After partnering with Naked Nutrition to make a smoothie earlier this year, I was thrilled when they reached back out and wanted to send me some of their Naked Cookies to try, which are loaded with protein and contain a lot less sugar than a “regular” cookie. I immediately thought it would be so fun to make a little ice cream sandwich as an after-school snack, so that’s exactly what we did (complete with rainbow sprinkles for a certain 4 year-old).
These chocolate chip cookies have 10g of protein and only 1g of sugar, so they are a great snack anytime. I love to throw one in my bag when I’m teaching back-to-back barre classes or just have a lot of errands to run. They’re also free of gluten and soy (the main ingredient is almond flour instead of wheat).
Ice cream sandwiches are really easy to make but they don’t hold up super well so I prefer to put them together as soon as you’re ready to eat them—I tried to make these ahead of time and store them in the freezer, which got the job done, but they’re definitely best enjoyed as soon as they are assembled.
