Sugar is the Devil

Sugar is in EVERYTHING, no wonder I am addicted to it. Since moving to the South I have started to realize that I eat a lot more sugar. When I try turning my life around and eating more wholesome my body and mind sabotage my quest for healthy eating by craving sugar laced treats. I haven't dabbled in the world of sweet tea, that's too dangerous for me, I hear you drink it once and you're hooked.(Similar to rumors I have heard regarding cocaine) Working as a nurse doesn't help either. Managers are bringing in cupcakes for staff meetings, hospital big wigs are sending cookies to congratulate us on our patient survey scores, families are bringing in treats for being such good care takers of their loved ones. I'm SURROUNDED by sugar. I wish I didn't like it but I'm starting to really enjoy the taste of it, I feel so dirty. 

I've been trying to trick my body a little bit by eating more fruit but somedays that just doesn't cut it. I found this recipe for healthier cookies that seem to satisfy my sweet tooth and I feel slightly less guilty for being such a dextrose addict. It's only got 3 ingredients and it takes less than 15 minutes to whip up a batch. I will be the first to say I don't like bananas but these cookies cleverly disguise them and make sure of the brown speckled ones that I hate the most. Bananas are truly a versatile fruit that I should maybe reconsider incorporating into my life. 

Healthy Cookies

1 C. Oatmeal
2 smashed bananas
1/4 c. dark chocolate chips

​Mix, scoop and bake at 375 for 10 minutes
