Almondina Cookie Review & Giveaway

May 21, 2014 by Susan Bewley 45 Comments

Disclosure: I received these products for free to review. The opinions in my review are honest and my own.

 

Like many other coffee drinkers, I sometimes love to treat myself to a good dipping cookie. The problem with many of these cookies, however, is that they are filled with fat and are usually pretty high in the calorie department. With me trying to lose weight, I knew I had to find something that not only tasted amazing, but was a good reward when I wanted a sweet treat. As I was looking for the perfect cookie, I was approached by Almondina, who asked us to review their low calorie cookies. Curious, and loving a good almond-flavored cookie, I immediately said yes and couldn’t wait for them to arrive!

Almondina: What is It

Looking for a delicious treat that is free of guilt? If so, we think you will love Almondina! These unique, gourmet cookies aren’t just healthy, but taste good too! This secret family recipe has been passed down from generation to generation, and was introduced to the market in 1989. With its unique flavor and crunch, it is perfect eaten alone or dipped in your favorite coffee, tea, or even wine! With over 10 varieties of these cookies, you can find the perfect cookie for everyone in your family! You can find these delicious cookies in the following flavors (all adding to the almonds themselves, present in every variety):

  • Original – America’s all natural favorite with almonds and raisins
  • Chocolate Cherry – The world’s finest dark chocolate combined
    with plump cherries to produce an irresistible, decadent treat without guilt.
  • Choconut – Rich tasting crunchy chocolate, but low in calories
  • Cinnaroma® – The original biscuit for cinnamon lovers
  • Gingerspice – Trend setting, with chunks of Australian ginger
  • AlmonDuo® – Double-nut wonder with almonds and pistachios
  • AnniversaryT – Award winning delight with a touch of anise
  • BranTreats® – Made with oat bran and the finest cinnamon “Cookies For Breakfast”
  •  Sesame – Irresistible, exotic, flavorful
  • Seasonal Pumpkin Spice – A seasonal attraction with a delightful touch of fall spices combined with the highest quality almonds and pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
  • Chocolate Dipped – the Original® dipped in the finest, pure, rich dark chocolate was previously offered only certain times of the year is now available year round
  • Delights – The Original® Almondina totally encased in Milk chocolate
  • Yogurt Dipped – Brantreats® dipped on one side with a layer of all natural yogurt

Almondina: Overall

When I first tried these low calorie cookies, I really didn’t know what to think. Were they just for dipping, or to be eaten as normal cookies? Well, I discovered they are awesome both ways. In all honesty, these cookies are delicious! While I was sent a variety of the cookies for the review, the original flavor and choconut are hands down the favorite of both my husband and myself. I will admit though, these cookies are very addictive. If you aren’t careful it is very easy to eat the whole package since they are just so yummy. Right now, I can’t wait to order more of these cookies. Based on our own experience, we are delighted to give Almondina’s cookies an A rating!

    I love that they are low calorie and just the right portion size for a snack with my tea or coffee. I would just take a couple and be sure to put the rest away before I sit to enjoy them to make sure I don’t eat the whole package.

    I love that these are a natural alternative to the many processed, sugar-laden, high-fat-and-calorie snacks out there! Every variety is chock full of things that I love – like nuts, dried fruits, chocolate, and spices.
