It has been a crazy week. Well, not really that crazy. But, I have tried two completely foreign recipes this week. A few days ago, I tried using lemon for the first time ever in my lemon protein cake. And now, I made my first ever macaroons in these coconut dark chocolate macaroons. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by the result. I may have just found my new favorite chocolate coconut recipe.

I was watching a cooking show a few days ago, and the chefs all made macaroons. It had me thinking, why don’t I make some macaroons? While these aren’t the typical french macaroons, they are still pretty dang tasty. So, I needed somewhere to start for this recipe. I found some amazing macaroons on Minimalist Baker that inspired me!

 

I decided to make them a little different than a typical coconut macaroon. I added some tsports.com/products/beast-protein/protein powder in there. I have never had coconut macaroons before so I’m not sure how adding the protein powder might alter the texture compared to ones without protein. But, they are definitely awesome and have almost a sugar cookie texture when you use the protein powder.
