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.

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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
