Do you miss the sweet things in life? Who doesn’t enjoy some cookies and milk in front of the fireplace on a cold winter night? Many of us certainly do, only for it to cause varying degrees of inflammation within our bodies. Most of it occurs in the GI tract, disturbing the gut-biome balance and bloating your tummy, among other things. Fortunately, this paleo-friendly recipe for black and white cookies is low-carb and sugar-free.
A Delectable Black and White Cookie for Paleo Lovers
Cookies are a favorite snack of millions of people, but most people living a paleo lifestyle will avoid them due to their high calorie content, refined carbs, and sugar. However, by tweaking the ingredients, you can turn an unhealthy snack, into a delicious treat that you can enjoy at any time of day.
Almond flour ranks low on the glycemic index and won’t spike your blood sugar too much unlike faster carbohydrates like table sugar. Instead, it provides a slow-burning energy source that tastes even better than traditional refined flour. Almond flour is suitable for people that live with Celiac disease, and cannot tolerate gluten. (1)
The recipe includes six tablespoons of raw honey for everything, which should not cause a sugar spike and subsequent sugar crash unlike processed sugars. Raw, unpasteurized honey contains live bacterial enzymes that have an antibacterial and antimicrobial effect. These probiotic enymes found in the propolis and royal jelly improve digestion while the phytosterol antioxidants remove free radicals from your blood, keeping your cells healthy. (2)
