FUEL YOUR BODY
Do you have a sweet tooth like me?!? 🙊
Do you struggle with maintaining your healthy lifestyle because you feel like you do SOOOOO good… and then your sweet tooth kicks in and it has you reaching for some unhealthier options that throw you off track (read till the end) and save this recipe so you can satisfy your sweet tooth in a healthier way with these DELICIOUS gluten free + dairy free peanut butter protein cookies!
And remember… eating sweets ISN’T going to ruin your progress. It’s about finding balance and for me that meant slowing down and being mindful when I was eating. No more eating an entire bag of Milano cookies before I realized I couldn’t even taste them anymore and felt sick to my stomach.
PRO TIP: Slow down when you are eating. Savor and appreciate your food and the way it tastes. Do not eat while you are watching TV or on your phone. Practicing mindful eating and staying preset with your food and the company you are with is important for your weight loss goals. Did you know that slowing down while you’re eating and becoming more mindful matters especially when it comes to weight loss? Harvard University conducted a study on mindful eating over a 3 month period, not only did participants lose an average of 9 pounds they reported less hunger, anxiety, stress, depression and binge eating 🤯 Let me know in the comments if you want to read the study and I’ll sent it your way 🧡 #healthyrecipes #healthycookies #mindfuleating
