A Review of Wonderfully Raw

Wonderfully Raw was kind enough to send me some products to review. I have been a fan of the company for some time as I love their Coco-Roons, so I'm thrilled to do this review for them.

Wonderfully Raw is mostly known for their Coco-Roons but have recently expanded their line to "Snip Chips" and "Brussel Bytes." Their products are raw, organic, gluten-free, vegan, non-gmo and low-glycemic, which means diabetics can safely eat their products. They offer 6 flavours of Coco-Roons, as well as 3 mini Coco-Roons varieties. Two types of Brussel Bytes and 3 kinds of Snip Chips.

Coco-Roons: As I mentioned above, I have had a love for them for quite sometime. I don't think I've ever seen them available in Canada to purchase but friends have sent them to me and I've also had them while visiting the States. If you like coconut, you will love these, I guarantee it. I was sent the lemon pie, vanilla maple and brownie mini Coco-Roons and I loved them all. They each have the flavours they are titled to have. A mild sweet, natural treat that is much better for you than conventional store-bought processed products that fill your sweet cravings. I love the natural flavours that burst in your mouth with each bite. They also don't leave you feeling gross or overwhelmed after snacking, instead they leave you satisfied. I have a definite soft spot for the lemon pie, as I adore lemon flavours. Truly like eating mini lemon pies. :)
 

Ingredients

dried unsweetened coconut*, almond flour*, cacao*, unfiltered maple syrup*, cold-pressed coconut oil*, vanilla extract*, himalayan crystal salt vanilla extract*, Himalayan crystal salt

Brussel Bytes:  I received the chili pumpkin seed crunch variety of their Bytes. It also comes in a tamarind apple crunch variety. I was a bit apprehensive trying these as I'm not a brussel sprout fan but I have to say they weren't half bad. They have the same texture essentially as a kale chip. I never liked kale and these are enjoyed much better as they aren't bitter like kale is. This flavour was unique and had a nice kick with the chili. An enjoyable crunchy snack. My husband who loves brussel sprouts really enjoyed these.

Ingredients: brussels sprouts*, raw cashews*, raw pumpkin seeds*, kale*, tamari*, coconut nectar*, carrots*, raw coconut*, cilantro*, onion*, garlic*, apple cider vinegar*, cumin*, chipotle*

 

 

 

 

 

 

Snip Chips: I have a confession, I don't know if I had ever really had a parsnip before this. So, these are much like Brussel Bytes, only done with parsnips. I love the flavour of dill so was quite excited to try these. They have a decent flavour and a great crunch and I love the extra touch the coconut gives. They have an awesome dill taste that really clicks with the coconut and parsnip. It's definitely a unique snack that I had never thought to exist but that's what makes this company so interesting!

Ingredients: parsnips*, raw coconut*, raw cashews*, apple cider vinegar*, dill*, garlic*, lemon*, chipotle, mustard seed*, Himalayan crystal salt

I can only dream what other new and delicious creations will come out of the Wonderfully Raw kitchen. I want to say a big thank you to Wonderfully Raw for giving me the opportunity to review their products. You can get your hands on these products and more at www.mycocoroons.com as well as many retailers across the States.

Vegan Review-- Hail Merry

A couple months ago, I was a lucky winner of a Hail Merry prize pack. It had some issues shipping to Canada but it finally arrived yesterday and in excitement, I figured this was a good opportunity to finally do a review for HM. I have loved their products for quite awhile now, the only problem is they aren't sold in Canada (at least to my knowledge). I have tried 3 varieties of their Miracle Tarts while traveling in Las Vegas (you probably saw photos if you follow me on instagram) and I seriously fell in love with them. I occasionally get massive cravings wishing I had a Whole Foods I could raid. I have also tried a couple varieties of their pecans, as well as their macaroons that I received from Healthy Surprise when I had a subscription.

Hail Merry is a completely vegan, raw, gluten-free and non-gmo company. They use healthy pure ingredients and it truly shows. 

Merry's Miracle Tarts: I have tried 3 of the six varieties. I have had coconut vanilla creme, chocolate mint and Meyer lemon. It's hard for me to even pick a favourite because each are so unique and delicious. They are sweet, rich but light and amazingly, nutritious. They are a dessert but you could eat them as a meal and not feel sick. I seriously could rave about them all day.

This is my crazy vegan face and it shows just how much excitement I felt finding these.

Okay, let's get onto my prize package. I got this awesome "Eat Raw" shirt, 4 packs of macaroons in each variety and also a coupon booklet (which unfortunately I most likely can't use since I'm in Canada) but I plan on sending it to my bestie in Vegas at some point.

Macaroons

I admit, I am a sucker for macaroons. I love coconut so that's probably one of the main reasons but Hail Merry makes some of the best on the market. Quality ingredients, light, delicious, truly the perfect snack. I like them for dessert. I think the caramel sea salt is my favourite variety from them but they are all delicious and unique. The chocolate believe it or not is my least favourite, I think it's because of the bourbon vanilla they use. I really dislike the taste of alcohol. They are still good, just the last on my list. The only thing I don't like, I have a hard time not eating the whole bag!

Thanks Hail Merry for the awesome prize and for making delicious, nutritious and cruelty-free goodies!
