My HEALTHY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES DESERT TAKEN WITH A DRINK OF SOY MILK

Hello. I am making today's post as a submission to the steemit health challenge contest. I will be showing you guys my healthy desert recipe. It is no news that old-school chocolate chip cookies are full of unhealthy fats, but I will show you a way to make and enjoy gluten-free cookies that are fully healthy, devoid of unhealthy fats, and yet as appetizing and delicious as your regular cookies.

I am personally obsessed with eating healthy food. I feel the best when I don’t eat sugar. I decided to take soy milk along with the cookies as opposed to regular milk because soy milk is natural, healthy and has less sugar than cow milk.

The desert I will be making today is my healthy chocolate chip cookies desert, taken with a drink of soy milk(Because soy milk has lesser sugar than regular milk).

This healthy chocolate chip cookie desert has the following health benefits:

• They are a quick source of carbohydrate
• Since they are made of whole rice flour, they are rich in B-complex and dietary fiber
• Contain no sugar
• Contain no butter hence cholesterol
• Dark chocolate helps fight inflammation in the body.
• The cookie is made with whole rice grain flour which helps to lower blood pressure.
