78 Calorie Healthy and Low-Cal Protein Macaroons

I think I hit the jackpot with this recipe last year!  It is definitely one of my favorite recipes I have ever created, and perfect for those following a healthy lifestyle. Not only are these moist, decadent, and satisfying, but they are filled with healthy fats and loaded with protein!  The best part is that my kids loved them as much as me!
