Greek Yogurt: If you do not have flavored vanilla lite Greek yogurt you can use plan Greek yogurt.

Storing Best Protein Chocolate Chip Cookies

Once the cookies cool you can place them in a large meal prep container and store them when you are ready to eat or take them with you on the go. Normally I place a paper tail on the bottom of the meal prep container before adding the protein chocolate chip cookies.

Freezing Protein Cookies

You can freeze these protein cookie but I don’t think you will eat them before ever thinking of putting them in the freezer. These cookies can last up to 5 days in the refrigerator before they start getting hard.

To freeze place them in a sealed container and keep for up to a month in the freezer. Just label the container or bag so that you know when they were placed in the freezer.
