Lenny & Larry’s Cookie-fied Bar, Cookies & Creme, 45g – Plant-Based Protein Bar, Vegan and Non-GMO (Pack of 9)

These are my favorite
They are super tasty and I always look forward to them. They have a decent amount of protein and I love that they are vegan. I’ve tried the almond and sea salt ones, the cookie and cream ones, and the chocolate peanut butter ones and I love them all (but the PB ones are probably my personal favorite). I love the little crispy bits on top of all the bars and the chocolate they use is quite nice. They are super affordable for vegan protein bars and worth every penny in my opinion.

Good bars
A little chewy but they taste good!

It was okay
Okay, here’s a review of the Lenny & Larry’s Cookie-fied Bar in Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, 45g:Lenny & Larry’s Cookie-fied Bar, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip (45g) – A Satisfyingly Chewy Treat, But Not a True Cookie ExperienceLenny & Larry’s has built a name for itself with its protein-packed, often plant-based baked goods, and the Cookie-fied Bar definitely leans into that reputation. This Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip version aims to bridge the gap between a protein bar and a cookie, but does it succeed? Here’s my take:Pros:Satisfyingly Filling: The 45g bar is surprisingly dense and feels substantial, thanks to its high protein and fiber content. It definitely keeps you full and curbs hunger between meals. This is a big plus if you’re looking for a protein source or a quick snack to fuel a workout.Great Peanut Butter Flavor: The peanut butter flavor is prominent and authentic, which is fantastic for peanut butter lovers. It’s not artificial or overly sweet, providing a nice grounding note.Decent Chocolate Chips: The chocolate chips, albeit not abundant, add a touch of sweetness and texture. They’re evenly distributed throughout the bar, contributing to the overall flavor profile.Plant-Based Protein: For those following a plant-based diet, this is a good option to boost protein intake. It relies on a blend of wheat protein and pea protein, making it a good alternative to whey-based bars.Reasonable Macros: While not strictly low-calorie, the macros are generally decent for a protein-focused bar. It packs a good amount of protein and fiber, making it a more balanced snack option compared to traditional candy bars.Portable and Convenient: The individually wrapped bar is easy to throw into a gym bag, purse, or backpack for on-the-go snacking.Cons:Not a Cookie Texture: Despite the “Cookie-fied” name, this bar doesn’t quite replicate the soft and chewy texture of a real cookie. It’s denser and chewier, closer to a protein bar than an actual cookie. This can be a letdown if you’re expecting a classic cookie experience.Slightly Dry: The texture can lean towards the dry side, especially towards the edges of the bar. This sometimes requires a beverage to help wash it down.Sweetness Level: While the peanut butter flavor is good, the overall sweetness might be a bit much for some. The chocolate chips add to the sweetness, and it could be too sweet first thing in the morning.Price Point: These bars tend to be on the pricier side compared to other protein bars or snacks. If you’re not specifically seeking the plant-based aspect, more affordable options are available.Overall:The Lenny & Larry’s Cookie-fied Bar in Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip is a solid protein bar that delivers on its promise of plant-based protein and a generous dose of peanut butter flavor. It’s a filling and satisfying snack that’s great for those looking for a convenient protein source. However, don’t expect a genuine cookie experience. The texture is more dense and chewy than soft and gooey, and the overall sweetness might not appeal to everyone.Who is this for?People looking for a plant-based protein bar.Peanut butter lovers.Individuals who need a filling and convenient snack on the go.Those who enjoy a chewy texture and don’t mind a bar that’s not exactly like a cookie.Who is this not for?People seeking a truly authentic cookie experience.Those who prefer soft and gooey snacks.People on a budget looking for an affordable snack.Those who dislike very sweet or dense treats.Rating:3.5 out of 5 stars. Good for what it is (a protein bar), but doesn’t quite live up to the “cookie-fied” hype.Would I buy it again?Probably, for those times I need a quick and filling plant-based protein bar, but not as a regular treat. I’d likely try other flavors in the range to see if any offer a better texture.

Tasted old and dry, normally a favorite
This Batch Was Off. We’ve always loved Lenny & Larry’s bars. It’s a household favorite snack for on the go busy days.Unfortunately, the last batch we received of the chocolate almond sea salt was noticeably drier than usual. The bars were crumbly and didn’t have the soft, chewy texture we’ve come to expect. It might have been a one-off issue, as this hasn’t happened before, but it was disappointing this time around.Why We Still Love Them: • They’re plant-based and vegan, which is a big plus for our family. • Normally, the flavor is fantastic, and they’re great for keeping in the car for after school snacks, running errands, or hangry kids after a sporting event.I’m hoping the next order is back to the high standard we’re used to because these are usually a staple in our snack rotation. The other flavors we received were good but the chocolate almond sea salt tastes old and dry.

expected much better taste and yummy nutrition value

Nach wie vor ein Proteinriegel, also erwartet vom Geschmack her keinen normalen Schokoriegel, aber echt ganz lecker! Die Konsistenz ist natürlich wie immer bei Proteinriegeln etwas “chewy”, aber die kleinen Drops aus Schokolade oder Cookie Dough darin werten das ganze auf. Nach langer Suche ist das hier das Produkt mit den besten Inhaltsstoffen (deutlich weniger Zucker etc. als andere Produkte, dennoch viel Eiweiß) und das zu einem fairen Preis.
