Almondina Biscuits - The Healthy Guilt-Free Gourmet Cookie

Almondina - The Gourmet Cookie without the Guilt
 

Snacks are a big deal in my house. My daughters are ages 6 and 7 and are always on the go! Running in and out of the house, through the neighborhood, playing and simply being kids. All that playing can wear a kid out and what better to boost your energy than with food! Other than Lunch and Supper, I try not to make my girls food that's going to upset their tummies if they decide they want to go play some more right after their finished eating. Snack food ends up being our main go to area during these moments in the day. After a while, I've realized that most of the snacks that my kids eat are full of sugar and don't do much good for them except tame their hunger a bit and give them a 20 minutes "Sugar High" which makes the girls crash once all that sugar wears off... that's never a good thing!

So when I received an email from an Almondina contact asking if I would be interested in trying out a sample pack of their biscuit cookies, in return for my thoughts and opinions, I wasn't about to say no and miss the chance to possibly discover a new delicious snack for my little girls. So, I quickly agreed and begin to wait for the package to arrive at my door. In less that 2 weeks, I was holding a box containing lots of Almondina Cookies in a variety of flavors!

In the box, I received the following flavors:

Choconut

• Almondina Original
• Choconut
• Cinnaroma
• Sesame
• Chocolate Cherry
• GingerSpice

Some of the other flavor options available are:

• AlmonDuo
• AnniversaryT
• BranTreats - Cookies For Breakfast
• Seasonal Pumpkin Spice (Seasonal)
• Chocolate Dipped Original
• Delights
• Yougurt Dipped-Brantreats

We received one tray per flavor except for the original which we got 2 trays of. Before I had a chance to look at all the flavors, Loran and Jade had already started snatching up a couple cookie trays and were on their way outside to try out their new snack!

- What are Almondina Cookies? -

Let me explain...

-- Almondina is an all-natural, crispy almond cookie that has no cholesterol, no added fat or salt or preservatives and has only 30 calories!

Original Flavor

-- Once a world renown musical conductor, Yuval Zaliouk has been the owner of Almondina for the past 20 years, with his company based in Ohio.

-- Zaliouk's Almondina Cookies are created with love using the a special recipe that originally came from his Grandmother Dina.
-- These cookies are now sold in all 50 States as well as in several foreign countries too.
-- Almondina is All Natural, Healthful, Versatile, Crunchy, Addictive and come in Several different flavors!

Since my girls had already grabbed a pack of cookies a piece, I headed their way to steal a taste for myself. Loran had the Choconut while Jade was eating the Original flavor.  I had the girls give me a cookie from each pack and I since I'd never ate anything like Almondina biscuits before, I wasn't sure what to expect. Was is going to taste like hard bread? Since it's name has the word Almond in it, Were the cookies going to have a strong nutty taste? I wasn't sure, until I took a bite....
To my surprise, both flavors tasted great. Their sweet, crunchy and taste nothing like bread. Between Choconut and Original - My favorite was the Choconut, Jade was convinced that they tasted like coffee but I believe her 6yr old taste-buds were playing tricks on her since everyone else was loving the chocolaty taste. My fiance was at work when the Almondina Cookies arrived but he has just as much as a snack addiction as our girls do, so I knew he would be trying them out soon. 

Throughout the next couple days, I personally, ended up trying 4 out of the 6 cookie flavors that we received. The Cinnaroma and GingerSpice cookies disappeared -- My daughters ate the whole tray of both packs without me knowing so I missed out on those but since Loran and Jade ate every last Cinnaroma and GingerSpice cookie, they had to of tasted pretty great or I would of found the cookies later, just sitting alone wherever the girls were when they decided they didn't like them... All I found was empty packs laying on their bed, not even a crumb! When it came to the Almondina Sesame and Chocolate Cherry cookies - The unique flavor of the Sesame, quickly hooked Jade and I, they're definitely both of our favorites! I wasn't sure how the Sesame flavor - added to a crunchy, bread-like surface - could taste any where near sweet enough to be labeled a cookie. Who doesn't think of a Sesame Seed bun when you see the word Sesame? Once I took my first bite of the Sesame Cookie, the exotic flavor with a touch of sweetness over took my mouth and I swear that I felt my taste-buds do a little dance! Jade has been eating on the Sesame Cookies for a few days now, I've come to realize that she may be stretching the last few out to reach more than just one day, she's a silly but smart little girl so I believe she may be on to something good!
My daughters aka "The Dancing Diva's", made their own video reviews of how they felt about Almondina Cookies. Jade and Loran's video's are below:

