For many people, the holidays are a time to get out the baking dishes and create festive desserts to share with family and friends.
With most holiday desserts containing a high amount of carbs and sugar, those of us who are on a low-carb or keto diet will be skipping this tradition. However, maybe we don’t have to.
Maybe we just need to find a good recipe that works with our health goals. These Grinch Holiday Cheesecake Cookies might just be the perfect solution!
They’re made with almond flour, which is not only low-carb but is also rich in vitamin E, magnesium, healthy fats, and fiber.
Plus, they feature our Grass-Fed Creamy Vanilla Whey Isolate Powder for a nutrient-rich protein boost that also contains L-Glutamine for immunity, gut health, and strong muscles.
