No Guilt Cookies N'Cream Cheesecake

IMG_7508.jpg


Okay I did a thing… and it’s called cookies n’ cream cheesecake.

This is a prime example of a recipe that is DELICIOUS and very low on the time and money meter.

Which I think we can all be excited about.

Vegan, gluten-free, low sugar... no guilt needed here, and no need for 47 ingredients and 4.6 hours of prep time either...

When it comes to health, I am a firm believer of enjoying your food and also nourishing your body. The two are not exclusive. Which is way I am on an ongoing mission to combine deliciousness with healthy. And I think I hit the nail on the head with this one!

I love using whole food ingredients to recreate a childhood favourite.

And for PCOS , hormonal imbalances, or unstable blood sugar this is a treat you can eat without going on a rollercoaster ride…
