REVIEW:

Today, we have Alpine Caveman Cookies up for review.  They are hearty little snacks made of honey, hazelnut meal, almond meal and toasted ground carob.  That’s it!  Hurray for simple, good and tasty ingredients with no hidden unhealthy additives.  Being Caveman snacks, the website promotes a “paleolithic” diet, which according to them means, simple, natural basic ingredients.  I’m all for it.

Nutrition Facts

The cookies are a half ounce each so they are pretty small, but they are certainly satisfying.  They are surprisingly filling too so they make a great grab and go snack.  These Caveman cookies are pretty healthy cookie alternatives, packing a respectable 1.5g of protein and 4.5g of fat, .25g saturated, per cookie.  I am a fairly healthy eater and if I am going to splurge on something sweet, I try to get things with simple ingredients.  These definitely fit the bill .

These little cookies make a great sweet pick-me-up snack to get you through the day.  I recommend spreading peanut or almond butter on them for an extra protein kick.  They have a really nice hazelnut flavor that blends well with the carob.  It reminds me of Nutella without the chocolate.  I’ve found some things with carob to be a little pasty and this is definitely not.  It is smooth tasting with a nutty, slightly chunky texture.  They come in individually wrapped packaging that is easy to throw in a purse or gym bag for whenever you need it.
