Catalina Crunch Protein Cookies, 4g Protein per Serving | Low-Sugar Sandwich Cookies | Gluten Free, Vegan | Keto Dessert Snacks - Chocolate Mint, 5.9 oz. (14 Count)

Being diabetic, finding a snack that fits my diet AND taste good is near on impossible. When I started with the cereal I found these cookies. Not only did they not taste like balsa wood and filler putty, rather actual vanilla! I know everything in moderation, but these, well I don’t feel bad physically or mentally if I eat them.

The formula/recipe is different since the last time I had these. Previously the outer cookies were super dense and hard to bite, the chocolate was not dark and didn't actually have the black cocoa taste unique to Oreos (and off brand Oreos) but still so good for the mint. Didn't care for the vanilla or chocolate with vanilla centers, the taste was way off, but the mint ones had enough flavor to make them really good. Taste alone is improved and gets a 5 but ELEVEN net carbs, this is NOT LOW CARB anymore. If it had 3-5 net carbs in 2 cookies, I'd give it a 5 all around. But since it's so high in carbs it's just not worth it. Several of mine were broken and if the carbs had not increased by 40%, I wouldn't even care because they are that good. They actually taste like an Oreo with that black cocoa and the mint is great. But since it's supposed to be keto friendly and it's not and the false advertising says 5 net carbs but the product packaging clearly shows SEVEN, 3 stars is all you get from me.

Great ingredients, great taste - enjoyable enough in taste to be a more-than-fair substitute to the unhealthier alternatives. Great texture - not crumbly, grainy nor chalky. Nice thickness - not thin. Not dry - I leave the container open to let the cookies soften, as I prefer it that way. Beats all the other low-sugar options I've tried. I've received a few batches where the flavor was off, or they were past expiration, but lately they have all been consistently good. Product is expensive, so I'll have one or two cookies per day.

A little on the dry side, but still tasty. There is no protein flavor to speak of. Good size, the same as an Oreo. A bit expensive for just an Oreo knock off, but if you want quality ingredients it could be for you. Seems like a good compromise between healthy ingredients and taste. They were very fresh, but a bit hard texture wise. Very crunchy.

There was a risk in purchasing these cookies since I did not like the company's cereals. The same issues, plus others, were present in both products. My initial impression of the flavor was positive, but the more I consumed the product, the more disenchanted I became. The texture of the cookies was similar to that of a stale cookie, but the problem was that the cookies were not stale. However, this issue was near the bottom of my list of criticisms of the product. I am a great consumer of keto products, and texture is not a high value for me. I value flavor more. Before I move on to flavor, I must add that the cookie remnants kept sticking to my gums and were challenging to remove with my tongue. (Sorry for the yuck factor here.) As mentioned, my first impression was positive, but then we had the gum-and-teeth-sticking-residue issue. Next, as I continued to eat the cookies, I noticed a bitter aftertaste. This did it; I was not a fan and decided not to eat another cookie. One final note: the cookies were not worth eating, as the serving size was too low for the higher carb count.

I was happily surprised by the mint chocolate cookies. It’s very close in texture and taste to Oreos. I don't like Catalina cereal and this isn’t that. ~53 and a born diabetic.

These are so good. I had to put them up so I didn't eat more then the serving. I wish there was more in the package but I will buy them again. Can't wait to try the other flavors

Flavor is really good, tastes like other vanilla sandwich cookies, but there's not much filling and the cookies and filling don't stick together well. When I opened the box, many of the cookies were broken and separated from the filling. The creme filling wasn't very creamy. It was hardened. Not sure if the cookies we got are the norm or whether they were stale. It was expensive and sad to say it's not really worth it in my opinion.
