Disclaimer: I was provided a gift card from The Protein Bakery to try some of their products. I was not compensated for this post. All opinions and thoughts are my own. I will always keep it real!
If you follow me on Instagram then you know that I love food, especially pizza. I’m also a carb-a-holicand I would eat bread every day if given the opportunity. Obviously I can’t eat pizza and bread everyday so that’s why I follow the 80/20 role – eat healthy 80% of the time and splurge on the “not-so-good-for-you” foods the other 20%. This works for me because I never feel like I’m missing out on any particular food group.
But sometime you get lucky and find a great tasting food that actually is NOT bad for you. This is the case with The Protein Bakery products.
What is The Protein Bakery?
As seen on their website:
We chose the name Protein Bakery for a good (and healthy) reason. Muscle-building protein is a huge component in all our delicious cookies, brownies, and blondies. Protein makes you feel fuller faster and prevents spikes in blood sugar levels. It’s one way to keep the heart beat steady and the body in balance. Every delectable, guilt-free bite is high in dietary fiber, low in gluten, and delivers up to 5 times more protein than the average baked treat.
Our trans-fat free, preservative free, and wheat flour-free recipes are also nutritionally balanced. We combine natural ingredients like heart-healthy rolled oats, light brown sugar, and the finest chocolate. We bake small batches from scratch every day. With the same attention to perfection as we did on day 1 in November, 1999. Our 20-plus flavors of creative culinary confections boast gourmet accents like swirls of rich peanut butter, tangy cranberries, toasted walnuts, sun-sweetened coconut, and so much more.
Bobby Deen, Rachael Ray, Oprah Winfrey, Equinox Gyms, Bergdorf’s, LivingSocial, all sing our praises. And until our great goodies arrive at their new address, they’re handled with the utmost care. You are the reason we want to get our day started! We’re available online 24/7. You can also find us in person tucked away in our special Sweet Spot in New York City!

| Different cookies but just as delicious |
What I absolutely loved about the cookies were that you could really taste all the flavors, especially in the oatmeal cranberry cookies. Both types of cookies were also super soft. Also the cookies were low in sugar and fat and had between 4-5 grams of protein. I felt like the cookies paired with fruit or greek yogurt would be very filling. Definitely a better alternative than a bagel which is really nothing but empty calories.
This was the perfect treat after dinner. There are 4 grams of protein in the little powerhouse brownie and it was delicious! I actually warmed this up in the microwave before eating and it was so good!
One word – delicious! You can really see the coconut flakes and chocolate chips. In addition, the brownie has 12 grams of protein! So basically it’s a tasty treat that will keep you full (and we are know you’re supposed to eat protein after a long run).
I had a very similar experience with the walnut brownie! What i love about the company is that they use real food. For instance, you know how you buy a blueberry yogurt but it doesn’t have any actual blueberries? Yeah, that sucks! But these treats have real nuts, real chocolate chips, real coconut, etc.
