Vegan SunButter Cookies

This Christmas season, don’t say good-bye to your favorite Peanut Butter Cookies, but rather try these healthier alternative Vegan SunButter Cookies! They are also Gluten-Free and Nut-Free, making it so more people can enjoy them. It makes it really easy to make them for friends and family, or even bake a batch for your neighbors, without having to leave anyone out. Even if you are not Vegan or Gluten-Free, this recipe will still be a good, healthier option than traditional Peanut Butter Cookies.

What is Sun Butter?

SunButter is made from sunflower seeds – which are a great source of protein, healthy fats, vitamin E, and magnesium. Protein and healthy fats keep you feeling full and energized, and the vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant. As well, magnesium is a key mineral that promotes good sleep, muscle recovery, and healthy digestion. Moreover, the best part is that is is allergen friendly! That means even those with peanut or chocolate allergies can have this Christmas cookie.

I have been using the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for the last few weeks and It has helped me so much. I struggle quite a bit with work related stress. When I'm in the chamber I feel completely relaxed, so much so that I can bring my laptop inside and work without stressing. The calmness I feel in the chamber lasts for the remainder of the day as well. I have found too, the more consistent I am with sessions throughout the week the better I feel. The office staff seems well trained in running the tanks too, so I feel safe. I see Dr. Kilcup as well for my brain and gut health. Until now, I don't think I've ever known what "normal" or "healthy" feels like. Thank you all, sincerely!

Darrell is highly knowledgeable and really gets to the root of the problem. Unlike a lot of doctors, Darrell doesn't just throw prescriptions at issues. He will test and test - digging for the cause and then working on fixing the issue. He and his staff are professional, courteous, and a joy to be around.

I am very grateful to have found Dr. Kilcup and be his patient for the last couple of years. He has helped me restore my health back after being exposed to toxic mold for years. He helped identify and treat all of my symptoms I was experiencing and address the root problem. I was looking for the right person who could help me heal with natural therapies and supplements and Dr. Kilcup was the perfect fit. Every appointment and session was necessary and one step towards all the progress I made. Dr. Kilcup is a great functional medicine doctor who was also an advocate for my own health and well-being. I never received any care or attention to detail from other Doctors in past experiences except with Dr. Kilcup. Anyone who is seeking a holistic path towards healing or improving their own health should see him.
