Make healthy holiday cookies with Shakeology (Great for Xmas Eve!)

Mmmmmmmm, cookies. They’re sweet. They’re delicious. They make your taste buds incredibly happy. So what’s not to love about cookies? Oh that’s right, you might not love that most cookies pack on the pounds due to the fact they’re loaded with all things naughty, not nice.
But we said “MOST COOKIES” are bad for you, not “ALL” cookies. Especially if they are healthy holiday cookies made withShakeology.
So this holiday season, treat yourself, and all of your family and friends, to some healthy holiday cookies that will put smiles on everyone’s faces without putting flab on their frames.

If you want to really get on Santa’s “nice” list, instead of leaving him a glass of milk alongside his plate of Shakeology cookies, whip up a shake to help wash the cookies down. Not only will it give him that extra oomph he needs to deliver gifts all over the world in one night, it’ll help curb his cravings for junk which will eventually help turn his “bowl full of jelly” into a lean and mean six-pack.
And if you don’t believe in Santa (wait, what?) you can still leave these Shakeology treats out over the holidays, because chances are, someone will devour them in no time.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
