WhoNu? Cookies Review + Giveaway

By /

Who knew that cookies could be healthy and taste good?  WhoNu?™ is a new brand of cookies loaded with 20 essential vitamins and minerals plus 3 grams of dietary fiber.  The ingenious people at Suncore Products asked the important question, “Why can’t a snack be delicious and nutritious?”  WhoNu?™ cookies are designed to look like old family favorites and provide an alternative to indulgent treats that offer little or no nutritional value.

Adding nutrition to a treat that looks and tastes like something a kid would want to eat was an essential factor in the creation of theWhoNu?™ recipe.  After all, why pack a treat with vitamins and minerals if kids won’t want to eat it?  Because taste drives eating habits, adding essential nutrition to kids’ favorite foods – without sacrificing taste – can improve kids’ total diet.

Four varieties of WhoNu?™ cookies, including chocolate and vanilla sandwich cookies and both crispy and chewy chocolate chip, will be available at major retailers nationwide this July.

WhoNu?™ is a new brand of cookies loaded with 20 essential vitamins and minerals, plus 3 grams of dietary fiber, created to look and taste like family favorites. The brand was created to serve as an alternative to other indulgent, nutrition-poor treats on the market, allowing family treat time to be a nutrition-rich occasion.

The cookies are available in four kid-familiar forms and flavors: Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chip, Crispy Chocolate Chip, Vanilla Sandwich and Chocolate Sandwich varieties.

WhoNu?™ is the only cookie on the market that provides 20 percent or more of the daily allowance of vitamin C, calcium, vitamin D, iron, vitamin E, vitamin B12 and vitamin A, along with 3 grams of dietary fiber.

WhoNu?™ cookies are an alternative to other cookies or indulgent treats that offer little or no nutritional value. They are not intended to replace vitamins, supplements or other healthy eating habits, including consumption of fruits and vegetables.

MY THOUGHTS

I had not heard of WhoNu? cookies until I participated in this campaign!  I liked the Vanilla Sandwich Cookies and the Chocolate Sandwich Cookies.  However, I personally didn’t care for the Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chip cookies or the Crispy Chocolate Chip cookies.  My boys really liked the Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, but didn’t care for the Chocolate Chip cookies.

    I think the Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chip appeal to me the most. I have not heard of these either so thanks for letting us know to look for them.

    I’d like to try the crispy chocolate chip. But cookies are still cookies – fruit is a healthier dessert.

    I would like to try the chocolate and vanilla sandwich cookie. that is a lot to type. It would be easier to say the Oreo kind. and I would like to see if nutrition beats out tradition.

    The Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chip cookies would be great, especially warmed for 15 seconds in the microwave.

    I would love to try the crispy chocolate chip ones. These sound wonderful. I have a very picky 2yr old and this would be a great way for him to get his vitamins and enjoy it!!!

    I’d go with the chewy c.chip. Crispy ones do nothing for me, so seeing chewy ones at a reasonable price is swell.

    Thank you a lot for giving everyone such a nice opportunity to read critical reviews from this site. It is often very nice and also packed with fun for me personally and my office peers to search your website no less than thrice in 7 days to see the latest stuff you have. Not to mention, I am also always astounded with your fantastic creative ideas you serve. Certain two areas in this posting are completely the best we’ve ever had.
