The Holiday season is upon us
Today, we are sharing one of our delectable dessert recipes from our new E-book Happy Healthy Holidays – Paleo Gingerbread Cookies!
When we were coming up with recipe ideas for this book, Gingerbread was top of the list. It’s Matt’s absolute favourite, so of course we had to create a healthy alternative!
We reckon they taste even better than the original! A healthy, gluten free and refined sugar free version of this Christmas classic.
What makes them taste so amazing?
It comes down to sweetness, spices and texture! The sweetness comes from the molasses and honey, we use the delicious spices of ginger, clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg. So the cookies are spicy, yet sweet, with that delicious distinct gingerbread taste. We love how the cookies are firm on the outside, but soft and chewy on the inside.
Healthy cookies!
On the plus side, molasses contains a number of minerals such as calcium magnesium potassium, iron, copper and more! So you really can call these Paleo Gingerbread cookies healthy!
You will find this and 27 other recipes in our new Christmas E-Book “Happy Healthy Holidays”. (One of those recipes may or may not be Gingerbread Nice Cream! OHH YEAH!)
A lot of diets allow for cheat days and Christmas is usually one of them. But once you choose a healthy eating lifestyle, you create habits that stick. It’s tempting to cheat sometimes, and we get that. But what if we told you could eat delicious food that is healthy and makes you feel amazing (even dessert)!
’Tis the season to indulge right? Or is it?
Holidays are a time of joy and celebration. But why is it the most stressful time of the year? And why do we not put healthy food choices first and choose to overindulge only to regret it later on? We all joke and laugh about getting out our ‘fat pants’ or going into a food coma. But aren’t we worth more than this?
This year, we’re going to help you change the Christmas table by taking out the fillers and nasties from the plate, and adding in more goodness!
