In the mood for something sweet and chewy? If so, you might have your sights set on a Starbucks cookie. Loaded with hunts of chocolate, this is definitely a can’t-resist treat for many, but before you indulge it’s a smart plan to know just what nutrition you’re taking in so that you can try and incorporate it into your diet plan.
Let’s have a look at what you need to know.
Major Nutrients Found In Starbucks Cookies
For most of the cookie options at Starbucks, you’ll be taking in between 360-380 calories. The Polar Bear Cookie comes in the highest at 420, while if you’re smart and are looking for a much lighter and more diet-appropriate item, you would choose the treat sized Double Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie, which offers just 130 or 160 calories respectively.
Unfortunately, as cookies are made primarily with sugar, flour, and eggs, you won’t be getting a whole lot of actual nutrition from any variety. You’ll get plenty of simple carbs coupled with saturated fat, but you won’t see any protein or vitamins.
For this reason, you would be very well advised to use this cookie as your cheat treat of the week and not include it in your regular diet plan.
Storing/Selecting
While you could purchase these cookies and keep them for later as they will last for up to a week, they will taste their most fresh if eaten immediately upon purchase.
Eat It With:
Cookies are classically enjoyed with a glass of milk or some creamy coffee beverage, however due to the calorie content you would be smarter to have it with a glass of water instead.
