REVIEW:

The folks at the Caveman Cookie bakery pride themselves on creating a product similar in nutritional content and ingredients to the snacks our Paleolithic ancestors would have enjoyed. Their treats are all natural and made with minimal ingredients; the Original Caveman Cookie is made with only seven ingredients, all of which are foods and spices I recognize. They promote the “caveman” diet, which is a natural, holistic eating regiment based on easily digestible foods that early Homo sapiens would have sustained themselves on. Followers of the “caveman” diet focus on consuming whole, healthy foods like meat, veggies, fruits, and legumes and avoid foods like dairy, wheat and other grains which are common in the modern human diet.

Nutrition Facts

Caveman Cookies are sweet, chewy, and delicious, but to think of these desserts as a traditional, unhealthy cookie would be inaccurate. If you are craving a sinful treat full of bad fat and sugars, Caveman Cookies are not for you. These healthy snacks, which are more like granola bars than actual cookies, will satisfy your sweet tooth while providing nutrients and fiber, making you feel full. Free of preservatives but packed with all the good stuff, like honey nuts and berries, these tasty little snacks are great for bagged lunches or work as a healthy alternative to combat an afternoon sugar binge. Individually wrapped, they are a very convenient gluten-free alternative used to fight the inevitable hunger pangs that occur when everyone around you is munching on communal, wheat-filled snacks. 

Soft and chewy, these cookies have a consistency similar to a healthy, nut and honey filled version of the nostalgia-inducing oatmeal raisin cookie. Like the original oatmeal raisin, these cookies have sugary raisins and small chunks of walnuts. Instead of the allergic reaction provoking oats and wheat present in the original, these safe cookies were made from dough consisting of almond meal and honey. The Caveman Cookie would be an ideal healthy breakfast on the go because they are energy filled with 3 grams of protein per serving. I enjoyed mine with a cup of coffee on the bus and I was ready to face the day.

Taste: Chewy and sweet, these cookies tasted like a simple, healthier version of an oatmeal raisin cookie.

Labeling:  The information provided on the package was minimal and clear. On the front of the bag the phrase “gluten free” is obvious. The facts were limited to only necessary nutritional information, ingredients list, and a short blurb about the cookies inside.

Packaging:  Adorable! The cookies were all individually sealed in little plastic sleeves, making it easy to slip one in a purse or lunch sack. The cookies were housed in a brown paper bag with a sticker on the front and back which featured a cartoony bearded caveman enjoying one of his cookies.
