If you’ve ever wanted dessert and a protein shake in the same bite, you’re in for a treat. These White Chocolate Cranberry Protein Cookies bring together almond flour, juicy dried cranberries, indulgent sugar-free white chocolate chips, and a powerhouse ½ cup of Naked Nutrition Vanilla Whey Isolate. Think of them as your sweet, high-protein sidekick for post-workout recovery or whenever that sweet tooth calls.
Why These Cookies Are a Serious Win
- High in protein: Each batch is loaded with whey isolate, making these cookies more than just a sugar fix.
- Clean ingredients: No refined grains, just almond flour, clean whey, and natural mix-ins.
- Lactose-friendly: Naked’s whey isolate has only ~0.1 g of lactose, reducing the risk of digestive discomfort.
- Sugar-free sweetness: Swap in a sugar-free sweetener and enjoy that bakery flavor without overloading on sugar.

A Quick Look at Naked Nutrition’s Vanilla Whey Isolate
Before we dive fully into cookie mode, let’s talk about the MVP protein powder here: Naked Whey Isolate (Vanilla, 2 lb)
- Sourced from premium farms: The whey comes from grass- or pasture-fed cows in New Zealand, Ireland, and the UK.
- Ultra-pure formula: Only four ingredients, and none of them are artificial.
- Low in lactose: With just ~0.1 g per serving, it’s a gentler choice for people who are sensitive to dairy.
- Protein-packed: A full serving provides ~30g of pure whey isolate.
- Clean and tested: It’s gluten-free, soy-free, and undergoes third-party verification for quality.
All that to say, it’s not just “any protein powder.” This is the kind of clean, minimal-ingredient whey that makes sense in a recipe you want to feel good about.
