Several Varieties of Jennies Coconut Macaroons
Coconut is a highly nutritious food that can be very beneficial in a gluten free kitchen. Coconut is naturally gluten free, contains healthy oil, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Jennies Coconut Macaroons are one of my very favorite naturally gluten free snacks. Extremely nutritious, very minimally processed, with only 3 ingredients -- these cookies are a perfect choice for a healthy gluten free dessert.
I have tried the large individually wrapped 2 oz. coconut macaroon, and the 8 oz. container of regular-sized macaroons. Both types of cookies have a wonderful soft, chewy texture and are perfectly sweetened with honey. Two regular macaroons contain 130 calories, 6 grams of saturated fat (from coconut flakes), 3 grams of fiber, and 1 gram of protein. If you need a healthy snack to keep you full between meals, these cookies are the perfect fit.
Jennies Coconut Macaroons are made of 3 simple ingredients: coconut flakes, honey, and egg whites. So simple you could make them at home, but conveniently located in most local health food stores! Perfect for those short on time in the kitchen!
