Review of Anna's 'Almond Thins'

Anna's -- Almond Thins (vegan)
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: glorious aroma, very cinnamonny. I love the thinness of the cookies and they are super crunchy and fresh every time I buy them. Perfectly sweet. These cookies are serious business. The flavours in these cookies never cease to amaze me. It's a harmonious collection of ingredients. The only downsides of the brand are: (1) the lack of info on GMO status and (2) lack of nutritional value in the cookies. Needless to say, I still indulge every so often.

Where to buy: Western Canada (see stores here), Sobeys in Atlantic Canada, and online

Annas Almond Thins

Ingredients: wheat flour, vegetable margarine (palm oil, palm kernel oil, canola oil, water, salt, vegetable monoglycerides, citric acid, flavor), sugar, invert sugar syrup, almonds (2%), leavening (sodium bicarbonate), cinnamon, flavor.

Yeah, so this nutritional profile is pretty empty. For about 130 cals, you get mostly fat and sugars. There's next to no fiber and only 1g of protein and 1% iron...really, really not worth eating, in my opinion...other than to satisfy a craving, of course! I can't recommend this cookie for nutrition, only for occasional indulgence!

Other 'Thins' flavors:
Brand:
  • Manufactured in Sweden
  • No artificial flavorings
  • Uncertain GMO status
