Review of 'Country Choice Organic' Sandwich Cremes (Vanilla)

Country Choice Organic -- Sandwich Cremes (Vanilla) (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: Ooh boy, Country Choice doesn't disappoint! These cookies are creamy, fresh, and super sweet. The cream filling is really rich and soft (not stiff at all)...everything just tastes so so fresh! It's perfectly crunchy and not crumbly and messy. The only downside is the high calories for a mere 2 cookies...but I justify this to myself by acknowledging the healthy fats provided (mono- and polyunsaturated fats).

Where to buy: Fortinos


Ingredients: Organic Wheat Flour, Organic Powdered Sugar With Organic Corn Starch, Organic High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Organic Sugar, Organic Oat Flour, Organic Molasses, Baking Soda, Sea Salt, Organic Vanilla Extract, Soy Lecithin, Natural Flavor.

Organic ingredients make me feel a lot better after having about 8 of these last night. It also helps that 4.5g of fat are healthy fats that I actually need in my diet. I suppose this kinda makes up (a little bit?) for the ZERO g of fibre and mere 1g of protein :/

I would normally be dying to try the Chocolate flavour next...but I'm really curious about the Ginger Lemon flavour...never seen that in sandwich cookies! It actually sounds like it might be a hit. Based on Country Choice's track record so far, it'll be awesome.
