Ben shares a simple 3-ingredient cookie recipe that replaces the after-dinner sweet craving without spiking insulin or triggering more eating. The recipe: Ripe bananas + protein powder + tahini, baked at 350°F for 15–18 minutes. Optional: dark chocolate chips. Refrigerate the mix for 45–60 minutes before baking — don't skip this step. Why it works: ~10g of protein per cookie slows digestion, stabilizes blood sugar, and shuts down the second craving wave. This isn't about fewer calories — it's about better hormones. 📚 🎁 Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.
