I’ll admit, whenever I go to the grocery store, I find myself wandering the cookie aisle when I should be spending time shopping for healthy meal options for the week. I’m usually just there to look (at least that’s what I tell myself), but recently, I came across something I had to try. My favorite biscotti company, Nonni’s, has come out with Artisan Thin Chocolate Chip Cookies. They come in three flavors; Toasted Coconut, Almond Chocolate, and Double Chocolate. After diving into a pack, I knew these were going to be a constant in my pantry.
Here are 5 reasons they should be in yours too!
Grab & Go
I’ve noticed that when my sweet tooth strikes and I’m on the go, I’m in trouble. Usually, I just end up parking out front of my favorite bakery, indulging in everything in sight and totally neglecting my healthy eating habits. It’s happened too many times to count. Nonni’s Artisan Thin Chocolate Chip Cookies have totally helped me break that awful pattern. They’re individually packaged and I keep a pack in my purse and a couple in the car. That way, when that snack sensation strikes, I can reach for something delicious that totally satisfies me.
Portion Control
Not only are the individual packages perfect for on the go, but they are a lifesaver when it comes to portion control! There’s no temptation to keep eating through the box, because they are individually wrapped and you know exactly how much you’re getting! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve found myself losing count of how many cookies I’ve reached for in a sitting. With these, you get three for 100 calories or less per pack and it’s really all you need. Not to mention, I feel totally in control of my diet which, let’s face it, is always a good feeling!
Real Ingredients
When I first read the serving size was 3 cookies for 100 calories or less, I assumed they were full of tons of chemicals and additives.
Wrong!
I don’t know how they do it over at Nonni’s, but they manage to make these low-cal delights using a combination of premium ingredients including real, dark chocolate made with 55% cacao, Sri Lankan coconut and whole almonds.. Being able to count the number of ingredients and pronounce them all should be something we strive for when it comes to our diets and these Chocolate Chip Artisan Thin Cookies definitely deliver
Tradition and Flavor First
Call me a foodie nerd, but I happen to like when what I’m eating has a story! For some reason, it just makes the food taste better.
Well, Nonni’s has a great one! Although the company was founded in 1988, the start of their goodies dates back almost 100 years ago, in the little town of Lucca, Italy. Nonni (Italian for Grandmother) baked delicious cookies using only the ingredients that she could gather from markets within her town. When she came to America, she brought her passion for baking, her true to herself recipes, and the knowledge that good ingredients make all the difference.
Nonni’s pride themselves in upholding her traditions and stand by the mantra “Live Real, Eat Real” which, I think is something we should remind ourselves to do more often.
Sweet Tooth Without The Guilt
Most obviously, the reason these should be your “go-to” snack is that they’re AMAZING. If you’re anything like me, when 3:00 pm rolls around you’re craving something sweet, these are the answer. They really do make me feel like I’m treating myself and with the wholesome ingredients and low calories, no part of me feels like I’ve ruined or set back any progress.
Honestly, what better feeling is that?
You don’t have to take my word for it, you can try Nonni’s Chocolate Chip Artisan Thin Cookies for yourselves, but I guarantee once you try them you’ll keep them at arm’s reach at all times.
Love always,
