Dr. Lonnie Lowery and I co-wrote an article a while back about protein. In it, he discussed experiments on high protein intake conducted on college students i.e. the human lab rabbits of modern science.

Problem was, it was difficult to get 20-year olds to comply with the dietary guidelines. Dr. Lowery and Dr. Peter Lemon decided that it was easier to get them to eat high-protein cookies than drink protein shakes.

Here's my version of their lab rabbit cookies. Very easy to make, no baking, and delicious. Great for packing on trips or taking to work or school.

Chris's "Gourmet" Lab Rabbit Cookies


Ingredients

1.5 Cups Gluten-Free Oatmeal [toasted or raw]
3/4 Cup Natural Peanut Butter or Almond, Walnut etc. (Do not get the "no stir" variety; oil should separate.)
2-3 Scoops Low-Carb Metabolic Drive, chocolate
1 Cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
Just enough water to allow easy mixing

Directions

Toss the oatmeal into a bowl. Toss the protein powder and coconut on top of it. Add peanut butter and just a little warm water and mash it all together with your grubby paws. Form into cookies (or even just balls) then roll them in a plate of extra coconut flakes if you'd like.

I've been making these for a while, I remember at some point there was something similar like bon-bons or something. May of been the article with Lowery.

These are indeed awesome.

I made a batch for snack time this week and used half oats and half quinoa flakes. Worked well!

No coconut flakes and I used cashew butter. Amazing. I could take these to work, people would eat them up and then I'd have to break the news to them that they were 'healthy'. They would probably all hate me.

But, I'm greedy. This stuff is all for me. Thanks for the recipe!

By accident put way too much water in the mix, made it very goop-y... so decided to throw them in the oven for 10 minutes. Best cookies ever! No joke, try it. I've added about a cup of water give or take. Also I used almond meal instead of oatmeal.
