Manufacturer’s Description:<\/strong> After 1 \u00bd years in development we have launched a new product called \u201cThe Protein Cookie\u201d. A moreish, yummy, soft baked, healthy snack serving as a great alternative to all the health\/protein bars & shakes. Perfect for \u201cpeople sick & tired of the bar scene!\u201d Also a great indulgent snack, minus the guilt!<\/p>\n These cookies are great for energy, strength, speed, endurance, body building, recovery, dieting, Celiac, general health, injury and achieving the best quality of life.<\/p>\n Product Label:<\/strong><\/p>\n Comments:<\/strong> I bought a box of 12 Chocolate Fudge Protein Cookies (shown above) for $19.99. Each cookie is individually wrapped and large enough to sink your teeth into (2.26 oz). The cookies themselves\u00a0were sweet and chocolatey, with a firm, dense, cakey texture. They were also rather dry…although this was less noticeable when accompanied by (my usual) large cup of tea.<\/p>\n Of course, consuming these with tea or some other liquid is probably a good idea, beyond compensating for the dryness, as each cookie also contains an impressive amount of dietary fiber: 15g. Fortunately, the bulk of the remaining carbs are provided by erythritol…a sugar alcohol which does not have laxative effects in moderate amounts – otherwise this would be a rather “explosive” combination.<\/p>\n While no one would mistake these for “Mrs. Field’s” cookies, I thought The Protein Cookie was a nice product.\u00a0The cookies are\u00a0a good source of fiber and\u00a0provide an adequate amount\u00a0of good quality protein. One made for a pretty substantial mid-morning snack: the protein and fiber + fluid (from the tea) was pretty satiating. While not really a weight loss food (the fat content is a bit high for that), I could think of worse ways to satisfy a craving for something sweet, without falling completely off your diet.<\/p>\n Special Note:<\/strong> We have received a note from the company who manufactures the Protein Cookie; apparently it will no longer be manufactured in the U.S., only in New Zealand. Presumably the Protein Cookies can still be purchased direct, although shipping costs will likely make them too expensive an option for a North American audience.<\/p>\n [usrlist “Taste:3.5” “Quality:3.5” “Efficacy:4.0” “Value:3.0″ avg=”true”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Protein Cookie is the original creation of The Protein Bakery – a New Zealand company specializing in\u00a0high fiber\/low\u00a0carb, wheat\/gluten-free cookies.\u00a0 Now available in the US through Fit […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8,9,11,1],"tags":[89,110,305,306,267,268],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=320"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":415,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320\/revisions\/415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n\n
