My family loves these cookies. They are easy, a little messy, and so good for you. They are packed full of protein, fiber, and omega-3. Protein is so important. It helps balance our blood sugar levels and it is necessary for the neurotransmitters in our brain to send signals. I'll be talking about that more in my next posting. The fiber helps keep us clean on the inside, and getting rid of those toxins can prevent diseases. Omega-3 is one of the Essential Fatty Acids that the body must have to be and stay healthy. It is good for the skin, hair, heart, brain, and joints. It can also lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure, and reduce the risk of blood clot formation.

2/3 cup chocolate chips, carob chips, raisins, or cranberries
Optional- I prefer nothing extra
