 I was very skeptical when I saw this in my local health food store. How could a product made with cashews and pea protein be any good? In one word, this product is amazing. It's also vegan, organic, keto, dairy-free, egg-free, gluten and soy free as well. I couldn't get a decent picture of the label because the print is so tiny you can barely read it, so I took this information from the bhu foods website: Ingredients: Organic Cashews, Organic Chocolate, Organic Prebiotic Fiber (From Tapioca), Organic Red Palm Oil (Certified Sustainable), Organic Pea Protein, Organic Brown Rice Protein, Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Cocoa Powder, Pure Water, Organic Baobab, Orange Pulp, Sea Salt, Organic Vanilla, Monk Fruit, Xantham Gum, Baking Soda, Organic Stevia. Allergen: Nuts. Nutritional Facts: Serving Size 1.65 OZ (47g) per Cookie, Serving per Container 6, Calories 200, Calories from Fat 150, Total Fat 16g (*25%), Saturated Fat 7g (*35%), Cholesterol 0mg (*0%), Sodium 210mg (*9%), Total Carbohydrate 17g (*6%), Dietary Fiber 8g (*32%), Net carbs 8g, Sugars 0g, Protein 10g, Vitamin A 0%, Vitamin C 0%, Calcium 4%, Iron 10% *Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet. Allergen: Nuts. I recognize all of the ingredients except "organic baobab." Here is a very informative website. Baobab certainly does appear, by all accounts, to be a "superfood." https://nuts.com/healthy-eating/benefits-of-baobab I am puzzled by the serving size referring to a "cookie" as a serving size. This is cookie dough, you're not supposed to actually bake it, am I right?! Yes, I ate it out of the container. It might be obvious to some that this product is aimed at the keto and low-carb crowd; however, if you have a sweet tooth and enjoy your chocolate, this is definitely a healthier option than a candy bar or a tube of "regular" cookie dough. The only negative thing I have to say about this product is its price. The 10 ounce tub is a whopping $14.99. I have managed to show some restraint and have made a tub last for at least two weeks just because I can't afford to shell out what could be up to $60.00 per month (one tub per week) for a cookie dough addiction. It's a fine "sometimes" treat for me.  Like natural peanut butter, the oil tends to separate, so if you can, it's helpful to stir it around somewhat or you will end up eating some dry chunks and some very oily chunks. I prefer some consistency, so I mixed it a bit. Don't refrigerate it.
I very highly recommend this product and hope that I can find it on sale somewhere sometime soon!
