We all love a sweet treat. If you’re saying you don’t, I just don’t believe you—sorry. But good news fellow sweet-treat lovers, a new cookie has been born! One that will leave you sweetly satisfied while still feeling wholesome. A cookie that will actually give your body some good. Meet Goji Gourmet—the delicious nutritious goji-licious delight of a cookie.

Goji Gourmet cookies get their pizzazz from Goji berries. These red-orange berries are small, but they possess a powerful potion of antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and B-complex, iron, beta-carotene, minerals, and even amino acids! Pretty dazzling for a berry, if I do say so myself! Goji berries come from a shrub, native to China, and have been eaten for generations in Asia to live longer, improve sexual function, protect the liver, cure cancer—you name it, goji berries were thought to cure it.

Superfood Goodness

Regardless of these claims, one thing is for certain—the goji berry is a superfood that Goji Gourmet cookies does right. Goji Gourmet uses organic goji berries from the Himalayan mountains and complements their tart taste with taste-bud dancing flavors, such as orange mintchip, cherry cacao, almond oat, chocolate chip, and ginger walnut. All of these pairings are also health-promoting superfoods, so really, you can’t go wrong.

The goji goodness also stems from their ingredients. Any product can tout that it’s natural, packed with antioxidants, full of vitamins, and yadda, yadda … but, if the nutrition panel doesn’t back up their health claims—I just ain’t buying it and neither should you! Fortunately, Goji Gourmet’s ingredients are superb and so are their nutrition facts.

Fabulous Nutrition Facts

The first ingredients on all products are organic white whole wheat flour and organic goji berries, followed by 100% real natural ingredients that are mostly organic with no preservatives. For example, the ingredients in the scrumptious Goji Almond Oat: organic white whole wheat flour, organic goji berries, organic oats, natural buckwheat honey, natural almonds, organic butter, raw turbinado sugar, organic egg, raw wheat germ, pure almond extract (alcohol, natural oil of bitter almond, water), organic vanilla extract, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, turmeric.

Furthermore, four cookies are only 100 calories, 6 grams of sugar and fill you with 2 grams of fiber, allowing you to easily stay within your calorie budget while filling that sweet treat need!
