1. BB Cookies are a Good Source of Complex Carbohydrates: There are three macronutrients that are essential for good health and must be consumed daily – Carbohydrates, Proteins and Fats. Carbohydrates are your body’s main energy source. Foods with complex carbohydrates form the foundation of a healthful diet.

2. BB Cookies are a High Fiber Food: As complex carbohydrates, Baker’s Breakfast Cookies contain, on average, 5g of fiber per cookie which is considered a high fiber food. Adults need between 25-35 g of dietary fiber a day. Fiber is like a broom that aids in digestion and decreases transit time, meaning the time that potentially harmful substances in food waste stay in the intestinal tract. One of the leading ingredients in Baker’s Breakfast Cookies is rolled oats which help lower blood cholesterol levels and help regulate the body’s use of sugars. 

3. BB Cookies are a Nutrient Dense Food: There is more to food than just calories. Baker’s Breakfast Cookies are considered a “nutrient dense” food since they provide substantial amounts of vitamins and minerals. Most cookies are considered “calorie dense” since they supply mainly calories and few nutrients. Find a cookie with the same amount of calories and compare the amounts of vitamins, minerals and fat. Baker’s Breakfast Cookies are the cookie for those concerned with staying healthy and maintaining a good quality of life.

4. BB Cookies are a Heart Healthy Food: Baker’s Breakfast Cookies contain no saturated fat that can be harmful to heart health. Rather, expeller pressed canola oil is used which contains monounsaturated fatty acids. Mono-unsaturated fatty acids may help lower blood cholesterol levels.

5. BB Cookies can be used as Mini-Meals: Many Americans have moved away from the traditional “three square meals” a day. Many now practice “grazing” by eating several mini-meals. Baker’s Breakfast Cookies contain at least 300 calories that enable those “eating on the run” to consume a substantial nutrient-dense food. Try an assortment of Baker’s Breakfast Cookies to add variety to any “mini-meal” planning with a piece of fresh fruit and/or lowfat yogurt.

6. BB Cookies are a Trans Fat Free Snack: Many snack foods on the market contain trans fatty acids or snacks with “hydrogenated” or “partially hydrogenated oils”. Baker’s Breakfast Cookies contain no oils that have been hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated. Trans fatty acids in hydrogenated fats and their effect on blood cholesterol levels have raised concern over consumer health. In January 2006, the Food and Drug Administration will make it mandatory that food manufacturers disclose amounts of trans fatty acids on food labels so consumers can be more aware of what they are purchasing and consuming.  

7. BB Cookies are a Good Source of Protein and Fat: Unlike most cookies and snack foods, Baker’s Breakfast Cookies have a good supply of protein and fat that helps stabilize blood sugars when carbohydrates are consumed. Egg whites are used as the protein source that has the highest biological protein value in a protein-rich food. One single egg white supplies about 10 percent of the protein a person needs in a day. 

8. BB Cookies are an All Natural Food: Baker’s Breakfast Cookies contain the most natural ingredients without preservatives, hydrogenated oils and additives. The more natural foods can be eaten, the greater bioavailability of nutrients for proper digestion and absorption.

9. BB Cookies are a Good Breakfast Choice: Like their name, Baker’s Breakfast Cookies are a healthy substitute for doughnuts, pastries and other high fat breakfast foods. There is clear evidence that breakfast eaters are more productive, more capable of losing excess body weight and fat and able to maintain a healthy weight. This high fiber, nutrient-dense cookie provides the needed energy to start the day.

10. BB Cookies are a Healthy Dessert Choice: Let’s face it, eating is to be enjoyed. Baker’s Breakfast Cookies can be a delicious dessert when a craving exists. The Apple Pie Cookie with a scoop of low fat vanilla ice cream is a great alternative to the classical pie a la mode with little guilt attached.