Jade

Loran

Once Alan was finally able to try the Almondina cookies he headed for the Chocolate Cherry! I had already ate a couple of them as well as giving a few cookies to a friend who wanted a taste. The chocolaty flavor was mixed with not only the real cherry taste but I'm pretty sure I saw and tasted big chunks of REAL cherries as well!! They were "out-of-this-world" delicious!! Where else can you find a chocolate crunch and a real cherry squish in one cookie? (I'm not talking about the fake fruity squish, these were REAL Fresh cherry squish bits!) Before I realized it, Alan had eaten the rest of the Chocolate Cherry cookies in a matter in minutes! His response when I asked him what he thought, was..... "Those were bangin'!" Translation -- "Those were awesome!" Which surprised me since he was eating the Chocolate ones, Alan don't eat alot of food with chocolate flavoring because he says it's too sweet, but apparently the Almondina Chocolate Cherry Biscuit Cookies had just the right about of chocolate that the sweetness didn't take over and it didn't hurt one bit that my fiance just happens to loves cherries!
--The Almonds were visible in every cookie but the taste never overpowered the other flavors, which made me extremely happy! I couldn't of chosen a better healthy cookie to give to my little girls. Not only are they super delicious but the health factors truly blow my mind!

Almondina Biscuit Cookies are:

• All Natural
• Free of Cholesterol, Coloring and Preservatives 
• Kosher and Pareve (no dairy)
• No added Fat or Salt
• Perfect side to pair with Tea, Coffee or even a glass of wine
• Can be used as a Cracker with Cream Cheese, Chocolate Spreads, etc
• Crumbled as an Ice Cream Topping!
• Milk and Cookies for the kids!
• Would also make a wonderful little breakfast on the go!

The Bart's Cookies Giveaway

Who doesn't love yummy delicious cookies?!

I haven't tried this brand of cookies yet but I'm looking forward to seeing how they taste! I'm glad The Momma And Boys enjoyed their batch! Read below to see what flavors they tried and now you can win your own Bart's cookies!!

This review/giveaway is hosted by The Momma And Boys

Bart's cookies has been making the World's best chocolate chip cookies for more then 20 years.  Bart moved off to college in 1988 and no longer had his moms cooking.  Since his mom was not around to cook for him he needed to start making his own food and decided to bake cookies!  His cookies ended up being a big hit that he started selling them to people around the college he was at. 

My family and I decided to review the chocolate chip cookies and white chocolate chip and macadamia nut cookies.  My husband is a huge macadamia nut cookie fan and when he tried this he was in love.  He sat down and ate them all in one sitting and that is not like him at all!

The chocolate chip cookies my children tried after dinner.  They were in love as well and was asking when they can have more.  I tried one as well and they were delicious.  This had to be one of the best cookies we have tried.  They are all so soft and just melts right in your mouth.

Sweet Andy's Cookies Giveaway *EXPIRED*

Sweet Andy's Cookies Giveaway and Review!

My fiance and I just love cookies. Chocolate chip, macadamia nut, oatmeal raisin - you name it, we adore them. That's why when I had the chance to review Sweet Andy's Cookies, I just couldn't say yes fast enough!

Sweet Andy's Cookies were founded by a former Wall Street financier who left his job to pursue a job that was more fulfilling! When times were tough he began to thank friends and family in his community for helping him out with these decadent cookies! Everybody loved his cookies so much that he decided to launch his own business, Sweet Andy's Cookies.

Sweet Andy's cookies are made with all natural ingredients. That is my absolute favorite thing about these cookies. So many snack companies now a days use so many artificial ingredients which I just hate giving to my family. These cookies are a perfect way to achieve a great tasty treat without those non-wanted additives.

Another thing I love about these cookies is how incredibly big and thick they are! Unlike the cookies that I make here at home, these cookies are huge! Just one of these cookies is bigger than the palm of my hand! And thicker too! They also are very soft and moist, unlike most of the store-bought cookies we buy. Instead of munching on 4 or 5 hard, store-bought cookies, my fiance and I grab one Sweet Andy's Cookies and a tall glass of milk and we are set!

We had the chance to review the chocolate, chocolate chip, triple chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip, and oatmeal raisin flavors. While all of these cookies were delicious, chocolate chip of course was my number one! My least favorite would have to be the chocolate flavor. To me, it has just a bit too much salt. Other than that, all of the other cookies were a big hit in my household!

If you are looking for a delicious and decadent Valentine's Day treat to give to your loved one, Sweet Andy's Cookies are definitely the way to go!

Can't wait til Valentine's Day to buy these tasty sweets? Win them here! That's right, Sweet Andy's Cookies is letting one of our readers win a Sweet Andy's Cookies Gift Box ARV $36.00! Enter using the Rafflecopter below!
