Snacks, treats and cookies.
One of the most tempting things that seem to loom around us especially on a quest to eat healthier, get fitter and drop a few pounds of fat. I can even paint the picture for you right now.
Imagine.
It’s holiday time.
Friends, family and loved ones are over with smiles and joy all over there faces.
This is the year you’ve decided to eat healthier. Watch your calories. Count your packs and take charge of your health and fitness goals once and for all. No more waiting for New Years to set a life changing resolution.
The power is in your hands right now and you’re excited about it.
Your childhood favourite double top cream filled cake that mom used to make for those special occasions comes in from around the corner…
Packed with toppings your eyes and heart can’t resist.
You can already hear me in the back of your mind saying,“Don’t do it! Don’t doooo it!”
Scary…
Have you thought about low carb cookie recipes?
Side note: The only reason why I would say don’t do it or to not eat whatever is being thrown at you is due to the extremely high amount of simple sugars most snacks and treats are filled with. This can create a serious spike in your sugar levels, cause you to easily overeat for the day and simply do not keep you full longer than 30 minutes potentially leading to other chronic health concerns when taken in excess. Low carb cookie recipes may be the answer. Eat smart and not in excess.
Well, nobody wants to get into a situation like that hence the motivation to give you a few tasty treat ideas to manuever like these low carb cookie recipes that are bound to make your guests smile.
Sometimes it isn’t just about the sugar, it’s about how you package it to get the flavour you are looking for.
And with that, get ready to roll up your sleeves and put on your bakers hat.
Your homemade low carb cookie recipes await.
