About Protein alfajor
Protein Alfajor is a nutritious twist on the classic Latin American dessert. Traditionally, alfajores consist of two tender cookies sandwiching a layer of dulce de leche, often coated in powdered sugar or chocolate. The protein version substitutes refined flour with almond or oat flour and uses natural sweeteners like honey or stevia. Protein powder is incorporated into the cookie dough, boosting its protein content for sustained energy and muscle repair. The filling typically combines nut butters or Greek yogurt with a touch of natural sweetener for a creamy, decadent middle. This healthier alternative caters to fitness enthusiasts and those seeking a guilt-free treat. While it reduces sugar and unhealthy fats compared to the classic recipe, it’s still a dessert and best enjoyed in moderation. Originating from South America, Protein Alfajor blends tradition with modern dietary trends for a snack that satisfies both cravings and nutritional needs.
