Workout: 3.5 miles (speed work of 6 x 400 M repeats with 30 seconds rest between each)
Lately, my go-to evening snack has been cookies and milk. I love love love a big glass of milk, and the second best thing to wash it down with is a cookie! (The best thing is a Krispy Kreme donut!!) Okay, so when you are trying to lose weight cookies aren't the best choice. I've tried a few different "healthy" cookie recipes that were okay, but I haven't found one worth making again. And then last week I saw this "healthy" cookie posted on facebook at least 3 times, and then I saw it on a foodie blog I follow. Sooooooooo, I took it as a sign to try it!!
Have you heard of these Skinny Banana Cookies? At first I was totally skeptical. The cookie calls for 3 ingredients: bananas, oats, and chocolate chips. I had no clue how you made a cookie without flour, egg, and sugar, but I had to think SKINNY, be brave, and just try it. Yes, brave, because those of you that know me well, know I do NOT like healthy food.
So here they are. They definitely looked like a cookie so that was good. Upon my first bite the only thought I had was - These are...interesting. And then every bite after that I thought - hmmmm, interesting. I ended up eating 5 so obviously I thought they were good. But I wouldn't describe them as "good" cookies. Weird, I know. But, they were definitely worth making again. In fact, I plan on making some more in the next few days. They are great alternative to an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. And trust me when I say, if I liked them, then you will like them!! You can find the recipe I tried here. Enjoy!!
