Key Ingredients & Health Benefits

Organic!

We are super excited to announce that we have Gone Organic! Those that know me know that supporting companies doing their best to prevent pollution of our bodies and the planet is of utmost importance. It takes extra effort and cost to source these high-quality ingredients, but now most of our ingredients are organic because YOU are WORTH it! 

Legumes
Beans are nature’s unappreciated power food, and they’re literally the best source of cleansing fiber out there! Our cookies are based on legumes and your digestive system will be grateful when you replace your other sweets with ours. They are also high in plant-based protein, so this combo, along with our use of nuts/seeds is a dream for stabilizing your blood sugars while still enjoying a delicious treat!

Nuts/Seeds
Seeds and nuts are amazing sources of a wide array of alkalizing source of healthy fats, plant-based vitamins and minerals, along with providing protein and fiber.

Dates/Raisins
Our Goodies are naturally sweetened with fruit! While most treats contain refined sugars, we’re using whole fruit sweeteners so you’ll get a great source of an array of vitamins and minerals as well as fiber, to help balance blood sugar spikes that most treats can cause and is great for your gut health. Of course this natural sugar has an even lower glycemic index because it’s balanced by natural protein, fats and fiber from the other ingredients. Dried fruit is also tremendous for your digestive system and your bone health! 

Organic Cacao Powder
Containing high levels of antioxidants, the benefits of cacao when used in its raw state are abundant. Along with slowing down the aging process and balancing stress hormones, the naturally occurring plant chemicals can also help you feel more euphoric, alert and focused. 

Flaxseeds
Flax seeds are traditionally used as an egg replacement in vegan baking and are much healthier than the egg replacement products on the market. Full of protein and fiber we use flax seed meal in all of our Goodies. Also containing Omega-3- fatty acids which are the good fats beneficial for heart health.  They’re also a great source of lignans. These plant-based estrogens offer unique health benefits, potentially reducing the risk of breast and prostate cancer, improving bone health, and even alleviating menopausal symptoms. Lignans are best absorbed when ground. A true superfood.

Buckwheat
Full of plant-protein we use buckwheat groats in our raw snack Goodies (crackers and granola). A true, unsung superfood - buckwheat is very low in fat, gluten-free, a good source of protein and fiber, and rich in minerals and various plant compounds, especially rutin (which is great for eye health) As a result, buckwheat consumption is linked to several health benefits, including improved blood sugar control and heart health.

Acai

Brazilian grown Acai is abundant in Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) units. This is a measurement for antioxidants developed by the National Institutes of Health. These foods are more effective at neutralizing free radicals that cause aging and degenerative diseases such as cancer. Along with the other berries used in our Super Berry Planet Cookies, you get a whopping amount of antixidants in each bite! 

Organic Gluten-Free Oat Flour
Oats are a great source of soluble fiber which helps rid your body of cholesterol.  We have chosen a gluten-free flour to help those who are avoiding gluten in their diet.
