Goji Gourmet Goji Chocolate Chip and Goji Almond Oat Cookies

Author: Healthnuttxo

Goji Gourmet makes cookies that use… GOJI BERRIES! How cool is that! According to the package, “Goji berries are nutrient-rich fruits that are HIGH IN ANTIOXIDANTS and provide vitamins A, C, and B-complex. Among other benefits, goji berries are rich in iron, beta-carotene, selenium, geranium, and include 18 amino acids”. I never had a Goji Berry before eating these cookies,( and although I am stil unsure where exactly to find them at the supermarket!), I would like to eat them again!

Taken from the website, here is some interesting tidbits about these cookies.

“-No preservatives
-All-natural
-No refined sugar added
-High in antioxidants
-Delicious
-Low calorie
-Handmade
-Infused with Superfoods
-Energizing
-Great for kids
-Mostly organic ingredients ”

Cool! Well the folks over at Goji Gourmet sent me some of these cookies, including the Chocolate Chip and Almond Oat varieties. The first thing I noticed about these cookies was the size. They are rather small, about the size of a quarter in length, but much bigger in height. They almost are about the size of cotton balls! I actually thought they were quite adorable for cookies! : )

Chocolate Chip- first of all, these smell sooo yummy, just like homemade chocolate chip cookies, with a hint of a fruity smell! The goji berry pieces are quite large, and sort of resemble dried cranberries. The texture is a bit gritty, but in a good way, and also “soft and chewy”, just like the front of the package says. It was actually quite a bizarre taste- sort of a cross between an oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookie. The goji berries had an unexpected sweetness, sort of like a raisin in an oatmeal raisin cookie, but the cookie still had a rather rich and buttery taste, like a chocolate chip cookie. I actually really enjoyed it, and it was quite sweet, too! 4 stars

Goji Almond Oat- I noticed that these cookies had more height and more goji berries than the Goji Chocolate Chip flavor, but were still delicious. They were sweet, and almost had a brown sugar and vanilla taste to them. The almond flavor was actually really delicious- just the right amount, and they also added a little bit of crunch as well. I found these sweeter than the Goji Chocolate Chip, and actually liked them better. 4 1/2 stars

Overall, I really enjoyed these! I like that a serving ( 2 cookies ) is only 50 calories, and also provides 1 gram of fiber. I also love that they are quite unlike any other type of cookie I have eaten before. They are made with really good ingredients, and well, are just plain good! : )

*Have YOU ever had goji berries before? How do you eat them? (And where do you buy them?) If you’d like to answer, please leave a comment below! : )

Cherrybrook Kitchen Arthur Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix

Author: Healthnuttxo

Time for me to bake, er, bake and review, some cookies! : )

Another box of baking mix I recieved (please see previous post) for free was the Cherrybrook Kitchen Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix. This mix, according to the front of the box, was vegan, dairy free, egg free, and nut/peanut free! What I also enjoyed was the front of the box had Arthur on it- one of those cartoons I remember watching as a kid! I could just feel this was going to be one of those nostalgic baking experiences!

So, I took out 1/2 cup of butter, 1/4 cup of water, and the mix, and put it in a bowl. I started to mix with a spoon and smelled the delicious chocolate aroma- ooh, I was getting HUNGRY! I  saw there was a lot of chocolate chips, that were rather large too, and was impressed!

As I was mixing, I did notice it was a bit crumbly and dry, so I decided to add a little more water as I was having difficulty stirring it. Then, I decided to just mix by hand, which was convenient since the next step was to roll these cookies into small balls.

After baking, I saw that these cookies did not spread out as I had expected them too- they rather “puffed up”. Normally when I bake cookies, I space them far apart expecting them to expand in a circle. With these, they expanded a little, but mostly rose up.

But, that didn’t affect the taste! They sure were good- buttery rich tasting and sweet but not too sweet. Since there was a lot of chocolate chips, they also had a good chocolatey flavor. They also became crispy and crunchy cookies, rather than super soft cookies. I do prefer soft chocolate chip cookies over crunchy or hard, but these were still enjoyable. I can see myself eating these with a nice glass of milk! 4 stars

Have you ever watched Arthur? Or what was your favorite cartoon growing up? If you’d like to answer, please leave a comment below! :)

Ingredients in mix: Unbleached Flour (wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Evaporated Cane Juice, Granulated Brown Sugar, Non Dairy Chocolate Chips ( sugar, chocolate liquor, dextrose, cocoa butter (no dairy derivatives), soy lecithin, pure vanilla extract), All Natural Vanilla Flavor, Non-Alluminated Baking Powder, Sea Salt.

