Biscuits and tea are an emotional affair, and I am not even exaggerating. Most of us, at some point or the other in our lives, have found solace in this combination. Whether it's the one thing you need to kick start every morning or a warm company you want when it's pouring outside. You may be a fan of any variant of chai - masala, kadak, ginger or even English tea for that matter, the experience is instantly elevated when it's accompanied by biscuits and cookies. If the first word to come to your mind right now is Britannia (every 90's kid gets nostalgic when it comes to Milk Bikis, Marie Gold, Jim Jam or Nice Time), here's a curated pick of biscuits and cookies on LBB that are not only healthy alternatives to the otherwise-maida kneaded biscuits, but also a fitting tribute to the legendary chai. And if you're a coffee person, we have you covered for that too (these will give you the perfect caffeine kick); thank us later.
Chai Time Means Britannia? We Are Lovin' These Healthy Cookies & Biscuits Too!
Like Good Day, These Are Rich With Butter & Nuts
Remember the nutty butter-y goodness of Good Day cookies? Whether you dip these in tea and then take a bite or you take a bite and then sip tea, either way the result is mouth-melting sweetness. While Good Day is available in flavours like Cashew, Butter, Pista Badam and more, these French Butter Vanilla Cookies from Baked With Love By Sristi will be the perfect addition to your high tea party. Just like Good Day but with a healthy twist are these Almond Bran Cookies, these Gluten-free Butter Cookies, Open Secret's White Choco Cashew Nutty Cookies (loaded with nuts!), and if you fancy vegan stuff, then try these Vegan Cinnamon Cookies which is not only refined-flour free but also refined-sugar free.
Like Jim Jam, These Are Stuffed With Delish Relish!
Britannia's Jim Jam Cream Biscuits were my go-to sweet treats at any point of the day, not just tea time. Crispy biscuits complimenting the sweet cream and that dollop of sparkling jam in the center. But while these are a big part of nostalgia, we found you healthy alternatives that you must try. These Raspberry Jam Cookies From Mo's Bakery are delicious, vegan, a treat for both children and adults and just the right bite size to snack on without over-indulging. It def remind us of the OG Jim Jam! Another vegan option is this pack of Almond Flaxseed Jam Cookies. And when you want to indulge in non-healthy and super yummy kind of jammy treat, these Jam Cookies from Sugar & Spice will fulfill your cheat day cravings.
Like NutriChoice, These Are Wholesome, Tasty & Healthy
Every time you have tried to start eating healthy, I'm sure the first step in your transition was to pick a healthy pack of NutriChoice biscuits. At least I have, since they claim to be fibre-rich and nutritious. But if you are looking for something that ticks your box of healthy biscuit binge-ing, check out this Multi Grain Cookies Jar from The Date House which is made of multigrain flour, almonds, milk, and more. Whether you're looking for a post workout snack or a mid-work break snack, try these Multiseed Oat Cookies, Ultra Low Carbohydrate Keto Jeera Biscuits or these Desi Ghee Atta Biscuits.
Like Nice Time, We Are Digging These Coconut-y Flavours
If you're someone like me who doesn't like anything too sweet with chai, the rectangular, coconut flavoured and sprinkled with sugar Nice Time biscuits, have surely been your go-to. Since we are all about healthy alternatives, we found these Low Carb Coconut Biscuits from Lo! Foods that will be the right healthy snack to go with your evening tea. And if you want something even healthier, the Ketofy Coconut Cookies from Wellversed legit have 1g net carb per serving!
Like Bourbon, Pure Magic & Deuce, These Are Choco Laden
From not too sweet to literally jumping into chocolate heaven, bourbon is the OG that made chocolate biscuits a real deal for us. With time came Pure Magic and Deuce, and well anything with the word chocolate got us going gaga. So be it choco-chips, chocolate cream or just chocolate combined with something healthy (oats, millets, jaggery, et al), these are perfect replacements for when you crave some chocolate overdose. These Choco Chip Cookies from Mad Batter by Tanvi are amazeballs! So are these Chocolate and Oats Cookies. And for super healthy alternatives, we are munching on these Millet & Chip Cookies (both gluten-free and vegan) and these Vegan Chocolate Chip Jaggery Cookies.
Pro-Tip:
Reading this reminds you of a tea-lover in your life? Gift them these artisanal tea-brands that they won't stop sipping. If you are that person yourself, maybe gift yourself these too?! And as we munch on these guilt-free snacks from healthy brands, we can only imagine how it will make your tea time 5x fun too.
