I picked up a Clean Eating magazine to do a little research for Camp Endeavor and because I’ve heard a lot about this book/diet/magazine and never looked into it. I was actually expecting a very high protein, veggies and fruit diet (no carbs or sugar) but it was much more balanced than I thought! I might even subscribe to it!

Since my last baking success, I’ve been on the lookout for new recipes like never before. Bread is next but I needed one more success before tackling something so scary. I have a serious fear of yeast people. I also had been on the lookout for a “healthier” cookie. This cookie fit the bill and I actually had all of the ingredients on hand (which means it is a very short and basic list). The cookies did not disappoint. But then again, what’s disappointing about chocolate and peanut butter?

Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies adapted from Clean Eating

• 1 cup unsalted almond butter (I used peanut butter because I was out of almond)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 oz dark chocolate, chopped into pieces

Pre-heat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, stir together first 5 ingredients until blended. Stir in chocolate.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes and let cool 15 more minutes.

As you probably have guessed by now, I’m always up for trying the newest products.  And something I’m always on the hunt for? Greek yogurt toppings! This antioxidant-rich blend contains goji berries, mulberries, goldenberries, cacoa nibs and cashews. It is organic, raw, kosher and vegan. It is also perfect on yogurt, giving each bite a bit of sweetness, tartness, and/or bitterness – all in one bowl.

This is one of the many Navitas Naturals products. They have a wide variety of super and functional foods, I can’t wait to try more!

What is your favorite yogurt topping?
