Protein Cookie Ingredient Breakdown:
Whey Protein
Whey Protein is derived from animal protein not plant protein. Whey contains high amounts of branched amino acids that help reduce the risk of diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity. These branched amino acids (BCAA’s) are used to fuel the muscles of the body stimulating protein synthesis. The result is a leaner more toned body when moderate to high amounts of protein are ingested through the day.
Whey Protein Benefits:
Whey Protein helps maintain a healthy body composition, fight off chronic disease and can help you improve your emotional health.
Whey Protein as part of a healthy diet can help aid in weight-loss efforts. Your body uses more energy to digest protein than other foods, which creates a thermogenic effect allowing you to burn calories at a higher rate.
Whey protein helps reduce glucose absorption time into the bloodstream to prevent hunger, according to the Whey Protein institute. Thus helping you fight the need to snack between meals.
Whey Protein slows down the production of cortisol, a stress hormone, to reduce stress and depression while releasing the calming hormone serotonin.
According to the Whey Protein Institute, whey protein can help to slow cancer growth in the body, prevent type 2 diabetes by controlling blood glucose levels and promote new skin growth to speed up wound healing.
* When heated over a long period of time and at high heat, whey protein will denature. We bake our protein cookies in a stone oven which distributes heat evenly, cutting back the amount of baking time and temperature needed to bake a perfect protein cookie that retains all its nutritional value.
Unbleached Unbromated Flour
When considering the health of our consumers we chose to use an Unbleached Unbromated Whole Wheat Flour. Unbleached Unbromated Flour is flour that has not been subject to bleach and potassium bromate baths.
Bleached Flour – is flour that is subjected to a chlorine gas bath which whitens the flour and reduces the gluten content, resulting in a finer grain. What makes this worse is that the chlorine once combined with the proteins of the flour produces Alloxan – a carcinogen. Although not yet proven in humans, when Alloxan was tested on lab rats it induced diabetes, destroying beta cells in the pancreas.
Bromated Flour – is flour treated with potassium bromate to improve elasticity in the dough allowing it to produce a higher rising bread. Potassium bromate is a potential carcinogen. Bromated Flour has been linked to thyroid dysfunction.
* Most baked goods are made with flour that contains these harmful chemicals. Make sure to read the labels of your breads and cookies before purchasing.
Stevia
Stevia has been proven to have compounds that are anti-hyperglycemic, anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-diarrheal, and diurectic. Stevia is safe for diabetics and people suffering from obesity and hypertension do to the negative effects on blood glucose and may even increase glucose tolerance. Stevia has Zero calories, Zero carbs and Zero glycemic Index.
72% Cocoa Powder
Cocoa is proven to offer extraordinary health benefits. Cocoa contains three flavonoids: Procyanidin,catechin, and epicatechin. These flavonoids help protect against disease like diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. When cocoa is processed with fat and sugar you lose all its health benefits. Therefore we use a cocoa powder that is 72% pure cocoa in all our dark cocoa cookie recipes.
