Punk'd Protein Cookie 12 x 75g

As others before me, I purchased this for a protein snack option but for that it's not particularly a healthy option especially if you watch your calorie intake as well. Attached photo for your information. Sadly, I didn't have that before the purchase. :(

A few years ago I was all over protein snacks and supplements following a strict health plan so have a fair bit of experience with protein snacks. Upon trying these cookies I was initially impressed with the smell first of all, a hint of vanilla but smelt fresh and appealing. After biting in the flavour is good, there's not an overwhelming flavour of protein like a lot of similar snacks on the market and there were plenty of chocolate chips for those with a sweet tooth. I personally found the texture to be rather crumbly initially and then very gritty which I'm not sure is due to the protein or the sugar but it's not a texture I enjoyed. Granted, for a "protein" snack the flavour is good but, and it's a big BUT.. they're actually very calorie dense and contain a whopping 25g of sugar per cookie. At almost 400 calories each I don't think they're as healthy as suggested. I get it, they're for people looking for a sweet treat on a diet but honestly there are so many better options for this calorie count. 12g of protein is decent but nothing a good protein shake can't provide for 100 calories or less and a good quality granola with fresh fruits would likely fall beneath this calorie count and be more filling! At over 1.50 a cookie I can't say I'd buy them personally. Not as seemingly good for you as they initially appear.

I bought these since I was looking for protein cookies (that are low in sugar). I'd suggest the seller add a photo of the ingredients on the posting, as this would have avoided me buying them, thinking they aren't so high in sugar and calories - I only realised this after eating one of them and then checking (my fault, as if I'd have scrolled down and read the description, I'd have seen it) Didn't like the grainy texture and overly sweet taste either.

These are really tasty, protein-enriched cookie treats with a very decent helping of choc chips mixed into the recipe. I say 'protein-enriched' as they're definitely at the 'protein treat' end of the market rather than 'diet protein'. They'll take a fair chunk out of your calorie allowance (344 cals) with 16g fat (8.3g sat fat) and 25g of sugar (obviously why they taste so nice!). That said, the fat content seems mainly from the butter rather than any artificial ingredients, and one of the best things about these cookies is that they do have a really nice, natural, home-baked taste thanks to the (comparatively) short ingredient list. Texture-wise, they're slightly firmer and a bit crumblier than my usual taste in soft cookies, although they make excellent coffee dippers. If you're in a bulking phase, they're absolutely great - a substantial nutritional whack, and very enjoyable too! Even if you're not, it's worth making a bit of room for them in your allowance for a special pre- or post-workout treat.

Seem to be pretty good. I give them to my mum who has low protein intake and she likes them. Seems to be helping with wound healing process. Will know more later.
