First, there were humble biscuits, then came cookies and over a period of time all that yumminess oozed over into hundreds of new flavors, variants, fillings, and toppings. Another undeniable trend in the snack industry is to create healthier versions of eatables. Baked chips, fiber-rich cookies, diet namkeen, to name a few. Oats cookies are an excellent example of this. Oats are known to be a storehouse of health benefits, and making healthy cookies with oats would mean combining the best of both worlds. We picked the two best-selling Oats cookies in the market to find out the healthier one. This is a face-off is between Sunfeast Farmlite Oats Fibre and Britannia Nutri Choice Oat Cookies.

Here’s Why Nutri Choice Essentials Is Mishry’s TOP PICK:
Let’s first talk about the taste: We found Britannia Nutri Choice Oats Cookies to be better-tasting than its contender (Sunfeast Farmlite Oats Cookies). Honestly, we hoped it would taste better, but this is a category where health trumps taste. This is not to say that Britannia Nutri Choice Oats Cookies taste bad, but let’s just say there are tastier cookies out there. Of course, those may not be as healthy. You can see pieces of almonds on the surface, and these little bits add a nice crunch. The cookies are thicker and less crumbly than digestive biscuits. There is adequate crunch and bite in them.
Nutrition Quotient: Britannia Nutri Choice Oats Cookies have lower sugar content and are diabetic-friendly. It has no added sugar, and contains artificial sweetener, as a matter of fact. At 9.6gms per 100gms, Britannia Nutri Choice Oats Cookies have a higher fiber content as compared to Sunfeast Farmlite, which contains 6.7g of dietary fiber per 100gms. Fiber plays an important role in our diet; a snack rich in fiber is a prerequisite for diabetes management, as it prevents a sudden spike in blood sugar levels. High-fiber foods typically have low Glycemic Indices, meaning the release of energy is also gradual. It would also keep you feeling full for longer.
