I love mornings.
Without knowing the benefits of healthy diets, mornings can be tough. It can be hard to get through the first hours of your day without wishing you were back under the covers.
This is no ordinary grocery store cookie. Packed with fiber, fruit, nuts, and even ginger, this breakfast cookie will help you come alive in the morning. You can even lose weight and reduce inflammation. And of course, it also tastes good. In fact, it’s delicious!
