If you or someone you love is addicted to Thin Mints, but eating processed crap make them feel stuffed like a piñata, these are the (poop) cookies for you! As you may know from a previous article, my baby girl Brynn (4) has been chronically ill for over a year. The root cause of her illness was a traumatic experience that caused her to hold back when going potty.

A year later all I think about, obsessively, is how to get this kid to poop!?! She’s only 4, and wants to eat every starch and grain on the planet. Its HARD forcing her to eat greens, veggies and fruit. But she’ll eat some.

She LOVES chocolate, so I thought I’d make this super secret family recipe… with a twist… PRUNES & wheat bran! So if you want the OG recipe CLICK HERE. If you want to keep yourself “regular”, read on my friend!

Enjoy!
