Once a year, diabetic individuals face the challenging task of navigating the holidays, as the festive season brings an abundance of sweets that require careful consideration and moderation to manage their health effectively—and Empowered Cookie is lending a helping hand with its two new diabetic-friendly cookies. The brand's two festively flavored varieties, Pumpkin Chai Ginger Molasses and Peppermint Double Chocolate Chunk, are thick, soft-baked cookies that are low-carb, high in fiber, dairy-free and blood sugar-balancing.
These chewy cookies share seven grams of plant-based protein and they swap traditional flour for almond flour and ground flax seeds so that they keep the textural elements of cookies that people love, all the while offering protein and fiber. Additionally, these cookies get their sweetness from coconut nectar in place of refined sugar.
