Why do we use NutroActive almond flour and Diabexy sugar in this recipe?
First, NutroActive Almond Flour is perfect for making the cookies low-carb and gluten-free. It's a great choice for anyone needing to reduce their carbohydrate intake, like diabetics. Plus, it’s rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and proteins, making the cookies not just tasty but also nutritious.
Diabexy sugar is used because it's a low-calorie sweetener with a low glycemic index, making it ideal for managing blood sugar levels. It's twice as sweet as regular sugar, so you need less of it, which helps in keeping the cookies lower in calories. Additionally, it doesn't affect blood sugar levels, which is great for diabetics and anyone looking to manage their weight.
