Meal Prep Protein Treat
Tonight I meal prep these protein treats because my husband eats like training camp and my kid negotiates everything. They stay tasty healthy and ridiculously easy. I call that victory, though somehow I’m still sweeping crumbs and hiding extras from everyone before breakfast every single week lately too at home.
These chewy treats make busy days easier while keeping cravings under control. Prep once snack all week and enjoy sweet flavor without guilt or drama. My family loves them, even my picky child and perpetually hungry husband who asks for seconds every single time lately without fail at all either.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Mix oats, protein powder, peanut butter, honey, and chocolate chips until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Scoop dough onto the tray and gently flatten each mound for even baking and soft centers.

Bake less for softer cookies or slightly longer for crispier edges. Freeze baked cookies or assembled sandwiches in airtight containers. Chill filling and work quickly during assembly. Swap flavors with cinnamon, nuts, or dried fruit. Store at room temperature for three days or freeze for two months.
