30 Days of Fat Loss–Day #30: Low-Carb Pumpkin Scones!

It’s the LAST DAY of the 30 Days of Fat Loss Campaign on JillFit.com and I wanted to leave you with one of my favorite seasonal treats: low-carb, healthy pumpkin protein scones, YUM!

Per serving, these delicious treats are the perfect combination of protein, carbs and good fats because of the almond flour used.  I usually eat two of these with black coffee in the morning as a fake/healthy version of a coffee-and-pastry combo :)  Two scones is the perfect small meal!  Check the nutrition info at the bottom!  Try them out and let us know what you think! Enjoy! ox Jill
