Lately I have been searching the web for macro friendly treats for bikini competitors to eat during competition prep without the guilt or the weight gain. If you have read my blog before, then you know you are in the right place to find macro friendly treats! A couple of my latest have been low carb mug cake & a low carb ice cream recipe. These of course can fit perfectly in your contest prep and still satisfy that sweet tooth! However, it wouldn’t be a complete sweet treat line up without no bake sugar free cookies!
Of course these cookies are truly Glam Girl Bikini style because they are UNICORN themed!

Unicorn No-Bake Cookie Instructions:
1. Line a baking tray or large plate with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add your coconut flour. Add your cashew butter and maple syrup and mix until combined. Stir through your sprinkles.
