Carrot Cake Breakfast Protein Cookie

Lately, I have been working hard on coming up with some portable breakfasts for on-the go meals.

The criteria:

healthy – low in fat, high in nutrients full of protein – something that will hold you over to lunch packed with fiber – again, it needs staying power easy to eat in the car or on the bus can be frozen or made ahead

If I chose to pick these up, which I didn’t – they are still sitting just like that, then that would be the 12957 time of picking them up today.
