Luckily, healthy no longer equals missing out on nostalgic holiday treats – including all the Christmas goodies.
This year, we’re focusing on gingerbread, which is a flavor currently hard to come by when you’re searching for a cookie that’s nutrient-rich and free from unnatural sugars and flours.
However, when you turn gingerbread into a bliss ball, you suddenly end up with a mineral-rich dessert bursting with antioxidants and healthy fats, and sweetened with only natural sugars.
Joy to the World … gingerbread has come.
