Have you tried one of Big Sky’s Oatmeal Raisin Cookies? This sweet, baked good is a hidden gem, and if you start to read more you’ll realize there’s quite a bit of health benefits too.
Yes, eating a cookie is still not as nutritious as eating something unprocessed such as a fruit or veggies, but when it comes to choosing between desserts, the oatmeal raisin cookie proves to be on the healthier side.
Big Sky Oatmeal Raisin cookies contain whole grain oats and Montana wheat flour which make up a large part of the fiber concentration in the cookie. According to Healthy Eating, whole-grain flour contains six times more fiber than your average white flour- WOW. Their site notes, that this is the difference of a gram or two of fiber per serving versus only trace amounts.
The oatmeal raisin cookie contains complex carbohydrates, which LiveStrong explains provides a “slow-burning” energy. This type of carbohydrate can play a role in keeping you full for a longer period of time and prevent spikes in blood sugar levels. Don’t forget about the raisins- this fruit is also known for boosting one’s immune system.
So there you have it, just another great reason to try our Big Sky Oatmeal Raisin Cookie (if you're not already addicted, that is). Place your order here and prepare to enjoy.
