Welcome to Day #5 of Chocolate Cookie Theme Week.

While I haven't seen these cookie-shaped Protein Pucks where I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, I was able to find and purchase some on recent trip to Oregon, at a scenic site called Vista House at Crown Point, overlooking the Columbia River Gorge.

And across the gorge, lies Washington, the state where this Almond Butter Dark Chocolate Protein Puck was manufactured for Inland Coffee Retailers LLC (Spokane, WA).

The Almond Butter Dark Chocolate Protein Puck/bar contained small chunks of dark chocolate (not immediately visible from the package), and was substantial and filling.

This gluten free and vegan bar contained almond butter, agave, gluten free oats, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, dark chocolate, coconut and sunflower oil.

Welcome to Day #3 of Chocolate Cookies Theme Week. (All gluten free folks.)

Today's Minis—Cocoa* bites from Mary's Gone Crackers, Inc. (Gridley, CA)—were tiny organic cookies made with a gluten-free flour blend, and contained crunchy bits of whole grain quinoa flakes and chia seeds.

Lightly sweetened, a single serving (22) of these vegan 1-bite shapes would likely allow you to enjoy the sun, the moon and the stars. (And the hearts too.)

Just like Mary's seed crackers, a few of these Minis left me feeling like I'd eaten something substantial and satisfying. Thank you to the team at Mary's for continuing to develop nutritious snacks that contain whole grain, with no wheat or gluten. (Mary herself has Celiac disease, a big reason why she got into the gluten-free cracker business.)

*Mary's Minis (bites) also come in vanilla and graham flavors.
