Back to school “No Bake Protein Cookies”

It’s that time of year where food prep is key in our household in order to continue to have good nutrition. We try to keep our Sunday afternoons fairly quiet to make this actually happen. The kids always jump in to help me with this daunting task. Our main go to preps are, of course, egg bites, grilled Asian chicken, and pumpkin protein bites. This time around, I added these no bakes into the mix. They didn’t last long…just 2 days! So next time I will definitely be making a double batch. They are so easy for the kids to throw in their lunches. And it gives them a bit of a “treat” so they aren’t always the weird kids with no good food in their lunch…ha!
