Lemon Poppyseed Biscotti

You probably already know this about me but I love a good biscotti!!

There is nothing better to me than a delicious biscotti, packed with so much flavor and baked to perfection…. paired with a great cup of coffee what more could you want??

You can find a lot of low calorie options at your local grocery store and even most bakery biscotti’s have the nutrition right on the package or website. 🙂

These lemon poppyseed biscotti’s are not only delicious but so easy to make… and for under 170 calories you could have these every morning and not feel bad about it one bit!

From the freshness of the lemon and the richness of vanilla this will pair perfectly with your morning or afternoon (if you’re like me haha) coffee… and even better crumble up half of one of these right into a low calorie frozen yogurt or my favorite Halo Top!
