Marisela at Nutridel sent me two kinds of cookies to try out, Oatmeal and Almond. The cookies are 100% natural and contain no additives, preservatives, artificial colorings, flavorings or sweeteners of any kind. The cookies were interesting. They aren't your soft and chewy cookie, but are very thin and crunchy. The oatmeal cookie had 62 calories, 2.5g fat and 3g of protein. The ingredients are nice and simple, keeping it healthy: oats, whole wheat flour, wheat bran, sunflower seeds, dry coconut, sesame seeds, molasses and sunflower oil. In addition to the oatmeal and almond flavors, they also make pecan and flax seed. Of the two I tried, I preferred the almond which really surprised me since I'm a sucker for anything oatmeal. While I appreciated this as a healthy treat, I have to be honest and say that I wasn't a huge fan. And for $2.50 a pack (a package contains 2 cookies) I do not see myself purchasing these. Looking at the ingredients, they aren't that far off from the homemade granola bars that I've made for a heck of a lot cheaper, and tastier (in my humble opinion). It kills me to not be a fan of a cookie, since I looove me some cookies, but for the price I don't think these are worth it. I'm giving Nutridel 4 biscuits out of 10.

I can only imagine how you're feeling right now. Yu've had a great training cycle with some awesome races thrown into the mix. Now it's time for the culmination. Rest up and fuel up!!!
What? No giveaway contest? Sheesh!
Anywhoo...so excited for you this weekend! I ran in cloudy 50's a few weeks ago for my BQ so I know you are gonna rock it! I'll keep praying to the weather gods for ya!! ;)
I am getting so excited for you!!! I remember that feeling all to well! Yay!!!! Good luck girl! You are going to do great!!! Is that a PR I see in your future?!?!
Wow, the countdown is really on! Hope the weather stays as awesome as it looks! I would eat just about any kind of cookie right now! Good luck!
good luck with the philly marathon!
Nice to see an honest cookie review. Too many reviews that I read praise the product just to suck up to the company that sent it. Good luck in Philly. Is there a way to follow your run??
I liked these as a mini calorie snack and crunchiness. Thanks for your feedback and honesty - when are you heading to the expo?
Thanks for your honest review. Just a comment on the price, we do emphasize that our cookies are artisan, gourmet and hand-made, meaning, we are not a huge industrial complex spitting out thousands of units per minute made by machines. We buy the highest quality ingredients, and our product is made the old fashioned way, by hand in small batches with nothing else than what is listed on the label. Some people are willing to pay a premium for this rare and unique end product in today's mass production market, and some aren't.
We don't expect everybody to praise our products to "suck up", as we don't offer any type of compensation to our reviewers. We appreciate and are open to all reviews, both favorable and unfavorable, and we appreciate the opportunity to post our own comments as well. Cheers!
Good to hear, Nutridel! I'll be happy to try your cookies if you send some my way. But as I said earlier, I will be honest, so don't expect me to "suck up" to your company...LOL.
Your excitement is palpable - you were made for this marathon thing!
Getting so excited for you!!!! And I <3 that you do not kiss up to the people who send you samples. I still need to go back & find that powdered peanut butter you posted about over the summer and order some! RUN RUN RUN!
I will have hold judgment until I try some of those cookies. Thanks for the reveiw!
I am sure you are counting the minutes! I am eager to read all about your race.
Oh, and your floor. Looks a lot like my floor! Nice.
My mind would be going nuts!!
You've put in the time and you're going to have a great race!! Yay!
The cookies don't even "look" that good. Can't wait to hear about your race - best wishes!!!
Two things: 1) Best of luck Sunday. 2) When did cookies become artisan? In this, the week of Sesame Street's 40th birthday, what would Cookie Monster think?
Good luck on Sunday!! The weather is lookign awesome!
ohh mid-50's that would be fantastic!!! I know you are so excited, I hope it's a great day
Hi Denise, saw ur name on tall mom's blog, GOOD LUCK THIS WEEKEND! As for boston selling out, yes it would have been cool to run it in 2010 but even if u have to wait til 2011 you will still (and always) be able to say u are BOSTON QUALIFIED! Go for the title! Most ppl can't say that. Good luck!!!!!!! Congrats on ur 50 miler! I'm thinking about doing one next nov in Ma. Good luck! BQ!
Please listen to that new album, you will love it, especially wrapped up in the accompanying snuggie!
No pace group for me. I'm starting in the 3:51-4 hour corral, but hopefully my finishing time is more in line with your goal.
Biggest difference? You are FAST! Have a great race!