Penny’s Low Fat Desserts White Chocolate Cranberry Cookie

Author: Healthnuttxo

Penny’s Low Fat Desserts is a favorite here on HealthNuttxo. I haven’t met a product I haven’t liked- ranging from muffin tops, muffins and even no sugar added cookies! Another favorite of mine to add is now the White Chocolate Cranberry Cookie, which was sent to me to try from Penny.

At first glance, I was quite pleased. A decently sized cookie- and quite thick too. I tasted this cookie and was equally as happy. It had a fruity taste, which I would imagine is from the “dried plum puree” listed in the ingredients, but also reminded me of an oatmeal raisin cookie. However, instead of raisins, were sweet and not-to- tart cranberries. I was actually quite happy the cranberries were not tart, as I usually am not a fan of cranberries for that reason. Not the case here! They were sweet and just plain good!

Onto the best part of the cookie… the white chocolate chips. WOW! Soooo goood! Creamy and sweet, they added an unexpected and yummy twist to the cookie. They even had a slight crunch to them which was quite nice.

Overall, this cookie gets 4 1/2 stars. It is very sweet, with sugar being the first ingredient, but I really think it’s good, especially if a sweet tooth needs some satisfaction! I do like that this cookie has 7 grams of fiber per cookie- it’s a snack that has some satiety and can keep me full until dinner! :)

1 cookie is 150 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 39 carbohydrates, 7 grams of fiber, 21 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.

sugar, whole wheat flour, water, white chocolate chips (sugar, cocoa butter, whole milk powder, nonfat milk powder, soy lecithin, vanilla, natural flavor), dried cranberries, oats, dried plum puree, cellulose, erythritol, chicory root, corn syrup, rice syrup solids, natural flavors, palm oil, baking soda, salt, soy lecithin, xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum.

Mi-Del Cookies- Bite Size Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Gluten Free S’mores, & Maple Munchies

Author: Healthnuttxo

Cookie time! Cookie time! :)

Cookies are amazing. Chewy, soft, crunchy, chocolatey, sweet, buttery, there are all SORTS and kinds of cookies! What’s REALLY awesome, is when the cookies taste good, AND they are good for you. Which leads me too..

Mi-Del Cookies! This company makes a bunch of products, including the 3 that they generously sent me that I am going to review today. The lucky three today are the Bite Sized Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, the Gluten Free S’Mores cookies, and the Maple Munchies cookies. Let’s begin!

Bite Sized Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies- well, first off, I think bite sized is just tooo cute! These are tiny, about the size of a penny each, which means a serving size is  23 cookies (30 grams). That’s my kinda serving size! They are a light brown in color, with mini chocolate chips. I tasted a few, and I certainly could taste the oatmeal part of the cookie. It was slightly salty and buttery tasting, and really not too sweet. What was a tad disappointing was I didn’t really taste much of the chocolate part of the cookie. However, I think these would be good with a glass of ice, cold milk. 3 stars

Gluten Free S’mores- The package states these are “Chocolate Graham Cookies with Marshmallows”, and these come in 90 calories packs. I was actually impressed, because I got a decent amount of these cookies for 90 calories! Each cookie is a dark brown in color, with little white specks. They are about the size of a half- dollar, and actually quite thick. How’s the taste? ….
AWESOME! I really enjoyed these. They were crunchy and crispy, and a sweet chocolate cookie. The little marshmallow bits tasted like little bits of vanilla icing. Really tasty, and I really enjoyed the CRUNCH these provided. The only down side in my opinion was that they lacked fiber, and contained corn syrup solids. Otherwise, 4 1/2 stars!

Maple Munchies- the package describes these cookies as “Maple Shortbread Cookies”, and these come in a 100 calorie pack.  Now, I’m a big fan of maple, so I was happy to try these. They are about the same size as the Gluten Free S’mores cookies, but not as hard or crunchy, and a much softer melt-in-your-mouth cookie. They did have a buttery, shortbread taste, with just a slight maple taste. I do wish they had more maple flavor, and were a just a bit sweeter, but they were still quite good. 4 stars

Overall, Mi-Del Cookies certainly do not disappoint! I highly reccomend trying at least the Gluten Free S’mores cookies, as those were very delicious. I think I might even dip them in some marshmallow fluff for some added enjoyment! :)

Bite-Sized Oatmeal Chocolate Chip- 23 cookies (30 grams) is 130 calories, 6 grams of fat, 18 carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 7 grams of sugar and 2 grams of protein.

Gluten Free S’mores- 1 pack (23 grams) is 90 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 17 carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 7 grams of sugar and 1 gram of protein.

