These chocolate chip cookies are lower in added sugar, gluten-free, grain-free, and free of food dyes, refined sugar and preservatives. They are sweet without being too sweet, soft, and chocolatey.
I love to make an occasional chocolate chip cookie when I have company, when I’m going to an event, or when I’m just making a little treat for a Saturday night at home. This is when I will pull out this chocolate chip cookie recipe.
Improving your health can absolutely still mean having an occasional treat–the key is limiting portions, using quality ingredients and having the right ratio of ingredients that won’t spike your blood sugar!
The best way to address inflammation and blood sugar imbalances is getting consistent with strategic meal plans that take you from eating “healthy” to eating optimal. Join The Being Collective, my membership community for weekly anti-inflammatory meal plans, weekly recorded calls with myself and my functional medicine nutritionists, monthly Q&As with me, and an empowering community of women. One healthy meal or one workout isn’t going to move the needle but a proven system and long-term consistency will!
