I first heard of Lenny & Larry’s products at FitBloggin’ 13 and right off back I was skeptic. I’ve tasted protein brownies and cookies in the past and they all tasted like card board to me. So at first I didn’t want any parts of it. Eventually I let my guard down and tried the triple chocolate brownie and lemon poppy cookie. The brownie was taste pretty good but the cookie was something amazing. I was stunned how it really tasted like a cookie and not like cardboard.
After I ate the cookie it was time for me to read the label and see what it cost me in calories. At first glance I thought to myself this is not bad… It’s had protein (of course!), some vitamins, nutrients, and it’s all natural.Additionally there was no high fructose corn syrup or sugar alcohols All of which is good in my book.
However there is always a caveat to every product. My caveat with the Lenny & Larry’s product is the serving size on the label. One whole cookie or brownie is two serving sizes. I mention that because when most people read the label of an individual package cookie/brownie they would think it is one serving size. This could get a little tricky if you are counting calories and you don’t play attention.
The Muscle Brownies comes in four flavors: Cookies & Cream, Triple Chocolate, Caramel Walnut and Peanut Butter and has 340 calories and 20 grams of protein per package. The Complete Cookie comes in six delicious flavors: Pumpkin, Oatmeal Raisin, Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, Lemon Poppy and Double Chocolate and has 190 calories and 15 grams of protein per cookie. The cookies are also 100% vegan.
Final Thoughts
Lenny & Larry’s have great tasting products and they are an excellent source of protein. My only caveat is the labeling of the individually wrapped package. I believe they should have put all the stats on the label as if a whole cookie/brownie is one serving size instead of two.
I would recommend this to any person who’s looking for a protein shake alternative. Since the cookies are 100% vegan I hear my vegan friends rejoicing as they enjoy a cookie.
I do have to mention that I haven’t ate any of their products since I went Paleo, which was a couple weeks ago.
