Coffee and Dates Cookie
Benefits: High in fibre from dates and almonds, which supports digestion and gut health, while also providing moderate protein from eggs and almonds to help with satiety and muscle support. They’re a more gut-friendly, nutrient-dense alternative to typical cookies, especially being gluten- and dairy-free.
