Yesterday I did my baking for Meghann’s Blogger Bake Sale – Vegan Chocolate Thumbprint cookies! These were customizable and the winner chose to have almond butter in the center of the cookies (great choice!).
Last week Bobby and I received some Honest Foods products to try – granola planks and country squares! Honest Foods has a new look, and new nutritional info – they cut a lot of sugar! But the product still tastes delicious.
This is Bobby trying one of the country squares (Choco Peanut Butter) – it was very good. I had to steal a bite of it before he finished. We also got to try the Apple Ginger, Cran Lemon Zest, and Almond Trail Mix. Apple Ginger is my favorite. I had 1/2 of an apple ginger with some yogurt and chopped pear last week – yum! The squares are perfect for an on the go breakfast (Bobby) or a healthy dessert (me).
We also got to try 3 kinds of granola planks – Maple Almond Crunch, Pomegranate Walnut Crisp, and Blueberry Vanilla Crackle. I liked Maple Almond Crunch the best; Bobby like the Blueberry Vanilla Crackle.
I am really happy that Honest Foods revamped their products to have less sugar, and I will definitely be buying these again. Have you tried them? What’s your favorite flavor?

I tried some of the country squares back before they revamped them, and do remember thinking that they were a little unnecessarily sweet. I’ll have to try them again! Oh, and I liked the cranberry-lemon one. The PB chocolate one was as dry as a bone, which was kind of disappointing.
i’ve never tried them or ever heard of them, but thank you for introducing them!
I’ll have to check out those Honest bars again, because at first glance, they were pretty high in sugar!
I actually love ALL their flavors. YUM!
I’ve always wanted to try their products…especially those planks, the blueberry granola sounds fab!
whoa they changed their look! i had the trail mix which wasn’t my taste it had too much sesame seeds and i also have a box of the i think almond maple? is that a flavor? something like that. it’s pretty good
I haven’t tried them but I want to! They are kinda high in calories, right? That is generally dangerous for me since I *love* granola!
Haven’t tried them but they look intriguing! And would be tasty mixed in yogurt, I’m sure. Your cookies look so good.
Oh my gosh, your cookies look amazing!
Those cookies look delightful!
I haven’t tried them yet.. wish I got some samples too!
Haven’t tried the Honest Foods yet, but my grocery store sells them, so I”ll have to check them out!
I’m glad the winner chose Almond Butter… Those look great
SENSATIONAL COOKIES!!

My fav is the choco peanut butter, it is so much like a cookie!
They sent me a box too! I love them!! I had choco peanut butter in my oats today! Apple Ginger is my favorite of the bars though!
I’m totally loving the packaging and name of the honest products. Thanks for the review
