Healthy Break-the-Fast Snacking

After breaking a fast, many people want to eat something light and cozy, with a hydrating cup of tea, to ease their minds and bellies back into eating. An ideal option is a food that doesn’t trigger you to overeat, yet satisfies that need for something crunchy and sweet.

Of course, after a fast, you can feel inclined to overeat with any food, but these healthier almond biscotti offer protein, fiber, and just a hint of sweetness to curb cravings and help you satisfy yourself with less, if what you’re looking for is a cookie. And guess what? They’re free of gluten and refined sugar.

Don’t forget to round this treat out with a balance of whole-food protein, carbs, veggie, and fruit options! Have a safe and meaningful fast!
