I couldn’t NOT share this one with you!
I love chocolate – no secret there. Healthy chocolate recipes make me incredibly happy, and this one is one of my most favorite so far.
Quinoa – one of my favorite foods for weight loss and hormones thanks to the high protein, loads of fiber and burst of B-vitamins plus chocolate in an incredibly easy and yummy cookie. How do you go wrong?
Enjoy – we finished the whole batch in less than a day here. I bet you can’t eat just one……
