Do you want to eat plant-based, but dread giving up your favorite treats and snacks? You know they contain dairy, egg and come with added refined sugars and saturated fat, so aren't the healthiest. So the question is, “What can you eat instead?”

I agree that it'll be helpful to have an alternative if those dreaded snack or sugar cravings hit. That’s why I’m excited for today’s episode. I want to share with you my newest favorite cookie to enjoy, and my daughter would agree! I often make these for my family and guests – and they’re so incredibly simple to make that my children help me make them too.

What’s more, these treats are naturally refined-sugar-free and make a tasty healthy snack for adults and children alike. Join me inside this episode and let me show you how tahini and sweet potatoes pair together to form delicious snackable chewy cookies. You could even make these for upcoming Labor Day weekend celebration gatherings. Enjoy!
