Most would expect capping off the night with a couple cookies would throw a low carb diet out the window and result in a nasty spike in sugar. Luckily the Brooklyn based cookie company Fat Snax is whisking up low carb / keto friendly batters, throwing them in the oven, and shipping them to our homes and stores near us :)
I found out about Fat Snax through their funny memes on their instagram and they offered to send me samples of their four yummy keto cookie flavors. Keto or not keto who would turn down free (and guilt free) cookies that are only 1-2 net carbs each? After the package sent I hassled my doormen everyday, skeptical they'd see the Fat Snax label and chow down on the goodies themselves (jk).
After my two 12-packs of cookies arrived, I tried the flavor I'd been missing on low carb -> peanut butter. After dipping one into some almond milk and taking a bite I needed to know what sorcery Fat Snax used to create such a perfect chewy texture and deliciousness. Unlike many other "healthy" cookie brands on the market, Fat Snax doesn't include those weird ingredients we can't pronounce in their products. The batters are so simple and pure you could technically make these at home, but who has time for that?
Main Ingredients:
- eggs
- sea salt
- almond flour
- coconut flour
- butter
- stevia and erythritol -> 2 of the best keto-friendly sweeteners with 0 effect on blood sugar
- 8-9 grams of fat
SEE ^. GUILT FREE. I also love that they are pretty low-protein and over 75% of the calorie percentage in each cookie is from fat, proving that the company understands the importance of macro ratios on a low carb diet. I decided to compare these to a few of the other cookies I've noticed have similar flavors as Fat Snax and was shocked to find out their carboloads.
UM WHAT THE HECK. Don't be fooled by the gluten-free, dairy-free labels my friends. Fat Snax allows us to take both our taste buds and nutrition goals into consideration while snackin.
