ChocZero Speculoos Cookies, Gluten Free, No Added Sugar, Spiced Windmill Keto Cookie, 30 Cookies Per Box, 9 Ounce (Pack of 1)

In short: crispy, light, fresh. Well packaged. Pleasant flavor. No weird taste (to me). I could use more spice, but it works for my needs (crumbling over keto cheesecake). 3 cookies to a packet. I already have another order going in.------------------------------------I accidentally found myself engaging in keto based diet. I say accidentally because at first I was just increasing healthy foods and reducing less healthy foods. But I wasnt noticing changes in bloodwork. I then decided to reduce refined carbs a little, then a lot, and now I am --without much effort--, consuming maybe 40 net carbs per day. Way easier onceI began to boost protein, fat, and fiber. The majority of my usual carbs slipped away because I just didnt have appetite for it. Food noise diminished. Big changes in my body followed quickly. Cool! Love reinforcement like that.So while I dont have a sweet tooth since this change, I am keen on a little creative protein and fat use. I saw someone make a parfait/icecream/cheesecake of the sort using blended up cottage cheese (blend until smooth), then they added a little (like, just 1-2 strawberries), a smidge of sweetener (I used a little monk fruit), and then topped with 1.5 of these cookies. Each pack contains 3, so just half a pack. Then placed in fridge or freezer for a few minutes to firm up. It produced a cheesecake like vibe. I sometimes add a little strawberry extract to boost the strawberry flavor. Maybe they did too. Whatever, it was delightful. And was easy way to boost my fiber, protein, and fat.Anyway, I looked up this product right away. Read up on it, and proceeded to buy a pack.I have had "keto" products in the past, and overall I didnt care for them. They seem to taste best when actually on a keto diet (or something approximate to) as I swear tastebuds change. But when not eating like that, it tastes weird. Well, I tried these about 2 weeks into the change over, and I find them fantastic. I wouldnt mind a little more "spice", but I think they have a neat flavor. I would eat these whether I was dieting or not. I really just use them to add a little texture and flavor to the cottage cheese "dessert". I dont eat it every day, so a pack of these will last me a long time. I normally use half a pack, but even a full pack doesnt add much.I really didnt want to get into desserts, no matter how low carb, but some of the stuff I see now (compared to years ago) looks and sounds so good. This brand has A LOT of options, and the prices arent too shabby (not that I rate on price). I may get some of their marshmallows and try it out using a pack of these cookies to make a sort of "smore:.-------------------------------------------OK, so does it raise blood sugar? I dont know. I am looking to get a continuous glucose monitor. I do have a regular monitor but I have been remiss in using it. Perhaps I will update if I ever think to test before and after eating this.As I learn more about "sugars" and hidden sugars and other ingredients that could spike insulin levels (I am prediabetic, and it is with this that changes were happening), I learned that everyone is different. So monitoring is good. But something may raise it for one person, but not at all for another. Another thing is how often someone eats and what all they are eating at the time. I prefer to "wrap" my foods in protein and fat when and where possible. I doubt I would eat this plain, as a snack. Instead it is part of a larger meal, at the end. I eat 2x a day, no snacking. Every single time anything goes in the mouth, the body activates insulin. So I keep that in mindOne thing to generally avoid is maltodextrin, especially corn fiber based. Tapioca based isnt as "bad". SO I looked at this and saw "soluble corn fiber dextrin", and wondered if that was going to be an issue. I asked the web for the difference between this and maltodextrin, and I was pleased to see that,"Soluble corn fiber (resistant dextrin) is a non-digestible, prebiotic fiber that has a low impact on blood sugar levels, unlike maltodextrin, a highly processed starch that acts like sugar in the body. The primary difference is digestibility: resistant dextrin is designed to bypass digestion and provide fiber benefits, while maltodextrin is broken down into glucose, providing quick energy but raising blood sugar. Resistant dextrin also has fewer calories and helps regulate blood sugar and improve gut health, making it suitable for low-carb diets, whereas maltodextrin is higher in calories and can cause blood sugar spikes". Lots more details, so if you want to know more use this search:"soluble corn fiber resistant dextrin vs maltodextrin"

How have I missed these? Although pricey like other low-carb foods, these ChocZero cookies are worth the additional cost! They taste exactly like the versions they replace!!! No grittiness present as in many alternative flour cookies. And none of that protein powder flavor aftertaste found in other low carb cookies. I've also purchased two other ChocZero cookie varieties, and all three are so good, I finally feel "normal" again, enjoying a dessert that bites, tastes, and satisfies like regular cookies. For me, the absence of that tongue-coating chemical aftertaste is, the clean list of ingredients and the amazingly true flavor set these apart as being the best of the offerings available! I'm going to purchase boxes of these as gifts for other low carb, gluten free friends who struggle for happy, true-to-taste alternatives.

These are nicely cinnamon-y. they were mostly broke but they make a great crust and a wonderful parfait, so no worries. Last but certainly not least, they just taste good!

The media could not be loaded. Delicious! But can’t be used as dippers . They arrive broken or in crumbs. I chose to eat these instead of the other brand which is full of carbs and sugars. This is my healthy alternative to prevent weight gain and reduce my sugar and carb intake. These are well priced for being an alternative that I consider a healthy alternative. texture is great. It’s just like the alternative and the thickness is similar, I don’t aim to have it be exactly like the alternative because anything that is healthy will not contain all the preservatives and ingredients that bind these foods or give them the flavors as others have. I still recommend these.

Very good substitute if you are on keto! They obviously taste a bit different, but the classic cookie butter taste is there. You don’t have to sacrifice yummy snacks and quality when cutting out sugar. Mink fruit is such a delicious alternative. I would buy again based on the cookie quality, size, and freshness!

They have a nice taste, gluten free, low carb. That’s all good, but they are expensive. They’re packaged in individual servings of 3 cookies each, and every single package has broken cookies. Some were so bad it was mostly crumbs. I thought it was just a fluke, but I’ve bought like 3-4 boxes—every single serving has broken cookies. I’ve never received a whole unbroken cookie! It’s not so bad if they are cracked in a couple of places, but crumbs get thrown away (not eating them with a spoon!).

Gluten free but flavor-full! I am not a whiner who doesn't eat gluten because it's hip, I am a real gluten intolerant person, tho not Celiac. I break out in itchy rash when I eat gluten! My favorite food is pizza! :( so I am struggling to find yummy food to replace the usual snack suspects. These are GREAT! Yummy flavor, crunchy and fulfilling. Good with tea, coffee, wine..a nice choice for Celiacs too!

The cookies are really good and go great with my morning coffee.The only reason for the 4 star rating is that the cookies are ALWAYS broken. I’ve now ordered 3 boxes and have yet to find one package where the cookies aren’t cracked.This usually isn’t a big deal for me because I eat them dipped in my coffee and they are at least mostly in decent size pieces, but if you plan to use them in something where presentation matters, then this could be a deal breaker.
