Chai tea it was probably the first tea I felt in love with. I just love how warming it's, the perfect combination of the sweetness of cinnamon and the bitterness from black tea... anyone else loves that about this tea?
Another of my favorite things that this recipe includes is, of course, cookies. I have always been a cookie monster and I'm always down for a good nourishing recipe. These cookies are nourishing for our bodies because I include good and nutrient dense ingredients without sacrificing the taste or texture.
The inspiration of this recipe was nothing but one daily rituals. Seed Cycling. Something that has been part of my life for now two years and counting! The key when it comes to healing your body, no matter what is consistency and patient, and of course... yummy recipes!
As you can see, these cookies have a delicious filling! You know that cookies come in all sizes, shapes and forms. In this case the base of these cookies is a chai spiced using my favorite Organic Plant Based Protein from Natural Force, a brand that I trust because of the quality and values and this protein flavor is AMAZING!
For the filling we are doing a mixture of tahini and sunflower seed butter. Simply delicious and creamy!
Also, another thing about this recipe is that we won't be baking it. Yeah, easy peasy cookie recipe coming your way. The best thing is that the filling remains soft with a firm crust. Also you can be expecting for this recipe to be:
- Vegan
- Low Carb
- Gluten Free
- No Inflammatory Ingredients
- Keto friendly
Each serving is loaded with healthy fats and micronutrients (zinc, magnesium, B vitamins and fiber), and for my friends thriving in keto or low carb, these cookies only have 7.3g of total carbs and 3.9g of fiber, this means that per serving there's only 3.4g of net carbs.
Also, for sweetener I use my old favorite, Lakanto's golden monk fruit, you can use PURELYHL for discount, YAY! This is such a staple for me, I have always got a few bags in stock because as you may know by know, I love creating sweet low carb and keto friendly recipes.
Now, are you ready to get started on these cookies?
