Gourmet Treats recently launched its Vegan Breakfast Cookie to suit the needs of busy commuters and on-the-go snackers alike. As the brand describes, "this cookie is specifically designed for people who live a lifestyle where their schedule is often unpredictable, and is dictated by multiple priorities."
The plant-based cookies, available in Cranberry Almond, Banana Date Coconut and Peanut Butter Cocoa Nib varieties, are individually wrapped for grab-and-go convenience and help to provide a source of protein and energy in between meals.
As the new cookies are vegan-friendly, they are made without eggs and dairy. With a base of 100% whole grain wheat flour, oats and flax seeds, the Vegan Breakfast Cookies are a rich source of vitamins and Omega-3. Notably, the cookies are not sweetened with cane sugar, but with brown rice syrup and grape juice instead.
