⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The high sugar content (49g per 100g) can contribute to blood-sugar spikes and offers little nutritional benefit. To counteract this, practice portion control (stick to 1-2 cookies) and pair them with a source of protein or healthy fat, like a handful of nuts or a cheese stick, to help slow sugar absorption.
