High Protein Banana Oat PB Chip Cookies 🍪 🍌

Ingredients
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I only had pb flavor)
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2-3 tbsp sugar-free peanut butter chips

• Optional:
• ½ tsp cinnamon (I definitely recommend😍)
• pinch of salt
• 1-2 tbsp almond milk if mixture is too thick
• 4-5 dark chocolate chips on top before baking

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Mash bananas until smooth.
3. Stir in vanilla, protein powder, oats, and chia seeds.
4. Fold in peanut butter chips.
5. Let mixture sit 5 minutes so oats and chia absorb moisture. (I chilled mine in the freezer for an hour while I made dinner)
6. Scoop onto a lined baking sheet and flatten slightly.(top with dark chocolate chips if desired)
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden.

"you are the greatest project you'll ever work on. restart, rest, refocus as many times as you need to. just don't give up on yourself."

Facts about weight regain after a significant weight loss:

*About 80–95% of people regain a significant portion of the weight they lost within 3–5 years
* Many regain all of it, but a meaningful minority keep some or all off long-term
* Only about 15–20% maintain major weight loss long-term (often defined as keeping off ≥10% of body weight for a year or more)

Weightloss isn’t just a checklist - it’s a lifestyle change.

Physique isn’t aesthetics.
It’s a lifestyle on display.

Consistency isn't flashy... but it works 💪🏼

Just focusing on the basics lately.
Good meals, getting work done, and moving my body every day.
