As you guys know we love our organic skin care products. We are constantly in the search for the next best thing by having to test the products out to see if it’s the right fit for us. Fortunately for us, we were introduced to Vegan Cuts. They have a Vegan Snack Box and Vegan Beauty Box that is sent out monthly packed with unique cosmetics, luxurious skincare and so much more. Everything is cruelty-free and vegan, which we love! It’s the easiest way to discover cruelty-free brands without committing to full-size products or prices. And once you find the beauty products or snacks that you absolutely love you can simply purchase the full size right on their site. They make for great gifts too and offer a variety of different fun packages. Our favorite product in the beauty box was our Bellapierre English Red nail polish.

After a little trial and error, I came up with a delicious (and healthy) protein cookie recipe that is totally bikini friendly. With summer just a few weeks away and many beach trips in my near future, I have been experimenting with healthy recipes that will keep me satisfied and kick my sweet tooth cravings to the curb. And with this recipe I think I may have come up with the perfect post workout snack..
