DESSERT: Chipmunk Chip Cookies - Easy, low-fat Chocolate Chip (and Peanut Butter) Cookies

These chocolate cookies are ridiculously easy to make, very tasty, relatively high in fiber, and low-fat.  You can add peanut butter (unsweetened or sweetened) for an extra kick.

Serving Size: 1.5 Dozen Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup apple sauce (unsweetened)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2-3 tbsp peanut butter (optional)
• 1/4 - 1/2 cup agave or brown sugar (optional)

Instructions:

• Beat egg
• Add in flour, vanilla, and apple sauce
• Add in all remaining ingredients
• Mix until smooth
• Add in additional flour or apple sauce depending on whether you want a more moist or dry cookie
• Bake cookies @350 for 10-20 minutes - check cookies at 10, 15, and 20 minute marks - the drier your cookie, the less baking time you will need

SNACKS: Peanut Butter Yogurt with Bananas

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup non-fat yogurt (try Trader Joe's non-fat, French Village yogurt)
• Remember - flavored yogurts contain excess sugars, artificial flavors, and sometimes low amounts of cultures
• 1 tbsp unsweetened peanut butter (crunchy or smooth work, try Trader Joe's Organic Peanut Butters or blend your own at your local health food store or Whole Foods)
• 1/2 to 1 banana sliced horizontally (substitute: pineapple chunks, berries, or any other fruit)

Instructions:

• Blend the peanut butter and yogurt - it takes a minute or two, but stirring with a fork or spoon works 
• Top with bananas or alternative fruit topping