Maple Munchies- 1 pack (23 grams) is 100 calories, 3.5 grams of fat, 14 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 4 grams of sugar and 2 grams of protein.

Betty Lou’s Johnny & Fred’s Soft Baked Chewpremes

Author: Healthnuttxo

Ah, yet another one of my favorite reviews… COOKIES! :)

Betty Lou’s is a company that makes a large assortment of foods, from granola bars to protein balls, and even cookies too! They make products that cater to the needs of many, such as products that are gluten free, dairy free, organic, etc.

The folks at Betty Lou’s were super generous and sent me some of their products, including 3 of their Johnny & Fred’s Chewpreme cookies. These cookies are 100 calories each, and come in 3 flavors, White Chocolate Brownie, Oatmeal Raisin, and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip.  They are your standard size cookie, at 1 oz each, they are not too big but not bite sized, and are made with all natural ingredients.

I tried the White Chocolate Brownie one first, as it looked the most exciting. It was a dark cookie with white chocolate chips throughout. I took a bite out of it, and, WOAH! This cookie is GOOD! It was FUDGY! Just like a brownie! Sweet and chewy, with a lovely chocolatey flavor. The white chocolate chips were so tasty, crispy and sweet like vanilla.  this one gets 4 1/2 stars and is my favorite of the 3 cookies.

Oatmeal Raisin- This one was also very good. Very moist and softer than the others, it tasted just like homemade. It was buttery, and very sweet, especially with the raisins, and had a light cinnamon flavor. There were also little pieces of walnuts that added a nice touch. Deeeeee-lish. 4 stars

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip- This one was the smallest in size of the three. It didn’t have a very strong peanut butter taste, and overall really tasted like a chocolate chip cookie with a slight “sweet” peanut butter taste. It sort of reminded me of when you buy a peanut butter flavored protein bar, how it has that “sweet” peanut butter taste. Otherwise, it was actually quite good! There was a good amount of sweet, milk chocolate flavored chips. I even put 1 half of the cookie in the microwave- yum yum yum! The chocolate chips melted and were all gooey, and it just really made the cookie. 4 stars

Overall, I really enjoyed these cookies. I can’t believe they are only 100 calories each, and have no trans fats or artificial ingredients/preservatives! I think they are great as a snack with a glass of milk, a yogurt, or some fruit, and are a great, natural way to add some sweetness to your day. I also like that they each have some fiber (2-3 grams per cookie), and actually are a decent sized. If you’re a cookie fan- I would give these a try! :)

1 cookie is 100 calories, 4 grams of fat, 17-18 carbohydrates, 2-3 grams of fiber, and 2-3 grams of protein.

White Chocolate Brownie- Organic Whole Grain Barley Flour, White Chocolate Chips (Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Nonfat Dry Milk, Milk Fat, Soy Lecithin, Vanilla), FruitrimR (Fruit Juices, Grain Dextrins), Brown Sugar, Safflower Oil, Cocoa Powder, Eggs, Inulin (dietary fiber), Natural Flavors, Baking Soda (leavening), Sea Salt, Mixed Tocopherols (Natural Vitamin E).

Midel Cookies

Author: Healthnuttxo

 

There’s nothing quite like a cookie. Some have cute designs, some are sweet, some are rich, some soft, chewy, etc. I think it’s hard not to have a favorite cookie!

What is hard, however, is finding cookies that are both tasty but don’t have things like preservatives, trans fats, artificial colors, flavors, etc. However, Midel Cookies make a large assortment of cookies that are all natural and still taste good. They make gluten free, organic, bite sized and more types of products, to fit the needs of a variety of people.

Midel Cookies were nice enough to send me a box of some of their goodies, and I decided to review about the Vanilla Snaps, Oatmeal Raisin Snaps, and the Organic Bite Sized Snickerdoodles.

Vanilla Snaps- these were quite delicious. They had a nice vanilla and buttery flavor, and I tried these with my cousin who agreed they tasted very similar to a sugar cookie. And,well,- these CERTAINLY live up to the “snap” part of the name! They are very crispy and crunchy, and overall a very hard cookie. However, they do have sort of an “off” texture with the crunch- as they are also a bit “sticky”. I mean “sticky” as in once you chew them, they kind of stay in your teeth and are a bit chewy. That’s the only drawback to this cookie- for taste, alone, I would definitely give it 4 1/2 stars, but the texture bring these down to a 3 1/2.

