REAL Cookie Poppers Receive 2023 Good Housekeeping Best Snack Award

(Greenwich, CT) July 2023 - REAL Cookies, a gluten-free, grain-free, plant-based cookie brand in the better-for-you snack space, is pleased to announce that its new mini cookies, REAL Cookie Poppers, were named as a winner in Good Housekeeping’s 2023 Best Snack Awards in the Satisfying Sweets category. Select winners can be found in the July/August 2023 issue of Good Housekeeping, on stands now - the full list is available online at: goodhousekeeping.com/snackawards2023.

“We are beyond grateful to be selected for another Good Housekeeping Best Snack Award,“ shared Lauren Berger and Marla Felton, co-founders and long-time best friends who launched Get Real Foods, REAL’s parent company, in 2021. “It is truly fulfilling to hear how our cookies are resonating with so many consumers - both with and without food sensitivities. This continues to drive our mission to create intentional products that help people find the balance between the healthy, nutritious, and delicious things in life.”

REAL Cookie Poppers, which just launched in January, were crafted for consumers on-the-go who crave healthy yet indulgent snacks made with clean wholesome ingredients. Packaged in a convenient 4.5 oz pouch, Poppers are available in flavors - chocolate chip, peanut butter chocolate chip and lemon blueberry.

Since being founded in 2021, REAL continues to stand out in the crowded healthy snack food space as a satisfying and indulgent treat. Like its original award-winning cookie packs, REAL’s Poppers are made without gluten, grain, dairy, ​​eggs, corn, soy, artificial sweeteners, tapioca starch, or canola oil. The brand uses only simple, clean ingredients like almond and coconut flours, real fruit, decadent chocolate chips, and simply sweetened with maple syrup. REAL also recently received its non-GMO verification from the Non-GMO Project, a non-profit organization that administers North America's most rigorous certification for avoiding GMOs.

REAL’s Cookie Poppers and single-serve 2-cookie packs are available for purchase at Fresh Direct, United Market Street and select CVS stores nationwide. You can also find them online at RealCookiesCo.com and Amazon. Visit their website HERE to view the store locator for full national availability.

ABOUT REAL COOKIES

Real Cookies is a Greenwich, CT-based cookie company that was launched in August 2021 by long-time friends Lauren Berger and Marla Felton. The two, who both have family members with food sensitivities, often struggled with coming up with desserts that satisfied everyone at their tables. This, along with their love for cookies, inspired their mission to come up with both healthy and delicious cookie recipes that everyone would crave and enjoy. Real Cookies are made with only clean, real and thoughtfully sourced ingredients such as almond and coconut flour, pure maple syrup, vanilla, real fruit and dark chocolate. Real Cookies are gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, vegan, kosher, and paleo-friendly. They come in a variety of mouth-watering flavors: classic chocolate chip, peanut butter chocolate chip, and fresh lemon blueberry. A semi-soft cookie with a slightly crispy edge and that gotta-have-it flavor inside you know and love. For more information, visit realcookiesco.com.
