Protein Bakery, Treats For The Holidays Or Anyday

Yesterday, I told you that I was going to give you some great ideas for holiday shopping. I have been waiting to tell you about a true gem company that I found called the Protein Bakery.

I found them while browsing for healthy baked goods last month and I’m so glad that I did. I contacted them asking for samples to review and was graciously sent this generous box full of goodies.

The Protein Bakery has been baking since 1999. (That’s 2 years after I graduated high school but who’s counting? Muwaahahaha!)

They make healthy great tasting brownies, cookies, and blondies that are natural, wheat-free, trans-fat-free, and protein packed. They say that you should devour your goodies within 3 weeks but I’m telling you they won’t last that long. Once you try one, you’ll want the rest.

Protein Bakery uses whey protein in their mix which makes some of their baked goods have more protein than an egg or a glass of milk. Protein makes you feel fuller faster and prevents spikes in blood sugar levels. Some of the treats have as much fiber as a bowl of oatmeal. They don’t use wheat flour and their treats are low in gluten. The Protein Bakery uses natural ingredients like rolled oats, light brown sugar, and the finest chocolate.

The founder, Stephen Lincoln, taught fitness in San Fransisco. He got fit, lost 82 lbs and moved to New York City in 1997 and worked as a group fitness instructor. He was featured as hottest bachelor in People Magazine, 2003. (Seriously, check it out !)

“Over 20 years of first-hand experience has taught me that a balanced diet is key to keeping fit and keeping up with a physically demanding schedule. I also know that people value taste as much as health. But, finding that balance isn’t easy. So, in 1999, I created the Protein Bakery to do just that — feature the many health benefits of protein in rich gourmet taste. The result? The best cookies, brownies, and blondies on the planet.”

I started with a Peanut Butter Blondie. It was rich, swirled with creamy peanut butter, and utterly delicious. It was satisfying and filled me up until my next meal.

I’m embarrassed to say that the cookies didn’t last long enough for me to take pictures. I ate the cookies…all except for 1 or 2…I didn’t share!!! I wanted all the treats to myself! (Please don’t tell Santa)

Here are some cookie pics from their site…

The Chocolate Chip Brownie was again rich, fulfilling, chocolatey, and delicious. I loved having whole chocolate morsels in almost every bite.

But the BEST EVAH was the Wicked Mint Brownie. Here is a picture from their website since mine didn’t get photographed. LOL!

I’m telling you that this is my all-time favorite brownie now. BEST EVAH EVAH!

This company is one of my favorites, their treats would make a great holiday gift for anyone on your list. I’ve asked Santa for a gift basket for under my tree. I hope he doesn’t find out that I didn’t share any of the goodies though.

Happy Shopping!!
