About Chips ahoy
Chips Ahoy is a brand of commercial chocolate chip cookies that originated in the United States in 1963 under Nabisco. These cookies are a staple of American snack culture and are widely recognized for their crunchy texture and sweet taste. Typically made from enriched wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oils, and chocolate chips, Chips Ahoy cookies are high in carbohydrates and added sugars while containing minimal amounts of protein, fiber, and vitamins. A single serving (about 33 grams or approximately 3 cookies) contains around 160 calories, 2 grams of protein, 8 grams of fats, and 11 grams of added sugars, making them a calorie-dense and nutrient-light snack option.
Health Benefits
