Are Almond Cookies Healthy?
“I love how this recipe is so healthy and yet so simple. I believe in the healing power of avoiding the three foods that are hardest on your gut - gluten, sugar and dairy. Giving your gut a break from these can reduce inflammation in your body and boost your immune system and digestion. What’s important to note is that there are so many delicious alternatives to gluten, sugar and dairy that are just as satiating. These almond cookies are a perfect example,” says chef Rebekah, the founder of Atmosphere Studio, where they make products to help one live their best life with a thriving gut. Their pancake mix, vegan, sugar-free fudge and gut-healing kombuchas are available across NCR and Mumbai.
