Get ready for Anzac Day:

With Anzac Day three days away on 25^th April, it’s time for Anzac biscuits.

But this recipe from SlenderSlim is a low calorie, gluten free alternative that tastes delicious – and is also healthy. They’re the perfect snack for a ‘between’ treat or to satisfy a craving for something a bit sweet, at only 95 calories per serve. Try them!
