This is in addition to high antioxidant ingredients like dried blueberries and cacao nibs, so you’re getting a high fiber, antioxidant rich breakfast disguised as a cookie. Enjoy with a hard boiled egg for the perfect combo to keep you full until lunch.

Tip: Instead of jarred applesauce, you can easily make your own by simmering a large apple in a bit of water until soft and then mashing. You’ll get more nutrients that way, and a tastier treat!
