How is this cookie different from an ordinary one, and why does it contain protein? — Biscuit Cookie "Forest Raspberry Biscuit" Chikalab, 50 g - Bombbar

An ordinary cookie is built on flour, sugar and fat — fast-acting carbohydrates that give energy but do not keep you full for long. In CHIKALAB Biskviitküpsised the base is milk proteins: they are digested more slowly than simple carbohydrates, so the feeling of fullness after such a snack lasts longer.

Instead of sugar, erythritol and sucralose are used here — sweeteners that provide a sweet taste but do not add simple carbohydrates to the portion. This makes the product more suitable for those who watch the amount of sugar in their diet without giving up the dessert format.

In addition, the ingredients include dietary fibre, including chicory inulin — a soluble fibre that adds bulk and has a gentle effect on digestion and the gut microflora. Classic cookies usually do not contain such an ingredient.

It is important to understand that this is still a sweet snack, not a replacement for a proper meal. One serving (50 g) contains 15 g of protein, so it is a convenient protein snack rather than the main source of protein in the diet. The cookie is handy as an addition to the diet when you want something sweet but with a more balanced composition than standard baked goods.
