Hail Merry Persian Lime Tarts--Yum!

I was prepping for a holiday party and was looking for something fun to take for dessert when I found these little gems at the health food store. I tried one right away and they are delicious! Super creamy and rich!

 

The crust is made with almond flour and the filling has stuff like coconut butter and agave nectar, so there's no dairy and no grains. They are certified G.F. Not something to have everyday but definitely fun for special occasions! They are a nice small size to pack in my purse to take to the party.

The site says that $45 overnight shipping is included in that price so if you can find them at a retail location they would be more reasonably priced.  The 340 calories would put me off from buying these on a regular basis but I LOVE tart lime flavored things :D.

I agree, shipping them would be way too expensive! They are less than $5 each at my health food store, so that's not a bad price for a special dessert once in awhile....

Mine was only 170 calories, if I remember right. I wonder if this one that I linked to was a slightly different one from the same company....

I saw these at one of the "health" food stores.  The ones I saw were small - about the size of a little round margarine tub.  Good to know they are tasty.  I might try one when I see them again. They are probably the same ones - 170 calories per serving (it has 2 servings).

 It says 170 calories, but 2.5 servings, so double that and then some :D.

Gotcha! I guess that I have to read the fine print a little better. ;) I'm not too worried about the calories for an occasional fun treat though, but it's good to know what they actually are. It's not too surprising that they are high, considering the amount of fats in it (almonds, coconut butter, coconut oil).

I guess  shipping alone  is a killer  price.. I  haven't seen them in any  of our local stores  , under $5.oo   for  an occasional treat  I  wouldn't  mind  ....there are  several gluten-free  items  I  would like to try but  shipping  & pricing  is  way to  high   for  my  budget....

Yeah, it's hard when you don't have something in your area.

I think I had one of those last year!  It was good!!  There's a restaurant (mostly carryout) in my area that cooks only healthy food.  Most of the business is meals to order that are delivered on a weekly basis.  A very cool concept!  The owner has celiac and lactose intolerance.  When I broke my hip last year, my hubs brought it to the rehab center for a treat.  When I was home, I ordered a weeks worth of meals to try it out.  It was...just okay.  I got sick when I ate the lactose free cheese that was on one of my burger meals.  I questioned her about it, making sure it was dairy free, and I was assured it was.  It definitely was not!!  Lactose free - yes, dairy free - no! So, I haven't ordered since.

That frozen food shipping can get ya good.  I tried one of those from a store, forget where, it was pretty good.  A nice treat.

I am a huge fan of Hail Merry's products, but the calorie content can be up there. I am a huge fan of their macaroons, namely the salted caramel ones. They make a heck of a bribe to get me to do things when I am feeling like " but I don't wanna" with me.  However their tarts like the  chocolate Almond butter one and the lime ones they have ones you can cut in half and eat in two different servings but the calorie content is way up there.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for...

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
