DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
-gluten free & vegan🍪

INGREDIENTS:

3 cups cooked chickpeas- rinsed and drained
1 cup organic peanut butter
1 cup maple syrup
5 tbs. unsweetened cocoa powder
5 tsp. vanilla
1 tbs. shredded coconut
1 tsp. baking soda
2 dashes of cinnamon
pinch of salt
2 cups chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Mix in chocolate chips. Make into small scoops onto baking dish, cook for 23 minutes or until you can stick a fork in the middle of the cookie and it comes out clean. Take out of oven and cool. ENJOY!

**Since we always end up making a double batch, this is the double batch amounts. Just halve amounts for one cookie's sheet worth of cookies.

FOOD is MEDICINE highlight:
​
  • Chickpeas- high protein, high fiber, low sodium and cholesterol free. Excellent source of vitamin C, folate, vitamin B6, and soluble fiber. Have been shown to aid in digestion, curb appetite, and reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes, and they are packed with nutrients and rich in essential amino acids.
  • Peanut Butter- use the organic kind! Nuts and seeds absorb and hold whatever is in their environment, so if you eat conventional nut butters they are likely to be high in chemical sprays. The organic kind, in moderation, is super healthy! High in protein, vitamin B6, and minerals such as zinc, magnesium and potassium, and niacin.  Peanut butter is also high in sodium, saturated fat, and calories, so eat in moderation for optimal health benefits.
  • Maple Syrup- has high antioxidants along with other natural sweeteners like molasses and honey. Maple syrup contains up to 24 different antioxidants as phenolic compounds, which reduce free radical damage that can cause inflammation and attribute to chronic disease. The polyphenol antioxidants also reduce inflammation and helps disease such as heart disease, arthritis, and inflammatory bowl disease. It also reduces oxidative stress! Oxidative stress makes us age quicker and lowers our immune system. Maple syrup also has a low glycemic index, so it is metabolized more slowly in the liver and thus avoid the sugar high and sugar crash from refined sugars and refined carbohydrates. Maple syrup also has high amounts of zinc and manganese, along with calcium and potassium. Zinc helps keep you level of white blood cells up to fight illness and improve immunity, and manganese helps with calcium absorption, brain and nerve function, blood sugar regulation and aids in metabolizing fat and carbohydrates.

Here's what our patients have to say...

TOTAL HEALTH: "My overall health has improved so much since coming to The Light Clinic. It is so nice to have people who listen to your health needs and work with you to explore and treat your conditions. More and more I consider them my primary health care."
AMAZING, PROFESSIONAL & KIND: "This was my first experience at The Light Clinic and also meeting Joseph for the first time. I feel so utterly blessed to have found Joseph and his "healing hands". He was professional and knowledgeable, while being personable and gentle. He explained everything in detail, so my comfort level was at an all-time high. Thank you Joseph and thank you Light Clinic!"
GREAT OPTION FOR ALTERNATIVE HEALTHCARE: "Love the whole body approach at the Light Clinic! Have had several treatments and very pleased.You will enjoy the healing atmosphere and the personal attention you receive from these practitioners. "Discovered" them from rave reviews from our own patients. So glad we did! Thank you!"
ALWAYS THE BEST: "My time with Mary Frank Slaughter is always so comforting. I am assured of her expertise and loving care. She'll find things before my doctor does and it always surprises him when he tells me something and I tell him my CranioSacral Therapist told me the same thing. The entire staff is also like this. Do yourself a favor - go see them."
