Here’s a nut free cookie that is perfect for school lunch boxes and for the whole family.

Using seeds instead of nuts means you still get the benefit of fibre and protein, and the cookies are sweetened with dates and banana instead of white sugar.

As part of the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge we recommend three main meals and 2-3 snacks per day.
