“Healthy” Chocolate Chip Cookies

By LVA Leave a Comment

notetoselfI know, I know…chocolate chip cookies aren’t healthy. But this recipe is the healthiest I’ve seen yet. Mary Faye (my homeopathist) gives us the lowdown on how to make delicious cookies that still have nutritional value.

Seriously. If you are going to go the sugar route then it is a good idea to at least have some ingredients that will offer value to your body.

For instance: SUCANAT: For a less-processed alternative with small amounts of nutrients in it as well, look for sucanat, which is simply dehydrated sugar cane juice. Sucanat (an abbreviation for sugar-cane-natural) has a stronger molasses flavor than refined white sugar and retains all of the nutrients found in natural sugar cane juice, including iron, calcium, vitamin B6 and potassium. FROM HEALTH/TIME

COCONUT OIL: Conjugated linoleic acids which help you burn belly fat (with a cookie…go figure). You still need to eat in moderation!

GREY SEA SALT: Adds minerals and isn’t as sharp as regular sea salt

AMARANTH FLOUR: High in protein

You definitely need to indulge in moderation though, and be careful these cookies are delish and you will want to eat more than one! Enjoy the video and let me know what you think. Did you find these cookies soft, yummy, and delicious?
