One Cookie is equal to how many cantalopes?

Let's take a look at the vegan cookies on the market today. There are so many to choose from, such as:

Alternative Baking Company
Annies
Fabes
Nana Vegan Cookies
Michelle’s Vegan Cookies
The No Cookie Cookie
Eat Pastry (which is cookie dough)
And More.

I took a look at all of the chocolate chip cookies from all the companies and from looking at the calories, fat, carbohydrates, sodium and ingredients I came up with two clear winners. One winner is the unhealthiest cookie and the other is the healthiest. So who wins what?

The Alternative Baking Company's Colossal Chocolate Chip cookie is the unhealthiest on the market. Just one of their cookies is equal to 12 peaches in calories alone! Now ask yourself what's more filling the cookie or 12 peaches? The amount of fat in the one cookie is more than what is in a medium avocado; and the sodium in this cookie is equal to 3.8 cantaloupes. WOW! I know if you have one in your hand you just put it down right.

Now if you want to treat yourself to a cookie, which we all like to do, the winner for the healthiest cookie goes to Eat Pastry cookie dough. Its ingredients are cleaner, you can make two small cookies or one large, it has a refrigerator life of six months and you can reuse the container (Love that!).

So now some may be saying "Well if I'm eating a cookie I'm not thinking about the healthier choice." Well let me put it to you another way. If you had one cookie a week and choose Eat Pastry over Alternative Baking Company at the end of the month you will have saved 1,440 calories, 52 grams of fat (which is more than one daily intake needs), 232 grams of carbohydrates and 1,400 mg of sodium (which is equal to 3 days of your sodium intake needs and the amount of sodium in 1400 bananas). Plus at the end of the year that's 5 pounds lost just by simply switching.

So the next time you are in your local natural market and your reaching for a cookie go to the refrigerated section and reach for a container of Eat Pastry cookie dough instead. You'll be treating yourself not only to the healthiest cookie on the market but also the best tasting.
