Flat Tummy Post-Workout Snack

Healthy Banana-Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies

We are always searching for ways on how to get a flat tummy.  A good workout routine, balanced diet and a monthly detox are key, but you also need to consider what you eat after working out. It should be something that provides energy, protein and a good source of fibre to keep your metabolism running and help you feel full. You don’t want to through away all that hard work by eating the wrong thing.

These banana-oat chocolate chip cookies are a great alternative to protein bars and other processed snacks that are packed with sugars and starchy ingredients - not a good choice if you’re trying to reduce bloating.

These cookies taste amazing and it feels more like you are having a treat than a healthy snack!  You would never guess there is no sugar, flour or butter added, and only 40 to 50 calories per cookie. 

Enjoy!
