Cookies: Trader Joe's Speculoos CookiesThese Trader Joe's Speculoos Cookies are a treat, no doubt. Two cookies pack 180 calories, 9g fat (6g saturated, 30% DV), and 13g added sugars (26% DV). Benefit: - Iron (4% DV): A small amount of iron is a plus, but not a significant source. Concerns: - High in saturated fat: 6g per serving is high, contributing to 30% of your daily value. This can impact cholesterol levels. - Added sugars: 13g of added sugars is a lot for just two cookies. It's best to limit added sugar intake for overall health. - Palm oil: It appears multiple times in the ingredients. Palm oil production is linked to deforestation and habitat destruction. Plus, it's a source of saturated fat. Ingredients to note: The ingredients list is long and includes processed components like 'caramelized milk powder' and multiple forms of sugar. Also, rapeseed lecithin is an emulsifier, which is not ideal. Alternatives: If you're looking for a similar treat, consider making your own cookies at home with healthier fats (like coconut oil or avocado oil) and less sugar. Or, look for cookies with a shorter ingredient list and no palm oil. Pair with a glass of milk to slow sugar absorption.
