When you are trying to eat Paleo and/or healthy on the go, snacks are either fruit or veggies. But what do you do when you are craving something on the sweet side but you don't want to ruin your healthy way of eating or cave into eating something that has artificial flavors or processed ingredients?
I had heard about a new product that was being discussed in one of the Paleo groups called Merry Bites. They are Paleo approved, non-GMO, vegan and free of peanuts, dairy, soy, eggs, corn, wheat and gluten and made with coconut oil (which, as you know, is very healthy for you and helps to increase your metabolism).
Who is Hail Merry?
I was given and opportunity by Hail Merry, the company that produces Merry Bites and Miracle Tarts, to have a taste test of their products. I wanted to find out more about Hail Merry and found that Hail Merry has a women-led kitchen, and dedicates a portion of their time and resources to help charities that help victims and survivors of human trafficking.Merry Bites Taste Test
Hail Merry graciously sent a package of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Salted Brownie, Pure Vanilla and Lemon Merry Bites. I tried the Pure Vanilla and was hooked. Merry Bites are about the size of a golf ball, yet are packed full of flavor. I didn't think that something so small would cure my craving for something sweet, but it did. Not to mention, a serving size are 2 bites, which you wouldn't think would be enough to cure any snack craving, but it did.
The Verdict
Now, honestly, I'm used to eating healthy, so anything made with pure, natural ingredients is nothing new to me. I decided to have my mom and aunt try them to see what they thought. Let's just say that they were hooked and had me go to our local health food store to purchase more.
But my biggest skeptic, my daughter, who shrugs her nose at every new food I buy to try, tried the Chocolate Chips Cookie Dough bites. I didn't tell her it was healthy, but was a new snack product to try. She, at first, new that it was healthy because it didn't taste like any of the not-good-for-you cookie dough products that she has eaten in the past. However, after her second bite, she said that she actually liked them and would take something like this with her to work to have on her breaks.
