Healthy Cookies!


I was craving something sweet again today, however I had a bit of a cheat day yesterday in terms of sweets, and I refused to let myself fall into a candy vortex again. Nuh-uh, not this time! So I decided to make some healthy cookies! It was generally a bit of an experiment, inspired by Blogilates' healthy cookie recipe. I didn't really know what I was doing, I just chucked together a bunch of things that I thought would work. And it worked! Each one of these cookies has 50 calories, which makes it a great snack!

Pancakes!


I'm not usually a big pancake fan. I just get the occasional pancake craving. And today was one of those days. In attempt to not sabotage my 'diet', I searched for a diet-friendly pancake recipe. 'Does such thing exist!?', you say. Why, yes it does! I used Undressed Skeleton's Blueberry Banana Pancakes recipe, and tweaked it the slightest bit. When I previously tried her recipe, I found that putting the blueberries IN the pancakes made my pancakes fall apart when I attempted to flip them. So instead of adding them into the pancake batter, I made a sauce out of them to put on top of the pancakes. Oh, and I added a couple of chocolate chips. 'Cause, y'know, I love me some chocolate chips. The portion is rather small, which is fine for me as I don't tend to eat big portions. If you, however, feel you need a little bit more to keep you full after breakfast, go ahead and grab a fruit salad or yoghurt with (fresh!) fruit.
