Yes! to Cookies? Yes! to Strawberry-Banana Blitz

by Staff

This website provides us the opportunity to share with you products that you might not normally hear about.  This is one of those times.  Recently I got in touch with David from Yes! to Cookies and had the opportunity to listen to him explain their product, and then receive a sample to try and let you guys know about it.

Yes! to Cookies is the first cookie filled with fiber, that replaces flour – leaving them starch free, sugar and gluten free.

I tried both the Strawberry-Banana Blitz 8 0z. Baked Cookies and  Cocoa-Liscious 8 0z. Baked Cookies. Both of these are only $9.95 each.

Because I really wanted to give these cookies the opportunity to be experienced by more than just me (because I’m such a picky eater) that I took them to work.

I took the cocoa cookies first.  My husband (who is a diabetic) and I both tried them – and the rest were consumed at work.

I didn’t love the flavor, something seemed off, because when I hear cocoa, I want to taste cocoa, and I didn’t.  My husband wasn’t much of a fan either.  It’s not so much that there’s something ‘wrong’ or awful with them, but it’s not the taste I’m looking for when I see a cocoa cookie sitting there :) so I think it was a bit deceiving and therefore confused my taste buds!

Same response for the most part from my coworkers, they just didn’t fly.

However – then I brought in the strawberry banana blitz – and those were a hit!  My husband and I both tried them, and when you’re used to eating low sugar/no sugar foods – there was no strange taste (the cookies are made with erythritol and Rebaudioside A – which is from Stevia), so for someone not accustomed to eating natural sweetened food, it might have an after taste.

I had them at work for people to try – and the reactions were mixed. Those who were diabetic, or one woman, who eats gluten-free regularly – loved them.  Those who were used to normal, strong sugar, all said it was good – but it had a ‘taste’ that they couldn’t pin.  It’s just like if you always drink regular soda, and then have a diet soda, it’s not that there’s something awful about it – but it’s not something you’re used to.

All in all – I think they’re amazing and I highly suggest the strawberry banana. We did not get the mix to make our own, so I can only speak for the pre-made ones :)

Check them out – give the website a read over. They have some amazing information that I just can’t re-explain as well as they do :)
