REVIEW:

Blessing’s Alive & Radiant Foods sent us another great flavor of their Raweo cookies. Like the a classic sandwich cookie, The Mega Chai Raweo featured two cookies made of dehydrated cashews sandwiched with a creamy, soaked almond filling in the middle. Infused with Chai Essence and made with all organic ingredients like coconut and honey, these large cookies would be suitable as a small meal on the go. 

Soft and flavorful, the Mega Chai Raweo is packed with 3 grams of protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium, making these tasty cookies an incredibly healthy alternative to an Oreo cookie. If you are on a low-calorie diet, watch out! This cookie has a whopping 360 calories. According to the nutrition facts, which are available on their website, a serving size is a third of a cookie. However, I found it difficult to stop eating the cookie until it was fully consumed because it was so sweet and delicious. It also made me feel really good and full of energy after snacking, even though I ate beyond the recommended serving size.

While, the name Raweo is a cute, and clever pun (and boy do I love puns!), the name Raweo may be a misnomer, because the consistency and moistness reminded me more of a coconut macaroon than an Oreo cookie. A really healthy, power packed coconut macaroon. Alive and Radiant Foods is a really nice business and the products they create meet every check on my list of ideal companies which I am proud to support: they are strictly gluten free, vegetarian, organic, and local to the bay area.

Taste: Aromatic and fresh, these cookies tasted delicious and had a similar consistency to a macaroon cookie.

Labeling: The label did not have as much information as I would have liked. While they stated their ingredients and an allergy warning, they did not provide Nutrition Facts. However all of this information was available on their website.

Packaging: The single cookie was packaged inside of a plastic bag.
