Great River Organic Milling (Cont'd. from p. 1) Thankfully, today there are new – and great tasting – options for consumers to enjoy that incorporate protein in meals, beverages and snacks. One of the newest options comes in the form of a delicious protein cookie that's good just about any time of day – for break- fast, post-workout, as a snack or a dessert you can actually feel good about eating. Whey 2 Be! cookies pack 16 to 18 grams of protein into a delicious gourmet cookie and are available in five flavors to satisfy every- one's taste buds: Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip, Cran-Or- ange White Chocolate and Peanut Butter. As anyone might guess from the name, the pro- tein comes from whey – one of the most pop- ular and nutritionally superior forms of protein. "Whey protein is one of the most highly bio-available types of protein, meaning it is easily absorbed and utilized by the body," says Peggy O'Shea Kochenbach RDN, LDN. "If you're looking to boost your pro- tein intake, whey protein is an excellent op- tion." Protein cookies aren't entirely new to the market – there are certainly others out there. However, most do not feature the nutrient powerhouse whey protein, which in studies has been associated with a myriad of health benefits, including better mood, healthier im- mune system and even cancer-fighting prop- erties. In addition, high protein content can translate into a cookie with a dry consistency and less than ideal taste. Whey 2 Be! is dif- ferent. Not only does it feature high-quality whey protein, but it is truly a gourmet cookie with a smooth texture and absolutely deli- cious flavor. Whey 2 Be! cookies are a snack anyone can feel good about and actually enjoy eating. Whey 2 Be! cookies are made with all- natural ingredients and are certified non- GMO. They are available in 3.25-ounce grab-and-go packages and will be hitting retail shelves in the spring of 2017. They are perfect for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, those with an active lifestyle, busy moms, college students and even kids' lunch boxes. Yes, getting more protein seems to be a top priority for many consumers, and Whey 2 Be! cookies should be a priority for anyone looking for a sweet way to boost protein intake.
