I came across a cookie today, a delicious one indeed, that caught my attention and encouraged me to post on my blog. As some of you know, I’m always on a mission to source good, healthy and all natural snacks. Who says that snacks need to be made with junk in order to taste yummy?
It’s a typical day at the office. Busy, running around, meetings and servicing clients. Sometimes, I’m found working away on my computer for hours at a time and Baaaammm, a snack craving kicks in. Oh oh...what can I snack on thats healthy and of course saticfying? Surely, I can take the elevator to the 53 floor and make a stop to the vending machine. Kit Kats, ketchup chips, doritos, granola bars loaded with sugar, salted peanuts or cola. Hmmmm... my taste buds are just not giving in to snacks packed with sugar, sugar substitutes, salt and ingredients that I can’t even pronounce. I head back down stairs to the nearest shops browsing around for something tasty, natural and something I could snack on. In and out of stores, I come across every snack one could find except one that contains natural ingredients and ones that I am familar with. Typical when shopping for healthy junk food. Or maybe not....
I walk into a Second Cup to order an Americano and right before my eyes I see these delicious homemade cookies, Rivi's Guilt Free Cookies. Label says, Guilt Free. Wow...interesting. As we all know, natural can mean so many things. One or two ingredients and its sold on the shelves as natural or organic. I pick up the package and read further.... too good to be true. Dairy & nut free & made without butter, margarine or oil. Wait this gets better. Preservative free, no artificial colouring or flavouring, no trans-fat and MADE WITH ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS. Untreated flour, sugar cane, baking powder, cocoa, egg whites, prunes, apple sauce & sea salt. Where are the rest of the ingredients? That’s it?! That all?! Lets give this a try. Oatmeal & Raisin, Chocolate, Ginger & Spice or Lemon. Decisions, decisions. Let’s go with chocolate. I took my first bite into the cookie and already I wanted more. A layer of chunky chocolate right down the middle. It was Delicious!!!! Soft!! All Natural!!! Low Calorie!! Less than 4 grams of sugar!!! Wholesome!! Filling!!! And Healthy!!! Just my style!!! In fact, I think I’m going to eat one right now. I urge you to try one next time you’re craving something sweet to kick back with your morning or afternoon coffee (as I did). They can be found at various locations from a Second Cup, to Whole Foods, Kitchen Table, Healthy Planet or Pusateris Fine Foods, just to name a few.
You will not be disappointed.
