Health Crunchies – Guilt-free yoghurt & cookie sandwich

We all love to enjoy a sweet snack every now and then, especially when we are particularly strict on our diets. We are always on the lookout for that treat that fits our daily calories and still tastes great and hits the spot. These Health Crunchies are exactly what you’ve been looking for. Crunchy, soft, sweet and full of great flavours.

The crunchie cookies are naturally sweetened with honey and made with coconut, almond flour, cinnamon, peanut butter and low-fat yoghurt. When baked, these Health Crunchies are relatively soft on the inside and pure crunch on the outside. The yoghurt filling adds some softness and the fruit provide extra flavour and vitamins.

Perfect for snack time, these crunchies are only 300 calories per serving and will keep you to your daily goals. If you want to turn it into a vegan or vegetarian snack, replace the dairy with your preferred alternatives.

Snack time just got a whole lot tastier and healthier with these Health Crunchies, guilt-free and delicious.
