health benefits in their cookies.

These are simple and easy to make and hit the spot for a perfect afternoon or evening snack.

Truth be told I even had 2 for breakfast.

Deliciousness.

This is the Vi Shape in Sweet Cream Flavor. It's amazing in smoothies also.

Melt unsweetened chocolate, cocoa powder and coconut oil over low heat stirring constantly until chocolate melts.

Mmmm.. Melted chocolate.

Combine peanut butter, brown sugar, egg,  quick oats, vanilla extract, baking soda, sea salt, melted chocolate and 4 leveled scoops Vi Shape Protein Mix In Sweet Cream. Mix on medium speed until fully combined scraping sides of bowl as needed.

Use a standard sized cookie scoop or rounded tablespoon and drop dough onto ungreased cookie sheet.

Use a fork to form a cross hatch pattern on the top of each cookie and bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.

Enjoy!