Oatmeal Raisin Snaps- yum!! These taste just like homemade oatmeal cookies, but crispy! These had a better texture than the vanilla ones, and were very sweet! You could taste the cane juice, but they also a nice buttery flavor, just like the vanilla ones. I tried these with my mom, who enjoyed them, but thought they needed more of a raisin flavor. I agree, and I also think they would be great with some milk. 4 stars

Organic Bite Sized Snickerdoodles- these are TOO CUTE! They are literally the size of buttons, and just perfect to eat one by one, or by the handful. When you open the bag, oddly enough, they smell like cinnamon graham crackers. But, they taste like sweet shortbread cookies, with a slight vanilla flavor. Very soft and almost a “bready”/crumbly texture. Or, almost like a biscuit-like cookie. Warning- these are totally addictive! Especially because they are small, you really could just keep eating these by the handful! These get 4 stars because they are a bit high in saturated fat, and have no fiber, but are still good!

Overall, these cookies are yummy. Quite addictive, and very tasty. Some drawbacks are that they are low in fiber, and a bit high in sugar. Yet, they are cookies, so I wasn’t really expecting low sugar counts and high fiber anyway. I would give them a try- you might like them! :)
Oatmeal Raisin Snaps- 5 cookies is 130 calories, 4.5 grams of fat, 21 carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 10 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.

Organic Unbleached Wheat Flour, Organic Dehydrated Cane Juice, Canola Oil, Organic Oatmeal, Raisin Paste, Organic Liquid Cane Syrup, Ground Cinnamon, Natural Vanilla Flavor, Natural Oatmeal Flavor, Sea Salt, Soy Lecithin (used as an emulsifier), Baking Soda.

Vanilla Snaps- 5 cookies is 130 calories, 4.5 grams of fat, 21 carbohydrates, 1 gram of fiber, 10 grams of sugar, and 1 gram of protein.

Organic Unbleached Wheat Flour, Organic Dehydrated Cane Juice, Canola Oil, Organic Liquid Cane Syrup, Natural Vanilla Flavor, Baking Soda, Sea Salt, Soy Lecithin (used as an emulsifier).

Organic Bite Sized Snickerdoodles- 23 cookies is 130 calories, 5 grams of fat, 19 carbohydrates, 0 gram of fiber, 7 grams of sugar, and 1 gram of protein.

Organic Enriched Wheat Flour (niacin, iron [reduced] thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Organic Dehydrated Cane Juice, Organic Palm Oil, Organic Rice Flour, Organic Cane Juice Syrup, Sea Salt, Organic Vanilla Extract, Organic Ground Cinnamon, Ammonium Bicarbonate, Soy Lecithin (used as an emulsifier).

Ener-G Ginger Cookies

Author: Healthnuttxo

Doing a double post tonight, seeing as I won’t be able to post a review tomorow. Aw, man!! :( But, anyway. Enjoy !!

I’m sure you guys have heard of Ener G . They make an assortment of foods that cater to the needs of those with special dietary needs. This includes breads, pretzels, cookies, etc. According to the website, “We not only offer wheat free, gluten free products, but also products for low protein diets and dairy free products. Additionally, all of our products are free of peanuts, tree nuts, and are also Kof-K Certified. Our bakery is dedicated to wheat free, gluten free baking, guaranteeing that contamination from gluten will not occur.”

That’s great- I love companies that try to make products that everyone can enjoy! :)

Anyway- Ener-G sent me some of their products to try, and of the ones I was sent, one of my favorites was the Ginger Cookies. I’m a fan of gingerbread cookies around Christmastime, and a good ginger snap is always tasty to me. So, I was happy to try these. These cookies in particular are gluten free, wheat free, egg free and dairy free.

These cookies certainly smell delicious, with a fresh ginger scent. They are crunchy and sweet, and have a light ginger flavor, which was actually quite nice. It wasn’t overpowering at all, or too spicy. They were sweet enough to keep eating right out of the package!  A light, yet flavorful cookie. Goes perfect with a cold glass of milk, or even by itself.

The best part about these cookies… only 50 calories each! Yea! They are only 1.5 grams of fat each, so they are low fat, low calorie, and yet still quite tasty. I give them 4 1/2 stars, because although they are delicious, they lack fiber, and the first ingredient is organic evaporated cane juice. However, gluten free products tend to be lower in fiber than non-gluten free, and they are cookies, so I think they are a delicious treat. Especially if you like ginger! :)

1 cookie is 50 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 9 carbohydrates, 4 grams of sugar, 0 grams of fiber, and 0 grams of protein.

Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, White Rice Flour,Potato Starch, Filtered Water, Organic Palm Fruit Oil, Unsulphured Molasses, Egg Replacer [ (tapioca flour, potato starch, leavening (calcium lactate, calcium carbonate, glucono delta lactone), sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose], Ginger Powder, Sodium Bicarbonate, Monocalcium Phosphate, Vanilla Powder [(vanilla bean extractives, dextrose (corn sugar)], Sodium Carbohymethylcellulose.

