I don’t know about you, but some days I crave a snack that is sweet but doesn’t kill my diet. Yes, it’s easy to reach for that bag of cookies or dig through your kids’ candy stash, however, you’re not doing yourself any favors. What if I told you that a sweet and healthy snack was just a few pulses of the blender away?

Coconut pumpkin chia pudding is super smooth, creamy, and decadent. It’s easy and quick to make and totally satisfies that sweet tooth. This homemade pudding makes a great afternoon snack, lunch, or start your morning.

If you like the flavors of fall and you like cookies, this recipe for Pumpkin Cinnamon Cookies may be just right for you. It’s neither really difficult nor really time consuming to put together. Cookies in general are a really good go-to when you want a nice sweet treat without a lot of hassle. I love the flavor of cinnamon, so I really enjoyed these, and it’s hard to beat having something ready in under half an hour.

Another thing about cookies is that, for me, personally, it’s a lot easier to watch how much I eat when I’m having cookies instead of cake. You know how it is with cakes, don’t you? You can easily have two slices (even three…) with all that cream and frosting, and it won’t even bother you. But when you’re having cookies, it’s like “Oh my goodness, I can’t eat four cookies, can I?” And you stop at two – which means you’ll save yourself from a bunch of calories compared to cake. Or at least I hope that’s how it will go!
