Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

I found the "BEST" store bought cookie dough!
I have been eating it by the spoonful since I brought it home.
In fact
I have only made one small batch of cookies from this fabulous dough.
It is 100 % vegan so no problem eating it raw.
It is made by a company in San Diego called EAT PASTRY. They use
organic ingredients, plus...they make their peanut butter fresh in their kitchen.
So far I have only tried the Peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough however, their
website lists several other flavors like: ginger, oatmeal raisin,
chocolate chunk, and gluten free chocolate chunk.


I discovered my jar at Whole Food Market.
Go to their website to find out where you can purchase their products.
EAT PASTRY



For you cookie dough lovers:
Try adding this to Vanilla Ice Cream for a homemade
version of Cookie dough ice cream!
Kids will love it!

Blueberries!!

I LOVE Blueberries... I especially love the fact that they are packed with antioxidants...those compounds that protect our cells from free radical damage, thus slowing down the aging process and keeping us healthy.

Blueberries are low in calories, high in fiber, and are a low glycemic fruit which means that they won't spike your blood sugar levels! Plus, they contain 14 mg of vitamin C per 1 cup of blueberries.

I try to eat them every day. If you can't get them fresh... pick up organic frozen Blueberries from Trader Joe's. They are reasonably priced and delicious!

You can:

  • Toss them in the blender for a morning smoothie...don't forget to add protein powder to start your day with balanced blood sugar levels.

  • Add them to your morning cereal.

  • Spread almond or peanut butter on toast and top with fresh blueberries...kids will love this one!

  • Or, toss them in your salad for an extra kick of antioxidants.

Pick up some Fresh or Frozen blueberries to amp up your antioxidant load. The best part is they taste amazing so you won't realize that your are eating something that is so good for you!