Nutridel Pecan and Almond Cookies

Author: Healthnuttxo

Nutridel is a great brand that makes all natural, delicious cookies. These “cookies” are different than your typical chocolate chip, or sugary treat. They are filled with yummy nuts, seeds and grains, and don’t contain any refined sugar!

I tried the Oatmeal and Flaxseed varieites of the Nutridel cookies once before, but the folks over at Nutridel also sent me the Almond and Pecan flavors to try. Well- let me tell you, I LOVE THESE TWO FLAVORS! Thanks a bunch for sending me them, Nutridel, because I am now officially HOOKED!

Each cookie is flat, crunchy and about the size of a CD. You can see bits and pieces of nuts or seeds in each cookie. They all contain fiber, antioxidants, and are free of eggs, dairy, preservatives and hydrogenated oils. Sounds like my kind of cookie ;)

Almond- a pleasant almond aroma, this one has actual big slivers of almond throughout the cookie. Absolutely delicious. The almond flavor is so nice, you can even detect the “almond essences” listed in the ingredient list. Lightly sweet, but still very enjoyable. 

Pecan- oh, wow, YUM! This is my favorite flavor. It has a buttery rich taste of pecans, with an almost fruity aftertaste. You can taste the light sweetness of the molasses as well. Satisfyingly crunchy and absolutely great.

Overall, I really love these 2 flavors. I give them 5 stars. Since I got my samples, I’ve already bought a few boxes of the Pecan and Almond flavors off of the website. Really, these cookies cannot be beat. Low sugar, high fiber, and made with whole wheat flour and all the good stuff! I like having these with yogurt, and I crumble them up on top of my “chocolate muffin/pudding sundae” for a nutritious boost and healthy crunch!

1 cookie is 59 calories, 1-2 grams of fat, 14 carbohydrates, 1.5-2 grams of fiber, 4 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.

Almond- Whole Wheat Flour, Wheat Bran, Amaranth, Almonds, Molasses, Sunflower Oil and Natural Almond Essences.

Pecan- Whole Wheat Flour, Wheat Bran, Amaranth, Pecans, Molasses, Sunflower Oil and Natural Pecan Essence.

Penny’s Low Fat Desserts Banana Bran Muffin

Author: Healthnuttxo

Ah, two of my favorite things, finally combined. Penny’s Low Fat Desserts, and Banana muffins. I’ve had some of Penny’s lovely desserts before- like her delicious muffin tops, and her chocolate truffle and cinnamon toffee cookies. So how on EARTH could I turn Penny down when she offered me to try her new Banana Bran muffin? (Obviously I couldn’t- then you wouldn’t be reading a review! ;) )

Penny sent me a few of her new, all natural, no sugar added Banana Bran Muffins. Each muffin is only 100 calories and is sweetened naturally with rebiana, or stevia. They are a pretty decent size, 3 ounces, not as big as those super-muffins you get at the deli, but a good sized muffin. I popped it in the microwave for 10 seconds or so since I put them in my fridge( and I reccommend you heat it up for a few seconds when you try it!!), and sat down to review. The smell was awesome-I just knew I was going to like these. I. LOVE. BANANA! :D

I took a bite, and was actually quite pleased. It’s “fudgy” in texture-soft, and fluffy. It’s actually sweeter than I imagined it to be, but still good. The banana flavor was good too- no fake banana flavor, but a real ” there are actual bananas, not just banana extracts in this muffin” flavor.  It also had a buttery flavor as well. In other words, this muffin was GOOD! I liked that you could see bits of banana actually thoughout the muffin. Yum!

One tip I have- spread peanut butter on this muffin! (taking into consideration you are not allergic to peanut butter. Please, do not do that then!!) Oh my, it was SO amazing with a smear of all natural peanut butter. I’m just mad that I didn’t think of spreading peanut butter on it until I was halfway done with the muffin (woops! ).

Overall, this muffin gets 4 1/2 stars. Good job, yet again, Penny! This muffin also has only three grams of sugar and six grams of fiber. Can’t be beat in my books ;)

1 muffin is 90 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 28 carbohydrates, 5 grams of fiber, 10 sugar alcohols, 2 sugars and 4 grams of protein.

water, wheat flour (wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), erythritol, pasteurized egg whites, wheat bran, bananas, milk, chicory root, cellulose, natural flavors, leavening (sodium acid pyrophosphate, cornstarch, sodium bicarbonate), rice syrup solids, salt, palm oil, soy lecithin, xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum, rebiana, soybean lecithin.
