This is a healthy paleo version of oreo cookies.  The addition of protein powder also gives these a great protein boost for an ideal post workout snack. These are filled with coconut cream but you could simply just fill them with jam instead if wished.

Raw cacao powder is a great source of magnesium to help support muscle and nerve function. It also contains plenty of B vitamins for energy production, flavonoids and vitamin E.

Did You Know?

Place a can of full fat coconut milk in the fridge and chill for a few hours. The thick part at the top is the coconut cream for the filling. You could spread the biscuits with ice cream if wished for an iced version.
