Restore your gut and immunity with three autoimmune-approved smoothie recipes.

I love these fat bomb cookies. They're bursting with healthy fats, which I love because fat is excellent for your body, adds a lot of flavor to food, and is important for keeping you full and satiated.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw macadamia nuts
• 1 Tbsp macadamia or other oil (avocado works well)
• ½ tsp liquid stevia, or to taste
• ½ cup shredded coconut or almond meal
• 1 large egg (or vegan egg)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp Himalayan salt
• 1/3 cup diabetic-friendly dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a food processor or high-powered blender, grind nuts until they resemble coarse meal. Add oil and continue to process until mixture becomes smooth.

Transfer to a bowl and add stevia, shredded coconut or almond meal, egg, vanilla and salt. Stir until dough comes together. Stir in chocolate chips.

Shape by hand into 1 inch balls and then flatten with the palm of your hand to about ¼ inch thick. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until just golden brown around the edges and beginning to set on top.

Remove and let cool completely before serving.
