We love it when nutritious is also incredibly simple. And with just 3 ingredients, these cookies couldn’t be simpler. They’re flourless, which means they have just two grams net carbs, plus they’re naturally gluten free, as well.
Make them at home (recipe below), pick ‘em up from FUEL Café + Market at Ochsner Fitness Center, or order ahead to stock up on a batch or two to keep on hand!
