Simple Mills Crunchy Chocolate Chip Almond Flour Cookies — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Simple Mills Crunchy Chocolate Chip Almond Flour Cookies by Simple mills TREAT — score 50/90.
A genuinely clean-label cookie built on almond flour, real chocolate, and coconut oil, with no grains or artificial anything. But it is still a cookie: two sugars (cane sugar in the chips plus coconut sugar) push it to about 24g sugar per 100g. Simple, recognizable ingredients, best treated as the dessert it is.
Why this verdict
- Whole-food base of almond, coconut, and flaxseed flour with real chocolate
- No grains, no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives; freshness comes from rosemary extract
- Two distinct sweeteners stacked: cane sugar in the chips plus organic coconut sugar
- Sugar-heavy at roughly 24g per 100g, squarely an indulgence not a health food
- Indulgent but simple ingredients place it in TREAT, not a lab-engineered snack
