Good Sunday morning everyone. Just wanted to do a product review on a sugar free cookie that I recently ordered off Netrition.com. If you have never ordered from this site, and have trouble getting some of the Belly Fat Cure friendly products in your supermarket, this is a good site to check out. They ship for a flat rate of $4.99 and they have so many things on the site. I recently tried these cookies in the Old Fashioned Ginger Spice flavor. They are made with erythritol and some stevia. They have 6 gms of fiber in one cookie and 10gms of carbs, but as Rosalie pointed out, you have to count the sugar alcohols as carbs, so the carb count for one is 0/14. I listed the nutritional information from the back of the package below, and also the product description from the web site. On the netrition web site, they list all the nutritional information for the products, so you really know what you are buying.
I did not warm these cookies in the microwave as they suggested. I tried them straight from the package. I have to say I had a lot of hope that I would like these. They are large in size and a soft texture, not crunchy at all. There is alittle bit of frosting drizzled over the top. I thought they would be perfect with a cup of hot tea.
The reason I won't buy them again, is the very strong, slightly bitter aftertaste. I think this is from the stevia. They taste good as you eat them, but the unpleasant aftertaste negates that, and leaves your mouth tasting funny. My husband tried them too and had the same impressions. We finally tossed the package because it just wasn't something we were enjoying at all. They come in two other flavors, coca, and strawberry banana. If anyone else has tried them, I'd be curious to hear your impressions.
Two thumbs down for this product.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend. It is a sunny, beautiful day here in PA!
