Who Knew Cakes and Cookies Could Be Healthy Treats?

Do you enjoy desserts? How about cakes and cookies? Sure, you do. The problem is, most of the cakes and cookies you find in the grocery store are unhealthy – big shocker, right? What if I found a solution where cakes and cookies are actually healthy treats? I enjoy looking for various desserts that brands are producing that are healthy alternatives to their sugary and carb-filled counterparts. And I think I found two you’ll love.

Delicious Healthy Treats You Don’t Need to Feel Guilty Eating

The main thing people like to look at when brands claim that they have healthy treats is the protein content. For fitness-minded individuals, we want something that is going to work for us rather than against us. And protein plays a key role in our nutrition plan.

Sure, many of us would prefer a dessert that is low in carbohydrates, fat, and sugar, but ultimately, we can look past the fact that they contain a moderate amount so long as it has a decent amount of protein present and tastes good.

The downside of healthy treats is that they are generally much more expensive when compared to their unhealthy alternatives. This is due to the quality of ingredients used and the fact that most companies who make desserts and treats mass produce everything and load them with preservatives. Not to mention they are generally large companies that do millions of dollars every year selling various snack and dessert items.

So, who are these two companies that are making some healthy treats? One is The Dough Bar, who I’ve spoken about before, and the other is a brand called Catalina Snacks.

Cake or Death?

Comedian, Eddie Izzard, had a famous skit where he used the line, “Cake or Death” and it slides into this content nicely. So, which will you choose? Ok, I don’t want to harm people so the cake from The Dough Bar IS the only option (clearly, as I wouldn’t wish death on you).

As a side note, The Dough Bar also sells healthy treats in the form of donuts, cinnamon rolls, monkey bread, and whoopie pies. I haven’t heard a single complaint about any of them.
