Healthy Cookies Psb Cafe Sheridan

 

What makes a cookie healthy?

 

Can one of the snacks that are viewed as an unhealthy snack be made in a way for it to be healthy. Yes, a cookie can be healthy within moderation you just need to find a healthy option at a grocery store or a cafe. A cookie should have no trans fats to warrant it being healthy since trans facts is worst type of fat. A food could have. Also, a cookie also containing no hydrogenated oils nor partially hydrogenated oils makes it healthy as the oil contains unhealthy fats. Which can contribute to heart disease, stroke, or type 2 diabetes.

Having a cookie baked from white flour is just junk food as it has not much nutritional value. Baking a cookie out of almond flower or oat flour would deem the cookie to be healthy since it has good nutrients. Other things that a healthy cookie contains low amount of butter and instead of using white sugar they use sugar substitutes. Sugar substitutes are as raw honey, pure maple syrup and much more. These make the cookies healthier than store bought cookies that have tons of trans fats and other unhealthy stuff.

At Psb Café we only do sell cookies which were baked fresh no prepacked cookies since prepacked have fats so it can remain longer on the shelf cookies are made fresh each day at Psb Café. Our only difference is in the type of stuff we sell which is only healthy and nutritional snacks.
