I get asked a lot about healthy snacking and healthy living - people seem to want a more healthy chocolate chip cookie or simple ways to feel better. And I get it... life is all about being healthy but also finding balance, and the little parts DO COUNT! Whether that is doing some sit ups or push-ups during a commercial break during your favorite show, subbing in veggies for fries when you dine out, or choosing a more healthy chocolate chip cookie over a traditional one, when you start to add up your healthier choices, it can lead to big wins in the end.

That's just one of the reasons I created my newest EVER BETTER™ Protein Bite flavor: Chocolate Chip Love! A more healthy chocolate chip cookie than the usual one, it delivers all the taste without the guilt - I like to call it a guilt-free indulgence! And right now, you can save 20% when you use code: LOVE20

Like my other EVER BETTER™ Protein Bite flavors, Chocolate Chip Love! is a good source of protein - 6 grams per serving - and are keto friendly and gluten free. But one of my favorite parts is that they are low in sugar, which makes this more healthy chocolate chip cookie the perfect holiday snack. It will offset some of the more traditional cookies and cakes offered up at parties, so when you are craving a sweet treat, you still get all that satisfaction, just without all the sugar.

The secret ingredient is allulose, which is becoming more and more popular, no wonder as it is a natural sugar that actually tastes like real sugar - but without all the carbs! So if you are watching your sugar intake (a good thing to do to help keep inflammation at bay, according to Mayo Clinic!), are diabetic or following a keto diet, or simply want the little healthy steps to add up, this more healthy chocolate chip cookie option is for you.

Plus, these new EVER BETTER™ Chocolate Chip Love! Protein Cookies are extra soft and delicious - the soft-baked texture is like they just came out of the oven! They are a delicious way to satisfy your sweet tooth, and taste homemade... so make your treats count by making that small, healthier choice with EVER BETTER™ Chocolate Chip Love! - save 20% NOW when you order - use code: LOVE20

And for a few more ways to make your nutrition count during the holiday season, try these suggestions:

  1. Start the day with a glass of warm lemon water. It helps hydrate you and keep your digestive system running smoothly, plus gives you an added dose of immune-boosting vitamin C!
  2. Make sure you start the day with a healthy breakfast. It sets a good tone for the day, and ensures that if you really do indulge later, you got in a healthy meal earlier in the day. Try my healthy breakfast suggestions!
  3. Before you hit up a party, fill up with a good-for-you-snack or appetizer. That way you won't be reaching for every little thing that comes your way, helping to keep your calorie count in check. I like an apple with a piece of cheese or a handful of almonds to help keep my cravings at bay.

I hope these tips help YOU to navigate the holiday season in a healthy yet rewarding way! And don't forget to try my new EVER BETTER™ Chocolate Chip Love! Protein Bites - a more healthy chocolate chip cookie option, and perfect as part of a healthy gift basket, too!

Let's live EVER BETTER™ - together!!
