I first heard about WhoNu? Cookies during the summer while visiting some relatives. My uncle bought a box of the WhoNu? Chocolate Sandwich Cookies and he asked me to try them. I was impressed with the taste and even more impressed with the nutritional value these cookies claim to have. So I bought two boxes (chocolate chip crispy and chocolate sandwich) when they went on sale at my local grocer for two for $5. Overall, it was worth the price.
What are WhoNu? Cookies?
WhoNu? Cookies debuted over the summer as a delicious nutrition rich snack. According to the nutritional label, WhoNu? Cookies are fortified with 20 vitamins and minerals. Some of the stand out statistics include 3g of dietary fiber, 30% calcium and 25 percent Vitamin C per serving (three cookies.) And the box makes sure to tell you WhoNu? Cookies have “as much fiber as a bowl of oatmeal” and “as much Vitamin C as a cup of blueberries.”
How do WhoNu? Cookies taste?
I prefer the WhoNu? Chocolate Chip Crispy to the Chocolate Sandwich Cookie. WhoNu? Cookies are made with wheat flour instead of white flour and I can taste the difference. Personally, I like wheat flour over white flour with chocolate chip cookies. You may disagree with my opinion. Overall, for a store bought cookie, I thought the WhoNu? Chocolate Chip Crispy Cookie was delicious and worth buying again. For those who love the taste of Oreos, the WhoNu? Chocolate Sandwich Cookie may leave something to be desired but is still tasty.
Anything I didn’t like?
Not really. Price is fair (about $4 a box when not on sale), they taste great, and they’re nutritious. The fat content for both WhoNu? Chocolate Chip Crispy and Chocolate Sandwich Cookies is 7g per serving, which is reasonably low. But if you love the taste of these cookies, keep in mind that every three cookies is another 7g of fat.
It’s not a dietary supplement
Although it should be obvious, there are bound to be some people who will use WhoNu? Cookies in place of real nutrition. These are cookies that happen to be fortified with vitamins and minerals, not a dietary supplement. So use them as a snack without the guilt but never as a substitute for fruits, vegetables and whole grains. For example, serve three WhoNu? Cookies and some apple wedges as a perfect after dinner treat.
