Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I don’t really get into the creepy, spooky, side, but I do love things that are a little silly like my {Healthy} Brownie Recluse Spiders, from last year. This year I decided to spookify another favorite recipe to share with your family.
A good monster cookie, always hits the spot for me. What’s not to love? Good monster cookies are soft and chewy, but have crunchy ingredients like M&M’s and oats. We make protein bites/energy balls about once a month. I love them because I feel good about serving my family a protein-packed and fiber-rich treat, and my family loves the taste. I decided to make this fun Halloween alternative. To give it an extra spooky color I added Turmeric. Turmeric is a spice that adds the extra benefit of scaring away the inflammation in your body! That means these would make a great recovery food for athletes too!
To get the most benefits you need a little black pepper to absorb the turmeric, so eat it after dinner that you added black pepper to, or if you are really hardcore you can add a little black pepper to these spooky little bites. If you need more reasons to add Turmeric in your life check out my post on Turmeric benefits.
