Cookies are my absolute favorite treat, but unfortunately they are not the best for the waistline, so I created my very own HEALTHY cookie alternative that you can have guilt-free, and still stay on top of your fitness goals! My almond butter cookies are filling, delicious, full of fiber, and protein, leaving you feeling content just after a couple small cookies. Imaging actually feeling FULL after eating two cookies! You can say goodbye to over-eating when you are eating the right ingredients.
These cookies will trigger your leptin levels to rise, (the hormone that tells you you’re full and to stop eating) and will be a life saver during the mid-day energy slump when you want to reach for something sweet for a pick-me-up. These energizing and metabolism boosting cookies will be a hit at your holiday office party or even with your kiddos.
